reading up on the news stack.

some real retardo shit like trump going on about how "he knows everything about automation" and "its not worth the harm," or, tl;dr, the recurring politician obsession with "jobs."

CEOs may be meat automatons to make stock tickers go up, and politicians seem to be meat automatons for "number of jobs."

they might as well just pay people 1$ an hour to stare at dirt, because it would create an infinite number of jobs for the entire country. it would also be completely pointless. just like doing a job that a robot can automate simply to have a job to do. and then requiring someone do that job, which could be automated, because your job is your value as a human.

we remain stuck in an invalid precept.
