we're not capitalist, we're corporatists. which is what Mussolini thought fascism should be called, as he saw fascism as the merging of corporations and the state.

At best it's going to mean having two jobs

Fuck that guy 🖕

This is Lemmy. You can say you hope a suicide drone blows up in his face on camera and we get to watch his head turn into pink mist.

Oh nooo. Is that me? I thought money made you beautiful and happy!

Even if it did, Bezos would lobby against the laws needed to establish it.

He's still the executive chairman, though, which can be a more powerful position than CEO, depending on the corporate structure of specific companies.

Odds are pretty damn good that Amazon is one of those companies.

"One income family" makes sense when he thinks of everyone working at Amazon as family.

It's like telling the 13 year old who wouldn't feed their new puppy why they can't have a new kitten.

When I was a kid, computers were just starting to turn from primitive to sophisticated. The business world looked at the new computer age and immediately said "This technology will usher in a new era of productivity where we can have shorter and fewer working days per week!"

And they were right. Sort of.

The new era of productivity was on the horizon, but the promised benefits for the working class never materialized.

Businesses are never incentivized to pass the savings of increased productivity on to the employees. In fact, any business that voluntarily chooses to do so out of the goodness of their own hearts and a desire to provide for their workers would likely be out-competed by other companies vying for the same market share who chose not to do so. That's not a bug, that's a feature of capitalism.

Mark my words, as someone who has lived through the broken promise of "technology will free us from the shackles of labor!" once before; AI is not going to give you a 3 day workweek or put any extra money in your paycheck (unless you are part of the grift itself). It's more likely to give you a 0 day workweek when your corporate masters find a way to eliminate you, you squeaky cog.

And if you think I'm wrong, that's fine, but just remember what I said when your company posts a 300% increase in productivity, a 200% increase in revenue and record-shattering profits, but when it comes time for your performance review you get a 0.5% cost of living raise, a request for you to take on more responsibility now that you have agentic AI automating much of your job, and a pat on the back for your hard work.

If you get anything from the coming AI revolution, it won't be because your bosses decide to give it to you. It will be because you took it for yourself by political force or physical force.

That man needs to take less HGH, his skull is blowing up like a damn balloon.

🙏 Dear Luigi,...

We probably have different guidelines. AI helps alot in this field.

Sure it will. The question is just for whom...

It has opened up possibilities for me. Got several save editors made, a 2006 game that now runs and controls well on modern Windows, and it is recompiling a Windows v3.1 game to run natively on modern computers. Also can be used to translate games, and it made a plugin.

Considering that this is with an experimental local AI model, I think the proper release would push things a step further.

Not quite 100 years, depending on where you are talking about.

In the USA the 40 hour work week became federal law in 1938. In the Netherlands it wasn't until the mid-1970s when it became normal.

Capitalists earn money by having money, not working.
