Is that seriously an "AI is like a child" poster made to motivate workers?
AI companies sure love to treat humans like machines, while humanizing machines.
Aren't humans just faulty organic machines anyways?
What a disgusting philosophy to have towards others. Please keep it to yourself.
To them, yeah. Worst part is they have to pay us enough to "live happily" instead of just keeping us in a box
I know. We should've made other organic machines by now but we are wasting time with metallic machines
Yes, we are, but people hate hearing that by the looks of your downvotes. 🤷♂️
It's just 8 down votes pit of almost 8 billion people on earth
These women are GLOBAL heroines.
They absolutely should be treated as such.
This world we create is so disgusting. Tech billionaires paying the least possible amount for "work" which borders slavery. And everyone seems to be OK with it.
It's not just that it's slavery, but it's literally destroying the people doing it. Being exposed to so much horrendous content has lasting impact. It's like the coal mines (or any number of other body destroying examples) but it's not lungs that suffer, it's the brain.
I'd argue that every kind of slavery literally destroys the slaves...kinda by definition :-( But yeah, this "job" is horrible. Especially if you don't even know what will suddenly hit you after you applied for a seemingly harmless job.
Social media was a mistake.
The first few years was just about fun and sharing high points of our lives (I was then pulled into Facebook by MMO clanmates initially for the casual games and for group communications). But then just came the fringers, the lechers, and the extremists, before entities like Cambridge Analytica arrived with the idea social media could also be used to manipulate the masses.
Working in EMS feels like this, only you get paid worse somehow
At least you're doing something valuable
I'm honestly so sick of this sick world we live in. Lately it just seems like the veil has slipped and we can see how truly depraved the rich and powerful are and we are not able to do anything significant to change it.
Dude... this is insane. This kind of work should be done by law enforcement or something. Certainly by somebody who has seen plenty of video evidence in their lifetime. By somebody who has regular visits with a mental health specialist as a work requirement. Unbelievable the things the tech industry will save on and how little they care about people. Why don't they have their own damn family members watch all that deranged crap?
As much as I hate to say it, law enforcement are people too. Not good people, but people.
Nobody should have to do a job that injured them, physically or mentally.
That's 100% a stupid take.
There are many dangerous jobs that NEED to be done.
And the people who do the jobs to keep your soft ass safe should be honored and well compensated.
People watch hours of traumatic content all day voluntarily.
How many people have you seen being killed this year? Probably more than most people ever see in their entire lives (before computers).
That trauma adds up for everyone
"None" is not a huge number. Why would i want to watch someone die?
