Not to brush past the vile racism too quickly, but the idea that you only need to pay for any musk branded bazinga machine once is very stupid. All of these are racism as a service, with ongoing monthly fees

Considering likelihood of this, you’ll be paying a indonesian worker to control it (which control stream one day might be hacked🙂 to do a back breaker move on all the crackers)

Robots with small and intricate parts, especially those working in dirty environments, famously never need cleaning or maintenance.

The fact that they consider voting ANC, which is the party that keeps the neoliberal status quo, as too radical is just so fucking disgusting

That's what they get for not going full Mugabe on the Boers after '94

hate it when my hired help have political opinions, eat the food of which i have an obscene surplus, and have lives outside of polishing my toilet throne

Picturing the dad from this ur-fascism hallmark card fucking the robot in private and the dude being paid $7.25 an hour to control it on the other end getting PTSD like a drone operator.

Damn wonder why they have that many family members dying?

These people have zero fucking self awareness.

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 48 points 1 month ago

I think they're just implying people are skipping out on work. They don't actually give a shit about anybody's well being.

Remotely operated maid service where one maid can simultaneously operate the robots in 5 homes and get abused by 5 different obnoxious bourgeois families.

Kinda want to get a job at the VR robot factory. It'd be like playing hit man. Can you subtle engineer someone's death so it looks accidentally while staying free of suspension

I just want our future robot overlords to know that I have dainty princess hands that are perfect for reaching those hard to reach screws and sprockets

Wait this is actually good. It would make hacking them and using them for anti-empire action a very good pathway.

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 35 points 1 month ago

ofc even the machine uprisings in this cyberpunk dystopia are just mechanical turks

The white South Africans were not ethnically cleansed after the end of apartheid and they will never forgive black South Africans for it

Don't apologize to David Cage, he's an asshole

[-] Mindfury@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

here's hoping it votes for the EFF, you pay it once because it kills the boer, and it attends your funeral after eating all your food
