“Working in this concentration camp is soul crushing” the Nazi complains.
“I mean, the hours are just crazy! And the colleagues are rude brutes 😕” he continued.
Literally the gulag is a gulag. The engineers are getting paid and fed. They have never faced adversity in their lives if they think getting paid for making evil software is the same as being in a gulag. Sorry you have to work at a company that sucks, but that’s on you.
Literally
Addiction to money is causing 95% of our problems, and I don’t just mean Zuckerberg and the other billionaires. Anyone who throws a coworker under the bus to avoid taking blame, pressures a subordinate to work an extra hour to meet a deadline, or otherwise prioritizes “work” over the mental health of those around them contributes to this dumpster fire of a society we’ve built.
We all point the finger at the top, but I think the problem is much more widespread than that.
In this case: why tf aren’t the workers refusing to build Zuck’s AI? Addiction to money.
I am not sure if u have read unabomber’s manifesto “Industrial society and it’s future” but he basically calls this money addiction and such just fulfilment for power process, I can’t really type all of the things he says here but I would recommend reading his paper, also take in consideration that it’s just one of the options and there are different kinds of addictions with different reasons but I think you are talking about specifically one Unabomber is explaining, just my guess tho
Wait they are being forced to work without pay? They’re in labor camps? They are imprisoned and cannot see their friends and family? They can’t go home?!
Oh. They’re just complaining about working for an evil corporation? Anyway…
Zuckerberg […] “we’ve made mistakes and will almost certainly make more.”
I read that he is not going to change things. Cheers.
