    It’s funny that I never considered it, but why would they replace the low wage workers? Capitalism would care most about replacing the high wage workers (except for the CEO and other board members. They obviously are worth every penny and are irreplaceable with ai. ~signed CEO)

      because robots are still 10x cheaper than the low wage workers (in developed countries at least), and low wage worker jobs are usually easier to automate.

      The high earners’ jobs are already mostly replaced by technology, but companies keep employing them and paying them anyway. They mostly schedule meetings.

      If companies made logical decisions, yes.

    This happens when capitalists own both labor and the robots.

      I disagree with that as a blanket statement. Humans have always used tools to augment our artistic capabilities, and AI is just the newest, shiniest tool. The fact that corps want to replace human artists with machines for cost cutting does not invalidate use cases like an independent singer-wongwriter from generating an album cover for themselves based on their lyrics.

      We’re 10k users. There’s not that much content on here. I didn’t post almost ever on reddit, but considering we need content, I steal images I find funny off imgur and post them here in an attempt to add content to the network.

      If we fragment our ‘funny posts’ in tens of subreddits from dozens of instances most users aren’t subscribed to or don’t often browse, we’ll have a lot less to keep ourselves entertained.

      Instead of trying to gatekeep when we hardly have enough users, why don’t you post things you do find appropriate for this subreddit and just scroll past or downvote what upsets you and move on? There’s no place or need for this sort of elitism and offering nothing better in return right now.
