Fight for legislation that will stop requiring to run in the job rat maze to survive in the first place, to have a fighting chance
Here, here. Or is it hear, hear? Either way I completely agree, though I very much doubt we'll see something like that in our lifetime. Still worth fighting for though!
Would love to see how well this argument goes with people already being affected negatively by AI. For how great this tech is supposed to be it somehow only attracts the worst people to defend it, funny that!
Edit: Lol wait, maybe you already beat me to the punch. Great company ya got there
Is there any way this can be prevented in the future?
Unfortunately, I can't think of any way to add prevention measures that wouldn't also open the door for some insanely transphobic practices. I think this is one of those things where you have to really rely on good faith behavior from the local community/people signing up for the event
Now I could be wrong, but I think there's probably one or two women and enbys in Florida :P They haven't been completely outlawed yet
Significantly easier college admissions (despite using a standardized process), extremely generous business loans, proportional ethnic representation in government, vast infrastructure projects to bridge the salary gap, and celebrations of different cultures across the country. Not very capitalist of them
Sorry OP but basically none of this has anything to do with not being capitalist. I don't even doubt that China is doing better in those departments than America, but that has more to do with how utterly shit America is at most things outside of building bombs than how communist China is. They should get some kudos for executing a couple billionaires, though, gotta at least give 'em that.
That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure if the game industry had different standards to other fields for that kinda stuff. Sacking a bunch of QA agents does not sound promising for the games they're working on....
So funny how that all got memory holed and now you have people who genuinely still think it was a spy balloon of some kind (even in these very replies!) because they just never read anything past the headlines and never followed up on it after. Just completely lacking any curiosity or news literacy but will still scoff at the thought of them being victims of very obvious propaganda haha
Departments ranging from art to production were impacted, but the majority of those laid off worked in quality assurance testing. The sources said at least 25 developers were part of the downsizing. Full-time staff do not appear to have been part of the cuts.
Sources tell Kotaku that no severance is being offered for those currently laid off, and that impacted developers as well as remaining employees are being pressured to keep the news quiet. Their contracts won’t be officially terminated until the end of October and they’ll be expected to work through the rest of the month.
If I'm understanding right it sounds like only part-time contractors are getting cut. Do part-time employees usually get offered severance packages or is this (kinda ghoulish) business as usual? I wonder how much work those people will get done for the rest of the month
Make it make sense, Beehaw =(
Unfortunately AI is one of this community's blind spots so you're probably outta luck on this one. If it's not someone shyly giving themselves a pass for it because their use case is totally ethical and unlike other people using it, it's someone smugly laughing at people scared for their livelihoods as companies cut out more and more people to save a dollar here and there. The amount of people that welcome factory churned content slop will always outnumber those that still give a shit, best we can do is hope for some legislation that limits the more harmful aspects and learn to deal with the harm that can't be undone.
This would be the strangest thing to lie about of all things. I dunno what clout is gained by saying it took 2 days to set up a router lol
Who could have guessed! What's that? Everyone, you say? Hmm
