Reined? No. Ruined

Right, riiiiiight… I forgot about that part. Make AIs train each other. What could go wrong?!

I think you’re right. I thought this was a new story making the rounds

Companies keep talking about replacing employees with AI yet they keep up this fuckery. Y’all’s AI models are either good enough to handle this shit or shouldn’t be used as a bad-faith bargaining chip. If there were ever a job that should be eliminated from human labor, NSFL content moderating seems like the perfect contender.

You take that back! This is a booby-free house! I’ll tell you the same thing I tell my wife… “No one likes boobies, that’s why I invented the 8-cup bra for our uberboobiful dogs. Once people find out about these, they’re gonna sell big, baby!”

If you’re cold, they’re cold. Bring your gas generators and charcoal grills inside.

Hey! This is MY house! You can’t just tell me to leave!

Okay, you’ve convinced me, here’s the key—the alarm code is 55378008

you own it but also can’t really modify it

Lemme introduction you to my friends: drugs, TBIs, and dementia

Edit:

Lemme introduction you

Wtf is wrong with me lately? Geez…

At least 3 but probably 6. Anyone who tells you 8 is a liar.

yep you’re dead good luck turning 15

How do I made my deposit??

📎 Looks like you’re writing a manifesto, would you like some suggestions?

That’s a solution I could get behind!

Purchase was the wrong word. Acquire?

Some punishments are simply too cruel

The best part of long-term solutions is that they’re actually solutions. The worst part about immediate satisfaction is that it’s only immediately satisfying. If someone has an immediate problem, it’s hard to get them to look at long-term solutions.

Sorry, I’ve been a major downer today…

Whew, I got on just in time! What’s gonna happen to everyone who didn’t join?

You’re right. But they would have literally starved or been mangled by a machine if they had done nothing. Back then, the greatest weapons the top 1% had were hired guns.

A century ago, your choices were to die today on strike, or die tomorrow from starvation or work conditions, even if you play by the rules. Now, the greatest weapon the 1% has is complacency. You can die today on strike or you can play by the rules and the corporate overlords will feed you just enough until you become too expensive to feed.

How do you ask someone to starve when they have a legitimate alternative? Complacency is a killer.

The middle class income ranges from $17k per person up to $90k per person. I hope you don’t think that I’m trying to belittle anyone. Someone making 90K can definitely afford to not be a bootlicker; a family of four averaging nearly $17K per family member is gonna have a much harder time.

The year that I lost my shit-paying job only to find an even worse-paying job with more hours was really fucking tough. If you’d offered me $60K legally when I was making $12K and scrambling for rent, I’d’ve had a really hard fucking time saying no to that. Back then, I was living alone and had very little to live for. Drop me into my current living arrangement and sub that situation: I’m saying yes to the money 80% of the time.

I wish I could say that I’m better than that, but struggling in a capitalist society makes you sick, scared, and desperate really fast. I’m not saying that people with lower income deserve lower expectations or should live by lower standards. I’m just saying to reserve your judgement before shitting on someone and labeling them a snitch before you know whether they could have afforded anything else.

For those of us who can afford class solidarity against the top 1%, we need to remember that the most vulnerable need to be helped up, not stepped on. Instinctually blaming this McDonald’s worker helps the billionaires class far more than many of us may realize.

Maybe I’m off-base, but ultimately, this act of betrayal is unlikely to have an effect on the momentum of this potential movement. Whoever killed Thompson is unlikely to act again, their message was unlikely to be heard while they were in hiding, and if they are the hero everyone believes they also likely would forgive someone who was trying to de-shittify their life a little bit.

If you want this to move forward, pull those below you up so they can join us, not attack them for being on a lower level. Class solidarity is for those who can afford it. It sounds like you and I can afford it, so help someone else be able to afford it. Don’t shun people who are too scared of starving to fight. Feed them.
