    It’s like machines replacing farm hands. It’s the end of feudalism because the peasants are not needed anymore. The feudal lords won’t make the profits but the factory owners and the mining owners.

    If the AI companies are the mines, what are the factories?

    With AI, essentially everybody starts at middle management or above because the grunt work is automated. Now it’s all about allocating resources, acquiring clients and creating new products.

    Somebody has to monitor the AIs and write the prompts. It’s middle management for everybody.

    It’s one vote away. Every bigger city can have one school for early birds and one for night owls. Then parents can start work whenever they want. For that, companies can have flexible starting times. If they work in shifts, allow people to trade shifts so that some do all the early and some do all the late shifts.

    Without artificial light, there were no sleep problems because more than enough hours were darkness. People took breaks from sleep.

    The answer is maturity. Structure does not hurt if it is chosen voluntarily. It feels good to do things exactly as intended.

    Waking up at 6:30 doesn’t hurt if sleep started early and without being drunk.

    The big tragedy is that society does everything to keep as many people as possible in a state of disarray. People to whom life is as described above don’t have the will to leave bad employment situations behind.


  • plyth@feddit.orgtomemes@lemmy.worldUh, yeah. That rings a bell.

    China, India, The Americas, Australia, many parts of Africa? Life was good there.

    Even Europe was not that bad. If you had many more free days, work that was meaningful and unprocessed food, how bad would it be to die earlier? In total, they still had more days of life for themselves.

    We accept all identities but not the animalistic core of identity, the smell.

    People can dress however they want but they cannot smell however they want.

    It makes sense because we can look away or close our eyes. It still says something about the limits of acceptence.
