Turns out a dumb fuck robot that gets everything wrong is still cheaper than a half-competent human

need me a robot priest. my current one isn’t cutting it anymore so i bring my vibrating dildo to church 😄

dilong96.bsky.social•135 days ago

They’re not even real ai, they’re just procedural generation programs that make corporate slop. I want goddamn terminators not shrimp Jesus.

I'll never not think of this scene

moreanonhandle.bsky.social•136 days ago

Inspired: the strong suspicion that it wouldn’t matter much in the grand scheme of things if a dumb robot did take one’s job

This is the way.

tinpottop.bsky.social•136 days ago

Robots are still dumb but humans are even dumberer

will I am simply not that smart

tujungadude.bsky.social•135 days ago

inspired: robots will completely replace management, but still require weekly staff meetings, status reports, performance plans, and yearly appraisals.

rabagast.bsky.social•135 days ago

they already did. i'm smarter, but they are faster and cheaper and that's what matters. so what if they tell you to eat rocks, it's not like the corporation that pays for the job gives a damn whether you eat rocks or not.

petersealy.bsky.social•135 days ago

Ha!

dragoncobolt.bsky.social•136 days ago

inspired: fearing you'll lose your job then get rehired to fix all the robot's shit at half pay and twice the work and no benefits

dragoncobolt.bsky.social•136 days ago

oh god i'm not even the first one to think of this, fuck

fricker.bsky.social•136 days ago

We need robots in grocery stores assembling meal kits.

johnmulloy.bsky.social•136 days ago

assembling burritos obviously

cheaper then the cost of the ingredients apparently

sturtle.bsky.social•136 days ago

Ired: knowing that robots will be dumb and ruin the company but management will go ahead and do it anyway.

librarysocialism.social•135 days ago

those short term bonuses ain't going to pay themselves!

querydash.bsky.social•136 days ago

They’ll dumbly take your job at your company, then ALSO make you do data entry and self-help work at OTHER companies you literally pay as a customer!

So, even worse!

sterix.bsky.social•136 days ago

inspired: happy knowing that robots will kill us , and sabotaging everyone attempting to resist

badatom.org•136 days ago

You omitted:

fired: your job was taken by dumb robots

twohitgood.bsky.social•136 days ago

depressed: the robot takes your job, you are let go, then hired back at half the rate to babysit the robot and fix its mistakes.

adamlbrown.bsky.social•135 days ago

you'd be hired back to do your original job but in secret, the ai is there for the shareprice

pangurban.bsky.social•135 days ago

areallycolorfulpix.bsky.social•136 days ago

robots are dumb, but what they do is follow orders with out question , and you don't need to give them christmass day off, robots don't have rights yet

wideeyedloner.bsky.social•135 days ago

Fine by me if humans get UBI.

abivasquez.bsky.social•136 days ago

Inspired: the robots will remain dumb but take the job you're striving for, leaving you stranded in your current gruelling dead-ender

smfbooth.bsky.social•135 days ago

An age old story.

squizzradical.bsky.social•135 days ago

I fear the latter, also some of the jobs I’ve had can be condensed to “Interventional Button Pusher.”

snufkinlib.bsky.social•135 days ago

I was once taking the minutes of a meeting where we were told the device could take minutes

loozcoilz.bsky.social•135 days ago

Because the people training the robots are dumb. America is screwed, have fun while you can.

dilong96.bsky.social•135 days ago

Yeah and I’m fucking trapped in it, I don’t want to be governed by nazi oligarchs and I want to actually live to see my 30th birthday.

yealurowluro.bsky.social•135 days ago

And do it so badly people die.

jugbandjames.bsky.social•135 days ago

hired: your new job is fixing all the shit the robot fucked up, and it's harder than your old job.

jugbandjames.bsky.social•135 days ago

And doesn't have benefits.

kellybarnhill.bsky.social•135 days ago

And the pay is crap

kelleybuz.bsky.social•131 days ago

Good one

tubapeter.bsky.social•136 days ago

If the machine can do your job half as well as you do for a quarter of the cost... uh-oh.

You KNOW that Boeing execs are so hot to replace engineers with AI.

portna.bsky.social•135 days ago

They don't have to be that smart...

citizenesskane.bsky.social•135 days ago

The "wired" part is definitely happening in my profession, technical translating/editing. In the past 30 years I've seen computer-assisted translating (CAT) go from being a time-waster to an essential tool to an excuse to cut out human post-editing, leaving glop at best & dangerous misinfo at worst.

seahorseshoe.bsky.social•136 days ago

Wow! You got a @greatdismal.bsky.social reskeet on this hilarious take on just how bad our times are. I am proud for you!

mapperwocky.bsky.social•136 days ago

The related joke is “I’m not worried about AI taking my job, but a few well written shell scripts might.” 😅

twosense.bsky.social•135 days ago

And they will kill you like oops

real-og-1952.bsky.social•136 days ago

A robot asking you,”are you a robot?”

eddiebazil.bsky.social•136 days ago

If you become Maga neither of those two will be realised.

It sux, Will. I wish America would get over itself and appreciate the jewels it has in all of its hardworking, diligent reporters.

Here's hoping for the least damaging outcome tomorrow for all of your colleagues.
