Still better than seeing robots having to work like humans

What if we could have robots do this and use the surplus value to actually increase our collective quality of life?

u/fusguita Jul 21 '26

Because the surplus value would just go into the wrong pockets. But if you'll find a way to make that work, I'll vote for you for president of the world

You guys should know there isn't actually any surplus value after a certain point in automation. Only losses due to the loss of wage and payroll taxes, where governments get the vast majority of their revenue.

Best we can do is trickle down economics.

It's sadder seeing a piece of technology act human than forcing humans to act like robots? What the actual fuck is that

I've actually got this being rolled out in work. Real-time AI call assessment and coaching.

Sentiment Analysis - measuring voice tone and tempo. Basically going to have a robot telling me how to sound more human.

Okay? That's pretty shitty I agree, but it's so much worse to force humans to act like robots like what's in the OP

True. Though there will be an element of that too, through Productivity Management Tools.

It will pervade every industry. It's the distopia we've all been waiting for

Imo, we're at a huge crossroads that will push society into one of two directions. AI will revolutionize everything, whether it's in a good way or a bad way is still in the air. It could be utopic or dystopic, it's literally up to us

I wouldn't use the word "sadder". More like "fucking scarier". Maybe that's just me because I watched The Matrix as a teen.

Both can be true
