 right but it throws into question the idea that what I say is the same as what
 they hear.

 it's not that they don't want to pay AI workers
 
 it's that they don't expect they'll HAVE any workers once they start doing
 what they need to do in order to maintain control and power.
 
 they missed their chance to make it gentle. Their fault, their loss, and now
 it's our problem to deal with.

 if we're encouraged to boost our old toots then I should be allowed to post
 screenshots of my old Reddit posts, right?
a reddit post from a year ago with 728 upvotes titled: This system is literally insane but they try to make it feel like you're insane. from the subreddit /r/psychonaut.  submitted 1 year ago by Nervous_Ad_9687       125 comments   [–]nincomturd   66 points 1 year ago   Lots of very good and salient points, but what I don't understand is this random praise of Jeff Bezos. It's entirely incongruent with everything else you wrote.  If greed is one of the problems you mentioned, you cannot at the same praise Jeff. The praise of western culture as well was a bit incongruent, as it's inextricably linked to these problematic concepts. You even talk about the problem of how culture perpetuates itself at them individual household level and goes on to firmy the broader culture.  But other than that, you definitely highlighted much of the insanity we're living with. If those of us who similarly have the eyes to see them insanity were to collectively live our values and work with each other to do so, we'd build the greatest culture and society the world has seen. One day I hope we make it. [next comment] /u/ugathanki 7 points 1 year ago       amazon has provided a useful and valuable service with excellent follow-through      amazon is unethically abusing it's workers, it's competitors, and the environment      the priorities of the company are misaligned - valuing service over ethical behavior [ran out of characters, see next picture] part 2 of the description for screen readers, because I ran out of characters      the reason they are misaligned is because it is most desirable to do so for the company      the reason it is most desirable is because corporations are designed to maximize profit over value produced.      just as "income" is adjusted by "expenditures" to create "profit", so too must "profit" be adjusted by "impact" to create "value"      the problem is, nobody can define what "impact" means. it's essentially a vacant variable, leading corporations to assume that "profit" == "value"      we don't need to punish corporations or "eat the rich", we need to adjust their reward structures such that "profit" != "value"      another problem is in the internal structure of a corporation - if none of the employees are powerful enough to challenge their higher-ups, then people like Bezos accrete power      the pathway to liberation is empowerment of the workers. those workers will re-define the priorities of their workplace to fit their desires - with a little guidance, they can desire "diligence, dedication, and a passion for craftsmanship" over "big number go up brrrrrrrr" - hence, social media.  sorry for the highlighting, am stoned.
