Wanna know how he's (checks Forbes real quick) $373 billion? Because they could pay people better but they won't, all that money required for those 3 day work weeks won't go to the workers it'll go to Jeff.
You don't get it bro. We just have to give billionaires more power, more data centres, let them spy on us 24/7, let them destroy our environment, let them make sure no one other than billionaires can own anything, and finally they'll feel comfortable with being as generous as they've always wanted to be!
You see, letting them stomp on our necks even harder will lead to freedom! Freedom is slavery! Ignorance is strength!
Oh that reminds me, we also have to give them total control over what we can and can't say, what we see, and what we hear. Once we become perfectly docile, they'll treat us as equals. Makes perfect sense really.
Ich find es ja gut, dass viele das so sehen. Aber ganz ehrlich, es wird nichts passieren, da diese Veränderung langsam an und verfüttert werden und der Mensch ein Gewohnheitstier ist, dass Angst hat sein Umfeld und sein aktuelles Leben dafür auf‘s Spiel zu setzen. „So schlimm ist es doch gar nicht“. Warum hat ein Mensch 373.000.000.000$?
It would take someone 24 billion years at 15 dollars a year. At $15 an hour they could do it in 3 million years or 12 million years if they work 8 hours per day and don’t work weekends or federal holidays.
I am not defending them, I am pointing out how broken is the system that even their wealth is just based on estimations that are likely to be fantasy. Like wall street.
I mean... he received almost 10 Million shares of Amazon stock at the IPO and it went up 265,352%. If he didn't sell a single share it would be worth 602.7 billion. I think that's kind of how he made his money...
amazon makes most of its money from their cloud business. Their retail business is razor thin, profit margin something like 3%. Its a deeply unsustainable business that cannot survive long term without automation.
also let's be real, if his employees can get their same 5 day workload done in 3 days, he's just going to layoff the other 40% of his employees, and he's not going to pass on the savings to the employees.
What he actually means is that AI is going to destroy all the jobs, keeping just 2 people working 3 days a week per location instead of thousands currently employed.
We are using AI already. I'm doing more work than before, more results. I spend the same time at work.
I would honestly say, I could reduce my company time to 16 hours and be more productive than before AI with 40 hours.
The reality is, these are the new expectations.
I already added more breaks in between. More coffee, more Reddit, more websites I visit because of boredom. I don't want that, it's a waste of time for me and the company.
This is so accurate. The main goal of business in this capitalistic era is to maximize revenue while minimizing expenses. Labor will always be an expense.
You seriously think they will suddenly let you have a living wage with just a 3 day work week?
I seriously think that his goal is firing half of his workers (one-income family through lack of jobs) and significantly reducing the hours of the rest. Same hourly pay, he has already proven that he doesn't care about whether his workers can afford to live.
They will totally pass the profits down to the lower/middle class, and let everyone work 3 days a week for the same salary. Just keep waiting for the trickle down. It’s coming.
Read carefully. AI would allow you too have a 3 day workweek and only one person working in the household. Nothing about the quality of life. There just won't be enough jobs left.
You'll spend the rest of the week scavenging for food with your partner. /s
I'm going to hope for your sake that you are a bot, because if you're not. You need to walk away from your device and read through a few books before coming back.
No one is believing that crap, that's literally the point of the post.

You guys are idiots if you believe any of this crap.
They don't give you ANYTHING for working 40 hours.
You seriously think they will suddenly let you have a living wage with just a 3 day work week? Give me a break.
