      Assuming everyone works equally, 900 hours between 12 guys is 75 hours per person. If they work a full 8 hours, that's 9 days of work, or Abt 2 weeks of work.
      Of course, work is segmented most likely. They're not just working on this video, they're prolly working on 3 or more at a time, which is how they do it full time.

    With all recent push-back against AI generated images, this episode feels more real than when it was released 5 years ago.

(Jobs like: detective work, discovery for law suit, financial auditing). One step further, with advancement of robotics, high precision tasks such as surgery?

That can REPLACE a human that used to do the same task but costly and prone to mistakes. The argument is not if AI are good for us, they ARE, by a huge margin.

      @ABitLeft Personal ownership can be fine. Private ownership is what is bad. Corporations as people, money as free speech/political donations, and bribes as lobbying are all bad.
      It's not that "capitalism" is bad, it's a stepping stone to a better system, another rung on the ladder of progress. Capitalism, as it is practiced now, is not good. That is because it is authoritarian capitalism at this point, and its oligarchy hides behind the governments it puppets, and has made its way into nearly every facet of life on this planet.
      One of the biggest hurdles we're facing, especially in the US, is lack of good education, cults of personality, cultish mentality, willful ignorance, and lack of understanding/empathy.
      The worst part about it, is that a huge chunk of MAGA people are "Christian," and don't even realize that the GOP *do not* represent anything about what their Bible teaches them... and all their strongest beliefs seem to contradict what a good Christian should be.
      The fucking Messiah of their faith is a brown, middle-eastern, Jewish man... a revolutionary, a radical, a martyr, and quite literally a Hippie Communist. In all likelihood, the dude actually went to learn in the East, and was trying to teach Buddhism to Jewish people, and nobody seems to get this... there is literally a whole practice that is quite well written, that outlines all the same principles as Jesus, and has really good (and rather secular) guidelines on how to be a better Christian. Also, technically Buddha isn't a "god", so practicing Buddhism doesn't violate the first commandment of the tablets of Moses.
      Next time you accidentally get into a discussion with a right-wing nut-job, remember to ask if they're Christian, and then ask them if they have ever made friends with homeless people, if they've ever sold everything they had and hit the road with faith in "The Way", if they've ever made food for hungry people, if they've ever welcomed in immigrants. Or just ask them if they're aware that Jesus wasn't a white man.

    • @lazerhosen
      @lazerhosen Před 2 lety +51

      @ABitLeft I'm talking about a way forward from where we are, that could be a small start to a greater "revolution" involving actually fixing what we have to make it better. If there is no private ownership of corporations, only employee-ownership, workers would have the ability to change their working conditions, bringing up their morale (and pay), become more effective, and have a stake in what they're doing (shrinking the alienation from the fruits of their labor).
      This is only one tiny facet of these ideas and what they could change. People can still "own" their own things within socialist systems. There does not have to be "everything is public, everything is shared," it's just not feasible in this day an age when so much individualism, self-vs-other, and: cut-throat competitive, dog-eat-dog survival-of-the-fittest, I'm gonna get mine selfishness so prevalent in the mindset of everyone brainwashed and/or living under late capitalism and trying to get by through any means necessary.
      PS: I love Marxist ideas, ideals, and ideology, but the dude was wrong about a few things, couldn't see coming what we have now. He definitely underestimated how much his (very well intentioned and actually quite moral and nice) theories would become corrupted by tyrannical/authoritarian/fascist dictators, used against people, and then create a negative image of his ideas to the point where any mention of them instantly sends up red flags to the indoctrinated masses after the "Red Scare" to the point where you can't even discuss his ideas with people who have never read them because they instantly think of Leninism/Stalinism/Maoism/Poohism instead... or even somehow Nazism because the word "Socialist" was corrupted by them as well.
      What we really need to be doing is critically analyzing what is hurting society (specifically people, also the planet), figuring out what isn't working right (some parts of everything, most parts of some things, and everything about certain things), and figure out which good aspects of different systems and ideas could be used to patch what we have. Also we need to start using other words like "collectivism" or "cooperativism" or "empathy" (lol) instead of antiquated terms that have lost their true meaning because of bad people.

    You know, something just occurred to me: Automation is going to end the need for "work" altogether, in the same way the industrial revolution eventually ended slavery. A world that has advanced automation _should be_ a world of abundance for everyone... So the problem with automation is actually cultural: We've always lived in a world of scarcity and this has ingrained in us the notion that we shouldn't constantly give valuable goods away without repayment of some sort. If we hold on to that notion, automation is going to be a curse. People will starve because they can't pay for food, despite the fact that robots will be producing literal mountains of it for free.

      These programs aren't just following everything we do. Once they have our patterns down then they start to strip them of fat. Time we spend not working using a bathroom, blinking, thinking, procrastinating (because c'mon we all do that, we are human), a complex algorithm will look at that and then it will cut it out just to see IF it will increase performance. Spoiler warning. It will test it, it will find it, and it will remove it.
      Btw: If you never had a job, good luck getting one that isn't flipping burgers, and good luck when they replace that.

    Here's a thought: The only reason we need jobs is because we need money to buy stuff. If automation comes to a point where we can produce things ridiculously cheap, would we still need to have jobs?
    My point is, the industrial revolution liberated a lot of minds to pursue art and other interesting things, what if the information revolution liberated us all just to enjoy life and do the things we are interested in just because we enjoy them? I know this may sound utopic right now, but that's probably how people thought about free time before the industrial revolution.

    Assuming every hour only 3 people worked on the video for a total of 900 hours, for every hour of work they got about..

    • @JakeN482
      @JakeN482 Před 4 lety +19

      @mrkiky
      It isn't just "at most", that is exactly the argument being made. There's been several economic theories for alternatives to job-focused capitalism, and most of them make an argument for the working class demanding more control over how production is handled. And yes, increasing pay wouldn't solve the issues inherent to work vanishing, but pushing for DemSoc policies with the goal of eventually implementing AnCom would ease the transition to a job-minimized society.

      Well I think money still makes sense. It's a shame that worker productivity has been growing steadily for a long time but wages have been stagnating since '75. It won't be long before we'll have to implement something like a basic income if automation keeps advancing at the exponential rate that it is. We still need some way of encouraging people to run society and I think money is much better because it's a positive incentive rather then have society be a command economy. Eventually with automation society won't need people running it to operate smoothly so then I think it would make more sense to abolish money. Even then though... I think money is good for rationing resources so one person can't say "I want a castle made of diamonds" or something like that and resource based bureaucracy would be needlessly complex I think.
