We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas
“why do we still need pride” because some people are so homophobic that they’d rather forfeit a game than wear a rainbow jersey to show solidarity with a group that faces horrifying rates of discrimination and violence.
Yall wanted Nancy pelosi’s head on a spike. This is so blatantly right in front of our faces and there is nothing we can do about it. For the party that so consistently votes based on economy, taxes, etc. you turn a blind eye when the POTUS is stealing money from your fingertips
I’m sorry but if you’re under any impression that AI will uplift your ability to tell stories more than it negates your validity as a filmmaker I’m inclined to never pay attention to you ever again
“Transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely.” -Michael Knowles
This is the exact kind of rhetoric that leads to these kind of horrific murders. They don’t even view trans people as human. That’s why they feel comfortable stabbing a kid 40 fucking times…
“Bro I am so autistic I just have this really weird thing about US history”
Oh so now you are self diagnosing autism because you want to know what’s happened
In what world is anyone supposed to feel compassion for you instead of the workers earning unlivable wages? Begging for sympathy as a “small business owner” while you’re completely exploiting the labor of your employees
A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses.
I’ll explain for the economically illiterate.
Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add:
- 12.07% holiday
- Sick pay
- Maternity pay if and when required
- National insurance
- Pension contributions
These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up.
Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t.
Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics.
Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs.
There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay.
So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost.
Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes.
The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.
