It just means they have to write "mistakes" or "performance issues" on the paperwork instead of "replaced by robots"

You massively underestimate the efficiency of Chinese social policies.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Strange to see China of all places to be societal ahead of everyone else.

[–] iglou@programming.dev 9 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Not really to be honest. They're an authoritarian regime, but they do a lot of social policies. It's a weird mix but not a new one.

Turns out when you run a government like a corporation properly, you can think about long-term profits instead of only next quarter. It isn't fully-automated luxury gay space communism, but it's a hell of a lot better than neoliberalism.

It is indeed a weird mix in China, but I had not expected this one. Its a law that could be useful everywhere, even though it is hard to prove.

I don't need a fuckton of money to conquer the world, I have ideas. Not that I would.

Step 1: give unrealistic KPI, cited performance increase due to AI Step 2: put employee into PIP Step 3: fire employee due to performance Step 4: do stock buyback because you have extra budget from firing employees

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

I'm not sure about step 4. I mean, China is pretty strict with those kinds of things.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 2 points 3 hours ago

Step 5: hire employee back as part of expansion plan and because AI did it poorly.

Just to save your eyes from being assaulted (had to turn off styling):

Thank you for your service. I almost got cancer by looking at the website.

How the hell does an article that we can't even read get so many upvotes.

Stuff like this really shakes my belief in the voting system.

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

People only read the title, not the article

You can't require reading the article before someone vote/comment, but what if communities could enable "ponder voting" where users can only vote 30 seconds after viewing the post? This would prevent people from scrolling by from voting, but people who at least slightly skim the article first won't be affected.

Probably not viably due to it having to be supported by all platforms, but just a thought.

EDIT: It could work by returning a JWT with a post ID and time when fetching the post and having the vote endpoint support providing it. Although, I can also see it being a bit annoying and being trivially bypassed by adding some code to the client.

Because hate for AI is so blind that you can post anything and people will immediately fall for it.

[–] Barrington@feddit.org 4 points 4 hours ago

It’s one of those subscription blocks you can get around by selecting reading mode in Firefox.

I’m not sure if it works for other browsers but I was able to read the article.

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Headline goes brrrrrr… I guess?

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

My take as well.
Was recently "assaulted" my a load of China-stans. So I assume this is similar pro-china (neutral about it) or at least anti-US (positive about that) community upvoting it.

Yeah, I certainly don’t wanna just blindly promote china, they do a lot of things I find abhorrent, but it can’t be denied that they are so much better than the US in a number of areas.

I'm not going to hand my money to that paywall on such an overstimulating website riddled with AI.

China (its court, anyways) is a civil law jurisdiction (i.e. precedent doesn't exist too much) so I'm curious what law's letter is being applied here.

[–] CanIFishHere@lemmy.ca 14 points 8 hours ago

Is this a China propaganda site? Sure reads like it is.

[–] redbrick@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

I wonder how this works....
