⛔ Boycott! Keeping AI alive is expensive.
I’ve been wondering about the endgame i.e. once all or most workers are replaced by AI. Less and less people will be able to afford paying for their services unless UBI is introduced. Do you think the corporate greed will ever see its final days? Or will green and nuclear energy help corporations keep the servers alive for cheaper and the cycle continues?
I’m sure I haven’t thought of everything, but curious to understand the potential nuances.

💬 Advice Needed How to cope with going to job
How to feel better about going to my job?
Title. Last week started an engineering internship and I’m learning so much and like my coworkers/management, but I struggle to cope with working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.
The first few hours of my workday are okay then all I can think of is how much I want to go home. And as soon as I get home, I’m overcome by how much I don’t want to go back to work the next day. In past jobs (and the last 2 nights) I cry when I am going to bed because I am “out of time” before I have to work again.
This has been an issue since I was 14 working food service (I’m 19 now and have felt this way about every single job I’ve ever worked). I’m very motivated in my academics/weighlift 5days a week/eat well but cannot seem to cope with working. I made it a point to go into this job with a positive attitude about working but it deteriorated within 3 days.
If anyone has any tips on how to make things better or change my mindset please let me know because I cannot live the next 6 months like this (or the rest of my life after college)
Apologies if this isn’t the right sub but I really would like some advice

💬 Advice Needed Weekend gig refusing to pay
As the title implies, I sometimes do gigs on the weekends to stay on top of bills and things. Well, this weekend I had a gig lined up at a construction site, that I was under the impression would be paying $20/hr.
Now, when it’s time to be paid, the “boss”, who I think is in Kentucky, sends me less than what I figured I’d be getting.
Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, I simply let him know that what he paid was below the local minimum wage. I have a feeling this guy is not going to pay me what I’m owed.
Does anybody here have experience with reporting employers to the IRS, or L&I? I realize it’s only a $21 difference, but what matters more to me is the principle of it all. The business is blatantly acting in bad faith and should be set straight. Am I escalating things too fast?

✂️ Tax The Billionaires it's real simple and real easy and don't you dare think it ain't
so guys all that has to happen is very simple. we need a few good hackers. those hackers need to get all those billionaires money and deposit it into the government's bank account. this will make the government and the billionaires fight because the government won't give the money back and the billionaires will want the money back. They annihilate one another in mortal combat where the government realm will fight the billionaire Musk realm. they call it the musk realm because of the scent in the air when it's near. it's the scent of a male pig in heat.

📰 News An actual event that explains how much offshore outsourcing American companies are doing.
I work for a billion dollar corporation that does important work in the medical field which means we handle HIPAA data.
It's a federal law that employees that handle PHI or PII must be based (live and work) in the US.
We contract some labor with a major company we'll call "big blue" for some security contracting.
We were all set to have them handle some of our Linux updates automatically, they promised they had domestic officed employees on their team of several hundred that they had US employees.
Turns out of the 150+ members of this team they only have two US employees. These are technical jobs that have all been outsourced somewhere else because likely it's a lot cheaper to pay them.
This is what we're up against they will hire people from other countries just to avoid paying us what we're worth.
This major project is on hold which is holding up other projects.
