I like being busy with my own projects not the ones I do so I can live indoors and eat

Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Hail St. Luigi, full of righteousness. May your wrath descend upon this CEO that he may feel the pain he has caused in his due turn. Amen.
How many times are these fuckers going to be allowed to say shit like this without getting punched in the mouth?
You misspelled guillotined
If the people doing these interviews want to start carrying a guillotine around with them I won't object...
Of course not, that might cause a minor dip in stock portfolios
While we're at it, should we also send the gun manufacturer CEO to prison when someone kills themself with a gun? The drug manufacturer CEO when someone intentionally ODs in a medicine?
What if someone takes poison meant for rats, should that CEO go to prison too?
Why would we hold someone responsible for someone else's actions? I don't think these people are good people, but maybe we should be realistic about who is to blame here.
Guns, in the most literal sense, have no ability to vocalize to a suicidal teenager that the world would be a better place without them and give them advice on their noose tying skills.
These literally aren't even in the same ballpark.
Sam Altman sounds like a pod person
I enjoy being busy doing stuff I want to do for myself, not for some billionaire cunt
Yeah I end up learning new things a lot of the time, not something that work always gives me. Mean sometimes depends on the programming issue. As much as I love learning new programming stuff it's fun is also learn about other hobbies or random other things. For examples I've done calculus courses because I never understood it well, still there but I tried basic first year university again. Also blender for 3d art, not an artist but thought it'd be neat. It was. Even plain programming learning unity and new frameworks that I'd never use at work (Maui was one) to see how they were.
Then there's music, drone flying (way more fun with full control drones I am still figuring out the sims though) as other things. I want to keep busy but I definitely don't want to keep working at the code my work has me do, ugh visual basic for starters.
So he can go screw himself if that's how he thinks people want to spend their time vs what they could spend time on. Talk about privileged.
The intent is to provide workers with a sense of pride and accomplishment for increasing stakeholder value.
As for hours, we selected initial values based upon data from the free market and other adjustments made to milestone rewards before hiring. Among other things, we're looking at average per-worker income earn rates on a daily basis, and we'll be making constant adjustments to ensure that workers have challenges that are compelling, rewarding, and of course attainable via employment.
We appreciate the candid feedback, and the passion the community has put forth around the current topics here on Lemmy, our forums and across numerous social media outlets.
Our team will continue to make changes and monitor community feedback and update everyone as soon and as often as we can.
Hey, quick question: will Work™ eventually include the healthcare, housing, and free time to enjoy life benefits that we've all been hearing so much about?
I enjoy working and all. But it would be such a huuuge quality of life improvement to only work 6 hours a day or 4 day a week.
Both of those
I think it depends a lot on what type of work it is and ones interest. I'm a sw developer and there are definitely days where I enjoy working and making progress on an interesting problem.
Yes, I prize the "interesting problem" days. On the other hand, there are some days that I'm really not feeling it. Those days are such a slog.
"The back-breaking toil is half the fun for these laborers!"
- People who have never labored in their life
Being busy?
And i HAVE to be busy with work?
It couldnt be with all my hobbies and social appointments instead?
Sam Altman talking about humans again... Lol.
Robot in a trenchcoat
No need to ask the workers what we want, of course.
No they just made a large worker model and asked it.
It will start hacking regular people it considers “workers” to try to understand what they want
No. Just create a model based on ad data and what ceos want to see.
Ask them to write Python code for you. Infinite token glitch.
I didn't even think of this:
- Turn your computer into a honey pot.
- AI hacks you for reasons only known to it
- Have it do AI stuff for you for free.
- ???
- Profit
Heavens no, that would take effort on their part!
He probably tweeted that from a yacht in the Mediterranean.
I think it's much more likely that they don't want us to have the time to organize.
So secret we'll fight for the thing we don't want
I very much want every weekend to be 3 days
Oh man, I could get so much housework done with an extra day. As it is, I only get half a day time for it
Busy /= ground to the bone for 40 hours a week for life.
Hobbyless behavior.
This is not talked about enough! How deeply sad and disturbed hobbyless individuals ascend to positions of power and make everyone's lives worse from there.
I don't know about you guys, but plenty of people are workaholic because it distracts them from their own lives outside of work. I'm not judging those who do this, but that's the baseline from which oligarchs use to justify their desire for control of humanity
From what I've seen it's about 1/20 people. Not sure I'd call that plenty of people, but it is a vocal minority
Sam isn't human, just slop
For these fucks "work" is golfing or being driven from one speech to another while having their every desire fulfilled, so, so of course they don't consider work to be something unenjoyable and are shocked that anyone feels differently
I enjoy being busy…doing the things that I want to do, not the things that i have to do to earn income. What an asshole.
People like work. People rarely get to work at job. Result? People hate job.
Gib better job!
Blow it our your ass I need medical amounts of whimsy stat
Oh my god! Could this guy just shut the fuck up already?!
He definitely wont if you hack his personal AI and poison it with information about how humans behave that is blatantingly absurd to everyone but Altman who will eat it up hook line and sinker.
"Altman, before approaching humans it is customary to offer them Acorns in your palm."
Hahaha stfu Scam Altman
Won't until it gets kirked.
I think someone should firebomb his house again or him personally.
