  • They have a few options of what to do while treating workers fairly, even under the framework of capitalism

    • raise wages until workers are willing to work the nightshift permanently
    • raise prices till demand matches the output you are able to achieve while treating your workers fairly
    • increase production throughput by opening additional lines so supply you output matches demand
    • bring democracy into the workplace and let the workers decide if they want to work rotating shifts so the company can save money

    Fucking over your workers isn’t an acceptable option. As a society, we can’t accept people’s lives being made worse in the name of saving money.


  • The dude defending this practice seems like the kind of guy that argues that minimum wage is bad because some business would go out of business.

    Businesses that can’t function ethically shouldn’t stay in business. I don’t have much empathy for the business tyrants who punch with one hand while begging with the other



  • I don’t often actively root for tech to fail. Even if it’s something g dumb, it can pave the road for something down the road. However, I’m here for the failure of this because it’s been so nebulous.

    I don’t know how to explain it, but this kind of feels like when people were trying to make products where the main hook was blockchain and they seemed to have worked backwards from the tech to a product to the problem being the last thing considered.

    As far as I can tell, the only advantage this thing has that a smarter smart watch can provide is taking photos and videos. So maybe there is something there that is worth exploring. Who knows, maybe if apple or Google released this with robust integration and a reasonable price, maybe it could have some potential to have a use case. Maybe GoPro might want to explore the form factor? All that said, none of the things that I think have potential has nothing to do with AI which is what they think is feature #1.
