This is just factually incorrect; they've done studies over multiple countries and work environments. I hate linking Forbes articles, but there's direct links to the studies. Sorry, but business didn't stop during COVID.

My employer pays me for labor already done, not for labor yet to come. Anybody making an hourly wage has it the same.

Nobody this article or the other commenter is taking about is paid up front, they're paid according to the labor they've delivered. If they were paid first then you could argue something is owed.

I find if you're not unequivocally pro union and everything they do on reddit you get downvoted.

I'm thinking of signing up for a union, and I asked some questions on reddit including some bad experiences some colleagues of mine had with unions to see if people thought it was worth it. I literally just got downvoted and accused of company shilling.

Yeah, I'm not paying to read that Atlantic article. But if anyone has trouble ponying up $20 a month (... giving up one latte a week, basically) for GPT-4, to be on the bleeding-edge of this new technology... you must not be very curious, or not in tech.

Anyway, even the free version is a revelation.

Do I think that I, as a member of the great unwashed, am somehow owed cos GPT scraped up information that's already been publicly available? Fuck no. ChatGPT already is a huge value-add for its ability to take common language queries, and its speed, and precision of the results.

Have there ever been studies pre-covid that investigate WFH and shorter work weeks?

Show your work (hint: yes, yes there are).

In general the labour is provided before payment. They owe you/us, not the other way around.

Between Teams and a Chrome tab you're out of memory.

We don't even understand it, but yeah, lets smother this baby in the crib. Sure.

I feel just the opposite. Hated Slack, love Teams. The biggest problems I've had with Teams tend to be user inflicted, particularly on the file side of things and permissions management.

I mean, filters on social media sites are essentially scanning your face and people do it every other second. As an aside, the other day I took a picture of my dog. I was looking through the photo and then happened to press my thumb down on my dog in the photo. It suddenly did a mini-pop out of my dog like picking a selection--apple contoured my dog to recognize that it's a dog in the picture. I'm reverting to my old camera, cause that is creepy af.

I’m visualising an on-screen companion AI smoking a Marlboro, drinking from a can of coke making chat with a user. If you pay full subscription fee you don’t get the ads……or they are less conspicuous!

Happening again right now with MS and Activision and they won't stop shit.

Corporations will be bigger than all of the governments one day if we allow this to continue, we already have enough trouble with them at their current sizes...

TBF, they're probably already tracking your face since it's owned by Amazon.

Even if the application is one sided? Which most are.

Probably nothing. Calling mass copying and distribution of copyrighted material "fair use" just because you bought a single book is a very tough sell, legally speaking.

It isn't archiving that's the problem, it's the distribution aspect. Calling it "archiving" is disingenuous, or, more accurately, a complete lie.

Wait until COVID is out of everyone's minds....have studies lasting more then a year, use companies that didn't use remote work....

There's so many ways....you're out of ideas because you didn't think once!

If they can't test correctly they shouldn't test at all, COVID hurts a lot of the control testing since people might just like working from home due to fear of COVID.

Pretty much. At least all the current hot ones.

Job applications are not contracts. https://www.justanswer.com/law/4ogzi-application-considered-contract.html

I live a 10 minute walk from my office and still go once every three weeks tops.

It's not the same though. You can't lend a digital book, you can only copy it. The actual electrons that represent the book in your memory drive are copied over every time you "lend it" so it is not quite the same as with the physical book.

When you buy a physical book, you're also not allowed to make copies of it

CEO’s are in reality salesmen for the business. There are actors playing a role and are often idiots.

We can agree that the law is bad but we then need to first change the law. We can't just break laws that we disagree with

Oh, the line is celebreties. People with money and influence. Gotcha. Not you or I. Our "betters". Just gonna go commission some deepfake porn of this guys mother and see how he feels then.

That may be possible in some countries but for the majority of the world, people have a choice.

There are currently approximately 400 million small businesses in the world. Though it’s difficult to know precisely how many small businesses there are worldwide right now, Global Naps estimates sit around 400 million, with new businesses joining every day.

Just in the US there were a record 10 million job openings.. The U.S. Has More Individually Owned Businesses than Corporations. Today, there are 1.7 million traditional C corporations, compared to 7.4 million partnerships and S corporations, and 23 million sole proprietorships.

People would rather complain than fix themselves.
