‘Constantly monitored’: the pushback against AI surveillance at work

Showroom7561, 5 months ago

All this technology, and none of it is being used to help employees. It’s all being used as weapons to punish them.

And the worst thing is, punishing them won’t even lead to increased productivity so it is entirely pointless.

Because it’s not about productivity, it’s about obsessive control.

If it really was about productivity, most places would consider 4-day workweeks, flexible time-off, bathroom breaks without punishment, additional training and support to those who need it, a focus on work/life balance, and just basically treating workers like human beings and not robots.

Could be worse, like in China some has surveillance in the bathrooms, so the workers won’t slack off

The biggest threat from AI isn’t it going all Skynet on us, but how rich people will use it to the detriment of the rest of us.

I’d honestly prefer skynet. At least it’d be instant

Oh don’t you worry, we’ll probably get a nuclear war within the next few decades, it just won’t be caused by an evil AI

I’d honestly prefer skynet. At least it’d be instant we’d be able to fight back

Against the rich, we have no chance.
