Oh good grief Jensen, just cut to the chase and call them "guilt-free slaves" already, your target audience already know exactly that you mean https://mastodon.online/@tomshardware/115850473965635484
Rooted resident of Wisconsin (purplest state in the USA) informing my worldview and just about every art object I've ever created. Even though my work finds its way into public and private collections, I still hear a lot of, "My 5 year old can do that." What can I say? Folkified Poprageousness! # Art # Music # FolkifiedPoprageousness # Wisconsin # USA

@cstross@wandering.shop all the stuff "we decided we don't want to do anymore." Meaning, they don't want to do themselves and don't want to pay others to do. The problem with "society" in general. Each pyramid built stretches higher than the last. Time is precious to everyone. You can't steal it from others without them getting pissed off about it. You can't rob the earth of its resources to cheat time without paying a price either. Unless everyone, all people, stop digging shit up out of the earth in order to gain the upper hand over those that don't, it's wash, rinse, repeat. So, let's build a workforce with other people's money, write it off as a capital expense, and charge people for the energy needed for them to "think". Great gig if you can get it, and as long as people keep letting them do it, they'll keep on doing it.
