I loved that show.

"Your white guy does all that stuff for you?"

"Yeah. He's great."

"Can we trade white guys?"

Side splitting gags in the middle of a pretty solid message about how technology can systemicly abuse people.

"Apparently if we continued with our hiring plan, we would end up employing the sum total of humanity, and I guess doing that is illegal in some of the countries Viridian operates in, so they had to give in and actually fix the problem."

How is this different from what anybody who hires or employs people do?

Fun question.

  1. Most employees will someday no longer be day-one idiot employees. (conttasted with AI)
  2. Many managers take a class or something to know how to get results from their employees. (in contrast with many people given unlimited token allowances)
  3. Most employees are capable of a relationship and even loyalty, if any is merited. (in contrast with corporate AI API vendors who only want to extract wealth)

Washington is mentioned, but not with enough context to determine that Washington uses the cameras.

Which is weird, and other comments mention the whole article may be AI slop, rehashed from somewhere else. :(

Let's be sure to name and shame, for anyone who missed it: Georgia and Florida.

Company is - you guessed it - ~~Flock.~~ (Mention of Flock in the article has been removed with a correction.)

That's brilliant...and sick.

Apparently he makes bank.

Epic!

I honestly do not think it's even possible to spoil that film lol.

There are charts that try, at least.

That happened to my great-great-grandson. I'm not sure if he ever found his way back.
