A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

you see, for programming, AI achieved what SQL tried to do with database queries: programming by just telling the computer what you want and the computer figures out the how.
the catch is that human language is imprecise, so if you don't know how to review what the AI produced, the AI might have written a script to wipe your data in the computer and you don't even know until you run it and it is too late
The other day it spit out a five line piece of code, except, critically, it had used "archived" where it should have used "received". Small word difference, huge functionality difference.
It absolutely does help, but we're gonna have a couple whole new classes of copy/paste errors.
Makes me wonder what an LLM trained in lojban would accomplish.
