Again I am talking about automated ports not Amazon sorting facilities, please look into how automated ports work, in fully automated ports there are less workers working directly with machinery than in a standard port. You'll need to provide sources that automated ports are not safer or more efficient. The transportation and movement occupation has the highest number of fatal injuries in my state, not only can it be fatal but it also takes a toll physically as well, we should be helping these workers and automation can help do that.

Automated ports do not work that way, where employees interact directly with a robot. Instead employees stay at a desk and minimal employees are on the ground. Like I had mentioned, automated ports are safer.

Yes, I work in supply chain. Being a dock worker is a tough grueling job, wouldn't we want to automate that as much as possible? Besides cost, automated ports are both safer and more efficient. I think the ideal scenario would be to grant some sort of retraining.

I'm not sure how I feel about the no automation clause.

I found the idea interesting, just something to think about as these platforms continue to develop.

With Google's recent monopoly status being a topic a discussion recently. This article from 2017 argues that we should nationalize these platforms in the age of platform capitalism. Ahead of its time, in fact the author predicted the downfall of Ello.

The user with an AI copyright notice on every one of their posts is one of my favorite "gimmicks".

Reddit search has always been quite poor, at least for me. Not sure how AI is going to improve that haha

The first time I saw this term used was on twitter, from a somewhat funny twitter troll.

I've posted about this last year. However, during this time they've managed to keep it up and have risen their salaries. The article is an interesting read that goes about their reasoning for paying everyone the same salary.

It's quite rare to see a company pay every employee the same salary, even rarer to have salaries this high. Very interested in how long they'll be able to keep this up.
