None of this changes the facts of the comment you're responding to. Every business must extract surplus value from their employee's work to be profitable. Nobody said every business has to be miserable, or not mask this extraction in fluffy terms. Doesn't mean it isn't happening though

I go back and forth on this. I'm generally opposed, but I also think that if we have a death penalty it shouldn't be so bloodless. It should be a beheading that the governor of the state has to do themselves. We shouldn't be able to pretend we aren't doing something incredibly violent

An approach for this might be to just attempt to trigger guardrails at all opportunities.

Make writing "regular" code involve racial slurs, societal taboos, talk about committing crimes and making bioweapons etc. I think this approach is more likely to work but man would it be hard to explain to people

This doesn't work anymore give it up man

So many words devoted to tone policing. so few words devoted to the actual issue being discussed

>but to summarize, this is going to do millions of dollars of economic and political damage, and contributes to social upheaval

millions of dollars of economic damage sure, it doesn't contribute to social upheaval. It's a one time pain in the ass, this seems pretty hysterical tbh

Weren't japanese cars basically better than american ones from the jump?
