China hat Unternehmen KI-basierte Entlassungen verboten. Sollte Kanada folgen?

How? No, seriously, how do we do that without shattering market confidence. I’m afraid the only answer is to let this new fad run it’s course and let the bubble pop.

LOL – how do you police that? Most „AI-based“ layoffs are simply using AI as an excuse so they don’t have to admit the company is going down the toilet. Make it illegal and companies will simply find another excuse to give the news feeds.

We should but we won’t.

These guys won’t even ban surveillance pricing.

Hangzhou court is basically where the homebase of Alibaba is, so this is a significant court decision.

We should. There is short term and long terms costs, the latter is often ignored at great cost to nation and humanity.

There is an inherent flaw with AI, a serious one people with dollar signs for eyes won’t address. Replacing humans with AI puts a ceiling on long term innovation and removes important development positions and mechanisms that allow humans to become top innovators. Pressuring workers to produce quickly with AI has similar negative development effect.

You cannot simply turn on a switch, development of the skills to reach those high levels take a lot of time. By the time short term thinking leaders see it, China will be far ahead with highly skilled innovators. Same with manufacturing, we fell behind because our leaders are too short sighted.

>There’s so many potential people that could be caught up in this that the risk of civil unrest, the risk of regime overthrow, is probably much more paramount to them than concern for the actual worker itself,” he said.
In Canada, we’re a democracy and we’re not necessarily worried about regime overthrow in the same way, other than through the ballot box.

Translation: even CPC with guns, tanks and labour camps is afraid of their people and is trying not to fuck them too hard. Not in Canada though, Canadians are so docile, there is zero risk for the government, they can starve and wait patiently for the next election, just to see their MPs immediately getting bought and sold.

I’m not a fan of banning companies to make decisions they feel are necessary. But „AI layoffs“ aren’t really a thing, there hasn’t been enough time to integrate AI to the level of the layoffs we’re seeing. Companies wanted an excuse to lay people off and it looks a lot better to investors to say AI made us so efficient rather than saying we hired too many people.

China is investing in solar, passing laws, and doing everything that American propagandists say is the wrong thing to do because America is loudly announcing its weaknesses.

All these Backwoods yocals crying about seed oil for instance. China reduced Canada’s terrifs on canola oil 15% and suddenly 4 billion in exports are more accessible.

The US has the stupidest idea on negotiating. It’s like being a fucking dick to me and then ordering me not to make them repeat themselves… well shit asshole if it’s going to make you crazy I’m definitely going to ask you to repeat yourself a million fucking times idiot

No, focus on UBI

That is a waste of time, there will always be loopholes to get around it. Even if they did make a point of doing a proper law with no loopholes, companies will just buy a politician or two and make some.

What would stop these companies from eventually completely shutting down their operations and moving it to a country where that’s allowed? Because eventually these sectors will operate more on ai rather than needing actual human workers
