Hopefully we then still have the German laws against Scheinselbständigkeit (mock self employment). That’s one of the reasons why Uber is just another taxi company here.
Comment on It is like LLMs are massively overhyped and can't even do half the things its advertised...

“but in a gig style setup”
“I will only bring them back if we can do it in a way that treats them with as little dignity as possible”
The entire country and maybe world will be gig workers by 2060. They’ve finally figured out the cheat code. You “get to be your own boss”, they get to shed a ton of liability, pay you absolutely no benefits whatsoever, stop paying for workers comp, etc

Ah fuck, our universe is heading towards Elysium-esque. Never Fifth Element, never Star Trek, closer to Atlas Shrugged and Real Steel, but I really hoped it wouldn’t be this bleak

The fifth element future was pretty bleak was it not? Or am I not remembering the movie correctly? It seemed like a pretty authoritarian universe to me

The Fifth Element depicted a straight up utopia where gift wrapped Milla Jovoviches fall from the sky. I do not need any more than that.

You don’t like automated traffic violation tickets? Or a corporate head that operates like a cartoon villain while the government acts like they can’t do anything until the very end?
