  • For sure there are plenty of people that don’t produce any real value in their work, but that’s been the case since forever and they’re hard to weed out because in some ways their full time job is to ensure their ongoing employment.

    As in most things, it’s a question of extent.

    The most accurate statement you can make is that AI will make “most” office employees “more” efficient.

    The thing is, this has been happening with every technological advance for hundreds of years.




  • Yeah that’s not really how lemmy or any anonymous platform works really.

    If you espouse a position that others disagree with they will tell you.

    If your position is ridiculous then you will be ridiculed.

    Personally, I find Lemmy to be a lot less respectful in this way than other platforms. As I said in my earlier comment any opinion that is less than absolutely supportive of the common opinions is heavily ostracized.

    A good example would be the situation with Luigi Mangioni. The vast majority of users want mangioni to walk free, and as a result there’s blind support for “jury nullification”. This is obviously a complex issue with legal, social, and historic ramifications, but any opinions other than breathless support for jury nullification in his case will be heavily ostracized.


  • Yeah so you’ll generally find lemmy users to be quite hostile to your political position. I’m grown up enough not to be “hostile” but to be frank I think your voting choices are very poorly considered.

    To your broader question. Lemmy is just like any other platform. If you say silly things people will rebut you. There is no respect for contrary opinions.

    I’ve found that lemmy communities tend to be very homogeneous and in many threads if you offer any insights which are not breathless support you’ll be heavily downvoted and get vitriolic responses, or banned.

    For example, saying anything critical of China in a .ml thread will result in a ban.
