Is this a joke? You can’t see the guy’s face and his crack is exposed for the world to see. You expose that to the public, and this is fair game. Wouldn’t make a difference if it were a woman.

I personally don’t like KBin’s UI. It’s an immediate turn-off for me. Text too small, vote buttons look weird. Also I just loaded the homepage and the top posts are “🤔🤔🤔”, “ich🚗iel”, “Every time I leave or enter the house”, and a generic meme. No thanks, there’s enough trash like that already on the Reddit homepage.

I’m building my own Reddit alternative zsync.xyz. I’ll open source it in a week. Hoping to federate it one day and make it into a pcmag article. I def respect the Lemmy dev(s). To an outsider a Reddit clone might look trivial to build but it’s actually a ton of work, and of course an enormous chicken & egg problem to overcome to actually get any users.

It’s not just Gen Z, everyone’s jobs are at risk as AI improves and automates away human labor. People who think that with exponential rate of progress of AI there will continue to be an abundance of good jobs are completely delusional. Companies hire people out of necessity, not some goodness of the heart. If machines can do everything humans can do and better, then companies will hire less people and outsource to machines. Sure there will be people working on the bleeding edge of what AI isn’t yet capable of, but that’s a bar that’s only going to get higher and higher as the performance advantage gap of humans over machines reduces.

Of course none of this would be an issue if we had an economic system that aligned technological progress with improved quality of life and human freedom, but instead we cling on to antiquated systems of the past that just disproportionately accrue wealth to a dwindling minority while leaving the rest of civilization at their mercy. Anyone with any brain or sense of integrity realizes how absurd this is, and it’s been obvious we need a Universal Basic Income for a long time. The hope I have is that Andrew Yang explained it eloquently 4 years ago and it resonated way stronger than I expected with the American population, so I think in a few years when AI is starting to automate any job where one doesn’t need a 160 IQ, people will see the writing on the wall and there will finally be the political capital to implement a UBI.
