@parismarx what could go wrong..

@parismarx

Isn’t this the pilot episode of Futurama??

@parismarx I do not think that will end how you think that will end.

@parismarx

"what could possibly go wrong", amirite?

@parismarx Christ. I didn't think the UK's DWP would be outdone

@parismarx

Good thing they are saving Italy from the scourge of communism and socialism! 💩

@parismarx Wasn’t this what right-wingers said would happen if communism won?

(That question was rhetorical. This is exactly what I heard throughout my youth in the 1980s.)

@parismarx All of the far-right people in my parts are all screaming from the rooftops about how AI is going to enslave us (not so much in the SV sci-fi marketing sense, but referencing things like social credit score). Wonder what they think of this plan that's literally the plot from Season 3 of Westworld.

@parismarx can't wait to hear the altmans of the worlds' "now i know this LOOKS fascist, but..." responses
["but, this is actually how we get UBI?", i can imagine them saying]

@parismarx

"A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision"

@parismarx What could go wrong?

No wait! They actually know about algoritmic bias.. 🥶

@parismarx
After "The Simpsons predicted everything" we have now "Futurama predicted everything"! 🤣

@parismarx As we all learned from #futurama it'll totally work.

@parismarx
Fascism 💩💩💩

@parismarx aka the plot of the dystopian YA novel, The Giver

@parismarx are they going to game the jobs allocation.

@parismarx
Sounds like UK Labour Party

@parismarx

Ah yes, the Torment Nexus, from the popular dystopian YA novel, "Escape the Torment Nexus!"

@parismarx How weird is it that even pulp dystopian sci-fi was more nuanced than this?

@parismarx country collapse speedrun any%

@parismarx yeah, that's not fascism at all.

It's neofascism.

Holy shit.

@parismarx The problem isn't the AI, it's the workfare / benefits sanctions principle behind it. Which, sadly, are already here in many countries including the UK, and have been for many years. Politicians believe (falsely) that cruelty to benefit claimants, which in practice reduces their chances of getting a good sustainable job, is a vote winner.

@parismarx That is... insane.

@parismarx

Nazis always shill for the "Work Sets You Free" lie.

Arbeit Macht Frei was always a lie.

@parismarx So, genocide.

@parismarx sounds like habing to go to school foreverrrr

@parismarx Ugh. My great-great grandfather who escaped Italy because of fascism and became an indentured servant in New Orleans because that was better, because he was an incredibly devout Catholic would be tossing in his grave. I suspect "the italian" side of the cemetery in Natchez, MS is a bit restless.

@parismarx what the everlasting fuck!?

@parismarx :chick_fire_surprise:

@parismarx - their dear leaders die such crappy deaths.. anyhow..

hey check this out #nazis #nazi #antifa #antifascist #greens #blacks #blues and no pews. . .

@parismarx

No wonder Biden wants to lick her scalp.

@parismarx "... And that's why I'm a shoe consultant at Pizza Express."

@parismarx @danmcquillan this exemplifies how "AI" is intrinsically a tool that will serve the worst agendas

@parismarx
Eine sozialistische Planwirtschaft?! Eine zweite DDR brauchen wir auch nicht mehr.

@parismarx heinous proposal aside, I am certain that these people would not be able to put together anything even minimally functioning

@parismarx

“This kind of algorithmic solution to unemployment shows a continuum between far-right politicians in Italy, politicians in Poland and center-right politicians like #Macron,” says Casilli.

@parismarx it’s funny how often this shows up as a trope in otherwise obviously very left wing and often quite hopeful science fiction. Although, usually without the aggressively coercive part.

@parismarx

Italian here: this proposal was so unpopular among citizens that it didn’t even make a public discourse. Everyone was just against it.

@parismarx the funniest part is that they could employ a lot of people to do it if they don't use AI, but we all know it isn't really about giving people work/options here

@parismarx the use of HE/HIM is just as frightening

@parismarx “The privileged are processed by people, the poor are processed by algorithms” - Cathy O’Neil Weapons of Math Destruction

@parismarx Well, I didn't expect the #enshittification of the original fascists.

("neofascist" is a distraction)

@parismarx Benefits? They scrapped those in favour of a shameful handout.

@parismarx It's futurama...

@parismarx @FeralRobots What does “loss of all benefits” mean? The article didn’t discuss this. Does that mean something like free healthcare, unemployment benefits, and/or UBI? Or does it mean something else? I don’t dispute the rest of the article - it’s a decent quick overview of the tech sector’s fascist tendencies - but not sure demanding unemployed youth work a job to receive benefits is unique to fascists. Is that why the authors skipped over the benefits?

@parismarx We're already living in a dystopian hellhole.

@parismarx how is that not slavery?

@parismarx "you will become a nuclear powerplant supervisor!" "d-do i even have the qualific-" "DO NOT RESIST! You will become a nuclear powerplant supervisor!"

@parismarx

#tech #ai #italy #government [insert the meme about the bus driver, the sign, and the fact that ai not being accountable, it can't be used in place where decision have to be made]

But yes, I know it's by design. Extrem right loves simple, false and dangerous solutions to complexe social problem

@parismarx What an absolutely terrible idea. The we don't want immigrants so we'll enslave your children law.

@parismarx

This is so dystopian. Unbelievable.

@parismarx "Sorting hat"

@parismarx@mastodon.online I'm sorry in what world is this ever a good idea have these people even seen what "AI" actually does?

@parismarx What could go wrong huh?

@parismarx always the ones that are all about that "law and order" that always refuse to adhear to the law

@afouxenidis θέλω να γνωρίζω σε τι αδιεξοδο βρίσκονται αυτή την στιγμή τυχόν ικανές αριστερές δυνάμεις για να απαντήσουν και να αντιμετωπίσουν τις πολιτικές της άκρα δεξιάς και του νεοφιλελευθερισμού. Μήπως η άκρα δεξιά/νεοφιλελευθερισμός προτάσσει τέτοια narratives γνωρίζοντας ότι έτσι ακινητοποιεί πολιτικά την τυχόν υπαρκτή αριστερά?
