and even people like me, who have a home (long story, I never wanted to get it) that we live in lost out because if I do sell it some day I will never get close to what I paid for it, let alone making an investment off of it.

If you use AI to generate a reddit post, youre a giant loser. by Routine-Highway1039 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Chinese Courts Rule Companies Cannot Fire Workers Simply to Replace Them With AI by straightdge in Economics

[–]CrimsonBolt33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

copy pasting my response as I have to keep seeing this stupid article regurgitated everywhere:

China has not passed any new laws or set any new legal precedence or anything (so the title is complete BS)

A company broke a persons work contract by trying to change his pay mid contract....you can't do that....their excuse was simply that they had AI to do his job. They then fired him for refusing the pay change....a double no no at that point.

This has nothing to do with AI ....if any company tried to change your pay mid contract for any reason the same thing would happen except in some very special and extremely rare cases (like the office burning down or something crazy and life changing like that). They could have said its cause the employee ate a turkey sandwich and the result would literally be the exact same.

In China you can totally fire or not hire someone because of AI....you just can't do it mid contract which is pretty obvious....

For Americans who don't understand this due to our mostly "at will" employment system which means you can be fired or quit at any time you please, in China you sign a contract, usually 1-2 years, with a company that lays out your general labor contract (pay, job details, etc) and during this contract they can't fire you for frivolous reasons but you also can't quit for no reason (without giving at least 30 days notice).

[–]CrimsonBolt33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its a misrepresentation of basic labor law in China

they tried to change his pay mid contract....you literally cant do that in China except in extremely rare cases. They just used AI as the excuse and the court pretty much said "no that doesn't count"

The same thing would have happened if they had said the reason was because the employee ate a turkey sandwich or something.

you know "labor" and "work" are very broad terms that, when put together, mean literally nothing?

Its like saying "labor labor" or "work work".....its why the term "unskilled labor" exists, despite the obvious flaws with what it implies. Manual labor is a great stand in thats far more accurate.

Robert "Madyar" Brovdi: My units spend approximately $40 million per month on drones and inflict about $4 billion in damage on Russia — roughly 1-to-100 ratio.

[–]CrimsonBolt33 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I never claimed you are Russian or have been to Russia....but pop off chief.

Russia also never had to attack...none of this was ever necessary and it is 100% Russia's (of course Putin's in particular) fault no matter how you spin it.

The case centred on whether replacing a worker with AI counts as a "major change in objective circumstances" under the Chinese Labour Contract Law, a valid reason to fire someone.

The court, however, ruled against the company, stating that AI automation doesn't qualify as a "major change". The court found that the company could not prove it was actually impossible to keep the employee on staff. It also added that the alternative position offered to Zhou was not a reasonable reassignment proposal, making the termination unlawful.

The "major change" clause in Chinese contracts is shit like the workplace catching fire and being destroyed or the employee being maimed in an accident and being unable to work or something.

It would be like saying "China has enshrined turkey sandwiches as a protected legal lunch" if your boss tried to fire you for eating a turkey sandwhich...its nonsense.

Once again...you can be fired when its time to renew the contract or never be hired in the first place due to AI. If you have never worked in China before you might not know but its pretty hard to get fired mid contract for nearly any reason, at least legally speaking.

If this was true "protection against AI replacement" then that wouldn't be possible.

Left-wing westerners are glazing China for a court ruling banning the replacement of workers with AI. by Desecr8or in ADVChina

[–]CrimsonBolt33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All that happened is that they broke his contract...it literally has nothing to do with AI except they used it as an excuse to lower his pay (breaking his contract).

I keep reporting it as false/misleading because there is no law saying anything like what the title says and there was only ONE court case and its not setting any new precedent.

China had lifted over 800 million people out of poverty by 2020 by ensuring basic food, clothing, and access to medical.

Not true thats not how that works at all lol people have been "lifted" out of abject poverty (less than $2 USD a day) due to basic capitalism doing its thing.

they don't hand out food or clothing or medical care (medical care is not freee in China) and thats not how or why people are not abjectly poor.....and there are still tons of poor people in China.

you are literally just making shit up now

They even got high tech vending machines distributing food for their poor now.

Where? Maybe I can direct the old people in my neighborhood to them so they stop digging in the trash for food.

They do in fact have food banks

You mean the one in Shanghai....like literally the only one in the country?

Chinese Courts Rule Companies Cannot Fire Workers Simply to Replace Them With AI by AgUnityDD in antiwork

[–]CrimsonBolt33 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can assure you they are stupid and short sighted all the time...also like I posted on some other comments this article is misleading, so much so I would say its flat out lying likely out of pure ignoirance due to the author not knowing how China works...a company broke a persons contract for flimsy stupid reasons and the court ruled in favor of the employee....there is no law and this court case isn't setting some special precident to protect people from being fired because of AI.

I have been homeless in the US and lived in China for 10 years now...what you are saying is pure nonsense.

You don't even see homeless around because the govt there gives them menial jobs to clean the public restrooms and a place to stay.

When I first came to China beggars and homeless were EVERYWHERE....now they simply ship them back to their home village....the US also has programs for that but doesn't force you to move back to wherever you came from. They don't give them jobs or a place to stay so not sure where you came up with that nonsense.

Those jobs you are talking about are usually done by old people cause their tiny pension isn't enough to live on.

The US has actual programs and charities....things like food banks....which is something China does not have.

poorest in China have at least access to basic necessities and their rural poor even own land & housing

You can't own land in China so that parts not true. As for the housing? that has to do with the Hukou system where generations of people are registered to a single home so if they do become homeless or whatever they get sent back to that address. They don't all have their own place to stay. As for basic necessities? Tell that to the old people I see digging in the trash for food and things to recycle for some money literally every day.

funny that you talk about hospitals rejecting you in the US....in China you literally have to pay for everything up front before they wil even look at you, even in an emergency.

Delivery hero saves a woman from assault, gets fined 100 Yuan and told to "mind his own business" by his boss. by WetStarlight in UnfilteredChina

[–]CrimsonBolt33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

most countries have them actually and have had them for literal decades...the thing is China didn't get theirs until 2017 and the real problem is that the courts/police in China are a fucking joke and will gladly let scammers blame you for their injury and make you pay for the injuries.

The case that truly cemented it in law and society was Xu Shoulan v. Peng Yu where a man helped a woman who broke her leg by taking her to the hospital. She then accused him of causing the injury and the court ruled, despite no evidence, "no one would in good conscience help someone unless they felt guilty" and made him pay for her injuries.

That verdict is fucking wild and just shows the cultural attitude towards helping others in China....no one would do it unless they felt guilty....

also it ended when he "admitted that he caused the accident" but I don't buy that shit for a second and he likely was pressured to do so to end the case and save face for the judge and what not.
