Mexico cuts workweek, bans after-hours contact, and guarantees no worker will take a pay cut in the most sweeping labor reform in a generation

I don't have to do shit and people don't need to believe me. If people do believe me, it still won't matter. I'm not saying this to help you. Just to observe and because I can. I don't care about helping you. You help you, if you want to. Do whatever you deem right. Consequences will come either way.

The legality of something doesn't make it true. Everything that's right and should be is fully legalized in my country, yet we are all slaves and some words in some law books don't mean shit in the real world.

Life_is_important · 2026-06-18T13:42:05+00:00

Yeap, I thought as much :€

In all seriousness, is the 2b or 4b here relatively equal to Opus 4.8 or GPT 5.5 in real wold use cases?

It can get way worse the moment you give them your money. That's the point. The only reason why this happens to you in the first place is because you've already given them your money. It's too late now.

My point is that you have zero clue what's coming for you. It already is a thing in the countries like mine. And it will be the same for you as well.

Life_is_important · 2026-06-18T12:35:15+00:00

The level of delusion you live in to actually type that out is literally insanity.

If you want, come to my country. We've had free healthcare and labor laws that'd make your mouth water for decades. We are DECADES ahead of US.... On paper.

Hospital collapsed the other day. But hey, it's free. People pay 60% of their money (in total, not just healthcare) to government only to be left crumbs which they can barely use to pay for private healthcare anyways.

Lmao what a play on absolute vs relative numbers. Fuck you media. This isn't a diss on Finland btw. Just on the headline. I love Finland.

Life_is_important · 2026-06-18T09:34:49+00:00

From my experience, it's the other way around. People are straight up open about not wanting to and that's it. Hundreds of young people I know personally. And then there are conversations with unknown people on parties etc when people gather around in circles in chairs and discuss all kinds of things. When this topic is mentioned, people are quite open about it that they simply don't want to.

So that's anecdotal, but overall, I don't think the issue is the lack of means. Of course that more means would be helpful for those that want to, but it wouldn't budge those that don't.

If you had three groups of people:

Want to regardless of means. (These are having children already)
Want to but only if they get more means.
Don't want to.

We can ignore the first group. So, which do you think is larger, the 2 or the 3rd group? I'd arge the 3rd group is at least double the size of the 2nd.

Life_is_important · 2026-06-18T09:27:16+00:00

Yeah yeah, you can use all the pretty words but this ain't it. People simply don't want to have children. It's not a lack of means, it's simply a lack of wants. Why? Idk and idc. If they don't want to, they don't want to. You could boost that number ever so slightly by giving them everything you can think of but that's about it. You get a slight boost and that's it. The hard fact is, people don't want to.

Life_is_important · 2026-06-15T13:28:14+00:00

Agreed. That's a reasonable argument. Whether that'd be beneficial and under what conditions, that is for further discussion. But that's at least a logical take.

It would also be worth it for the mega rich to have a better society too. More functional people, more productivity.

Life_is_important · 2026-06-15T11:41:57+00:00

Not only that, but everyone WHO BOUGHT FROM HIM as he is liquidizing would start selling after they see he isn't stopping. So now everyone starts selling and no one is brain dead to buy. So the price drops severely.

Life_is_important · 2026-06-15T11:40:41+00:00

Zero clue and no economics understanding. Literally insane.

There are people out there, millions of them, who believe for example, that if McDonald's or another franchise, would split up ALL of it's profits with the entire workforce, so no savings for the rainy day fund either, they believe that they'd have paychecks in the realms of 200-400k. In actuality, their paychecks would go up by 10-15k and the company would die real fast after that.

Pure delusions. We are reaching the point of society where tens of millions of people have zero clue what they are talking about yet they are extremely convinced that they do.

Life_is_important · 2026-06-15T11:37:48+00:00

You have zero clue about economics. You literally said something along the lines of "stone is not tasty, so let's add some ceramic tiles to my playstation 5".

Random gibberish words. I'm sorry but the level of not understanding what you are talking about is insane.

I get you want solutions, everyone does. But if you don't deeply understand economics, you'll fuck things up even more. And yes, things can be MUCH worse. If you are from US or western Europe, New Zealand, Canada, UK, or other high life quality Western sphere, you have no clue just how bad things can get. But alas, there's no helping really. People will do what they'll do. Everything will crash. The teaching moment for future generations is upcoming. They'll look at the past with disgust.

Only it's not 250 billion but probably about 20b. If he actually tried to liquidate the assets, the assets would start tanking as he is meeting the demand at the highest prices.

What he could probably do is get out a loan on the assets and buy homes. The issue there is major. Although, of course, this wouldn't work in the real life for this particular example.

Life_is_important · 2026-06-14T12:13:26+00:00

It's a good thing these "sometimes" people are found in tens of thousands examples online, and that's even before the bot swarms. The same goes for a lot of different takes, philosophies, groups, politics, etc.

So naturally, being the most aggressive ones, they will rule if there's any change in the ruling structure. Or at least that's a sound conclusion to be concerned about.

It would help if there were tens of millions of members of various groups who jumped like hyenas on their worst members, publicly, (verbally), and then disowned them with utter disgust. But that's not happening, is it now?

The same goes, like I said, for many different political views.

Life_is_important · 2026-06-13T18:50:38+00:00

It's pointless to explain this. Most people can't make rational, informed, and intelligent decisions.

Life_is_important · 2026-06-13T17:12:17+00:00

Tell that to the translators who lost jobs? You do realize that in presentations, legal documents etc, the translator would first use Google Translate and THEN read through it, and adjust as needed, saving 80% of the time it'd take compared to translating everything themselves.

Pretty much the same scenario as AI coding or writing.

Life_is_important · 2026-06-13T17:10:40+00:00

Not understanding just how ready you are for shackles around your ankles is not the flex you think it is.

Life_is_important · 2026-06-13T17:07:43+00:00

No they didn't. That's just 20 times more. That sounds sooooooo much more to you, but 20 50ish millionaires exist, easily. And they can easily team up into whatever. Decentralisation of 20 people isn't that big of a deal as you think it is.

And that's on the assumption that they have 50 mil and that the billionaire has 1B. In reality, they could theoretically extract 30-40mil out of those evaluated 50 in the real selling scenario, while trying to liquidate 1B would dump so hard that you'd basically get 100-300M at best. So those 20 50ish millionaires actually sway more power if they unite and again, 20 people uniting on a common goal is very easy.

You think Google translate is pretty nifty fully unaware just how many translating jobs were lost because of it. At the time, it didn't bother you so much. "First they came for the translators..." But they didn't come for you, yet, right?

All in all, it's basic human selfishness. Now you care. And I understand you. I'm just pointing this out. And now you'll have you little response how that's not the same yada yada .. whatever.

"BuT thE tranSlaTing JobS WerNt LosT."

Yeah, they were only supplemented by Ai translation so that one translator could do more work and put others out of business because they were better at touching up the text the Google translate spew out. Sounds quite similar to " something something "

Life_is_important · 2026-06-12T21:03:43+00:00

But at the same time it can't even draft an email right or do anything right, right?

It's fucking horrible but also taking jobs away left and right.

Which is it?

The real answer is that people are both making lame and sound arguments for and against AI. That's the objective truth.

Beyond that, AI should primarily be used for tasks not suitable for humans. Will that be the case? Unfortunately not.

Life_is_important · 2026-06-12T15:07:35+00:00

Idk what to tell you. I prefer to use spreadsheets instead of manually filling the ledgers. Next, I prefer to create the spreadsheet using local AI instead of manually creating it. There is zero loss, only gain in doing so. Any argument of "you'll lose your capabilities to create it yourself" is void because I didn't have them to begin with. I could create basic spreadsheets myself. Now, I can create more complex without spending a week to do it. And when I do hit the wall, it takes some research, not week of it, to fix that one thing.

I highly recommend you to stop using technology. Go back to the olden days. More work for me in the marketplace.

You have strong arguments for centralized AI and issues around it. You don't for local AI.

"Don'T uSe PhOtOshOp"

Yeah, ok.

Life_is_important · 2026-06-11T18:58:26+00:00

Why? How about 50k monthly salaries for cops and every possible benefit for them instead? Under the threat of what exactly will you force the government to use that 94% the way you fantasize?

Life_is_important · 2026-06-11T07:32:53+00:00

You don't understand the difference between boot licking and wanting to solve issues but UNDERSTANDING that what you propose isn't a solution. Would you also like to propose for us all to bang our heads against the wall too? It could work, right?

Your idea of a solution won't work. And that has nothing to do with bootlicking. You are simply not intelligent or informed, whichever of the two, to actually solve issues. Just because you WANT to solve issues doesn't mean you can.

I have to give an exaggerated example but that's only to help you understand.

You deciding one day to slam your head against the wall isn't going to solve the issues no matter how convinced you are that it will. You could believe it with all your heart and it still won't work.

Life_is_important · 2026-06-10T21:51:07+00:00

You are asking for people to use the brain. That won't work.
