Robots. The solution for the disgusting jobs nobody really wants to do is to build machines to do it.

Or, or perhaps until these jobs can be automated, or remotely performed, you incentivize people to do them by offering privileges. Perhaps luxury items, or vacations, etc. Or, perhaps you make it something everyone in the community has to take a turn doing. Like jury duty. Could still also incentivize it.

These are necessary albeit disgusting jobs that people should be praised for doing instead of looked down on like they often are. Garbage collectors, sanitation workers, janitors and the like are some of the most important work that someone can do.

Nursing, and Doctoring often entails just as disgusting of work as the aforementioned jobs. Some are only willing to do the work for the money. Some will always be willing to do it for the desire to help society, and the recognition they receive. As long as their fundamental needs and more are met, people will be willing to do disgusting jobs for the greater good.

Then people will complain because it probably uses AI

I'm an AI hater. But one of the reasons I hate it is because so many of the uses its been applied to are making art. Humans like making art. Humans don't like cleaning shit. Make AI power robots that clean up shit and nobody would be mad at it.

I think, this kind of automation was a sci-fi dream of ⅩⅩ century, but we kinda failed to reach it

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Rules


  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

  7. No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.
