Don't take their PR at face value. It's all about saving money by not hiring any models, but they can't brag about layoffs so they spin it into a diversity thing. In reality they probably don't give a fuck who's modeling their jeans nowadays and their skin color as long as it sells product.

Also, the shit about white people was from the 1880's. Not really a fair critique, they hire plenty of minorities these days. Racism is bad for business.

Because ppl who made $200k/yr their whole career want to work until they're 80.

As other people mentioned it has nothing to do with diversity. It's all about not having to hire people and save money. But the PR team isn't gonna say great news everybody, we can lay off all of our models a save a ton of money. So they look for how they can spin it and this is the easiest way.

Same as when coke says they quit making sprite bottles green because it's more eco friendly. It's sneaky PR, they don't give a fuck about the environment it was just convenient to market it that way vs saying we've saved a penny per bottle by getting rid of the green dye.

This will take the unrealistic body standards to a whole new level. Girls be wishing they had hands attached to their hips, with 11 fingers.

Yes. It will be an interesting period where there are various ASI, some competing, some at different developmental stages. It's all very cyberpunk, and we are going to live in this era. Our minds will continue to be blown (hopefully not literally!)

You sound like a terrible person.

Same.. but the issue is at the start people will just lose their jobs.. they won't receive recompense. Then they will have their homes and things taken away by collection due to their unresolved debt and being unable to pay it. If the implementation of a solution isn't fast enough, people will decide its better to burn it all down and hope in the next system they get something better.

'On many levels, mathematics itself operates as Whiteness.'

Yes, that sounds good, we need more blue-skinned elves and transhuman cyborgs in our fashion lineups.

Oh, not like that?

That just tells me that we’ll be disposable to the new corporate feudal lords.

How much does (diversity) need to be increased at this point. Jeeze

You don't need a model, you just need 'someone'. Or a dummy.

So the company whose slogan used to be "The only kind made by white labor" is finding new ways to not hire minorities. I'm shocked.

New horizons will emerge. Your “job” may be to compete in a chess tournament. It may be to be the H for the RL. The amount of “work” needed to create value will be so drastically small that you will buy things like you buy a pencil. Do you pick up a pencil if you see one on the ground? Don’t worry about it. It’s going to freaking amazing.

The degree will no longer be relevant. Study what you like with the help of AI, learn to use AI efficiently, and enjoy this life while you can.

Boy I love being right.

>Also, if people would have invested in real skills instead of relying on existing in front of a camera for a few seconds this wouldn't be a problem to them.

Im convinced a fuck load of you are jobless and poor relishing it happening to the rest of us.

Good human.

Good bot

Robotics is here to stay and its only really just begun. Bio-mechanical skills will be in high demand.

An engineering degree will about the safest bet you could make.

Study and get a degree as fast as you can. I advise you to learn coding asap and get as many freelance jobs as you can. Use ChatGPT-4 to help you with the tasks. A civil servant career in a very restricted and stable area (IRS, FBI, military, justice system, etc) is an excellent choice as well, considering they are less prone to suffer from layoffs.

Earn money, save money, buy land in the countryside or in a small town. Secure your loved ones. The 2030s and 2040s will be difficult decades. Stay alive until the ASI arrives.

Yes, it's really easy apparently. You can take a basic image and change the ethnicity of the model in a sort of Yahoo Pipes UI. I don't have strong emotions about this. But people will lose jobs or not get hired at least. We should do something out of solidarity even if it doesn't seem a big thing. I mean, before long there will be one guy posing to replace thousands of models. No more actors, no more artists, no more writers. Only Altman and the Microsoft cloud...

THis is silly. You are anthropomorphizing AI in a wreckless way. When I read crap like this, I m always left wondering whether ppl like you have actually looked at code. I would assume no.
