I mean I don’t listen to the radio because if it’s not endless commercials it’s some DJ refusing to shut the hell up and just play the music already. For decades I’ve wanted to see a simple “That was (song) by (artist), next is (song) by (artist).”
Now I just use Pandora. A few bucks a month, no ads, and I can block or skip songs. So I don’t really care that a DJ loses his job. I do care, however, that they replaced him with an AI that will also refuse to shut the hell up but now also in an annoying artificial voice.
Now I’m not from Poland, but let’s be honest, they’re just the first of a bazillion others that’ll do the same thing.
Looks like those clowns in congress did it again. What a bunch of clowns.
Was wondering what you meant before reading the story. In case others are curious
What makes this move even more shocking is that Off Radio Kraków is not a private channel. It’s a state-owned station run by taxpayers’ money, according to Demski. His open letter has also caught the attention of ministers in the Polish government.
I was simply quoting The Simpsons - the KBBL radio DJs face being fired and replaced by the “DJ 3000”. The generic comment about congress is one of the things it spouts - and as you can see, it worked!
I’m so torn by this. On the one hand, it makes great radio hosts even more valuable and on the other hand, you become great by practicing and you get that practice at smaller and failing radio stations.
Also, what I want is for AI to replace middle management and upper management jobs as opposed to consumer facing jobs and I especially want systems in place to support the displaced people.
We cannot embrace AI while we’re ambivalent about UBI.
You’re putting the cart before the horse.
You’re never going to get upper management replaced by AI while upper management controls who gets paid what.
If the shareholders can get money, why wouldn’t they gut the fat. These parasites don’t think of the companies as wagyu, they just want dividends.
Who do you think sits on the Boards of Directors of these companies?
Think of the French Revolution. The English hated the French with a passion, but when the revolutionaries started killing the aristocracy the English lords were suddenly pals with their counterparts.
