Spend shit, get shit.
Garbage in garbage out.
Every company outsourced to third world while charging us more.. at the same time ceo and investors make record amount of money... hmmmm.
Something definitely needs to be done.
Correct. They want to replace White male workers with literally anything else.
CEOs are bulletproof, unfortunately.
Luigi proved otherwise.
I'm not prepared to make a judgement one way or the other on the United Health CEO assassination.
But I will say that 'justice' and 'legal' are not synonymous. Particularly when we're living in a nation run by a government bureaucracy built on lies.
i'd wager near 90% of the government we labor under is wholly illegitimate and unconstitutional.
No, people should realise every single piece of shit CEO/globohomo grifter has a name and address. Luigi already proved that
CEOs shouldn't be the targets. Politicians who serve them have names and addresses. The political class should never exist. We are no better than 17th century Europeans.
Heh.
You might as well just ask ChatGPT to write some code to make the flappy thing on a plane go up and down because thats the kind of quality you're gonna get.
That’s the idea, actually.
Isn't ChatGPT just Indians in a wageslave center anyways? Or was that some other AI's controversy?
IIRC that was a cashierless store that used ActuallyIndians to tally your purchases as you put them in your cart.
Edit: Apparently it wasn't quite that bad - it was AI with humans double-checking everything, but the AI was apparently bad enough at its job that they abandoned the idea in favour of attaching the checkout scanner to the trolley.
What's the current college cope now that even STEM degrees aren't safe from the browns taking over?
At the outsourcing firm I work at(in Romania, another country where the majority of software companies are outsourcing firms) the cope was that clients leaving us for Indians will come back to us in a year or 2 to use us as overpaid jannies to clean up the mess left by them(and some of our clients did exactly that at least a few years ago).
I’ve worked with devs all over the world. Something is specifically wrong in India and China. They hire in masses and produce nothing.
I haven’t worked with Chinese devs but Indians have a culture of faking, scamming, and stealing - I’ve never had a good experience working with them.
When you try to explain to an Indian what you expect him to deliver, he’ll interrupt you to loudly declare “NO PROBLEM, SAR, ITS NO PROBLEM” sometimes even waving his arms. The impression you get is that you just asked a stupid question - like if someone was building you a house and you asked if there would be a front door. “Of course there’ll be a front door you idiot, this isn’t my first house”
But then with Indians you get a house with no front door. Then when you point that out they act like it’s no big deal to add one after the fact. It’s fucking infuriating.
Saar Saar! there's no front door because you did not say you vanted front door Saar
We don’t want White Males….EVER - Colleges.
Typical managerial "thinking", engineers are fungible drones, the real "specifications" come from management.
What you get is 5yo level doodles drawn with crayons, handed down to a thousand $9/hr monkeys banging on keyboards.
What could possibly go wrong???
It should be atypical. It's short term profiteering over long term value building and good will generation. This didn't used to be the norm in the aircraft manufacturing business.
It's typical wall street/hollywood thinking.
\DO NOT REDEEM THE ANGLE SENSAAR
You get what you pay for.
Things will get worse while it is still racist to question if merit is necessary.
Not the MCAS, but a lot of the other software
Oy Vey! We must invest in AI or we won’t survive!
Probably want to be careful using Tesla's "Supervised" Full Self Driving. Elon laid off a bunch of American workers and replaced them with H-1Bs a few months ago.
If you bring it up on X he wishes your account into the cornfield.
Worked in E-Commerce for a while; Walmart seller center outsources the most to India, and it shows. The admin dashboard runs like shit, yet demands the most of you in terms of compliance.
I.e. if you sell a pallet of 8 semi-tires, Walmart will DEMAND that you ship via 1 day lag time, even if it was bought on Saturday (a non-work day). This is impossible for STL and LTL distribution, but Walmart does not care.
Walmart will also demand material spec sheets and various licensure/paperwork for literally EVERYTHING, with no goodwill/faith in site. Yet, Walmart so less frequented to its competitors that it has absolutely no leverage to push these through.
============================================================= Pretty sure this is a reflection of both the American corporate establishment and the Indian mindset.
American corpo's will put in the smallest amount of effort, yet demand you compensate on their behalf, since they believe they can get away with it. They take comfort in a sort of economic "divine right," where by nature of their heredity, others must compensate for their now-waning comparative advantage.
As for Indian's, they try to mimic what they believe are "Western standards," but are so clearly out of the loop that they end up shitting all over the rug. They do this because of an unearned sense of achievement, thinking they can compete or outperform the West. Then, when they are inevitably unable meet metrics, they just try to preserve their positions by playing off your morality and asking for "documents," "proof," or "license". They do not understand they lack any leg to stand on.
============================================================= They only way to beat this unholy alliance is to open an American business that delivers a better product while protecting American workers. That, or if running a multi-national business, making sure the branches are localized to the native populations that then sell to the same populations.
Globalization is not necessarily evil if it respects cultures, rather than trying to force-miscegenation everyone into a brown poo for an extra penny on the P&L sheet.
Boeing, like so many dysgenic corpos, are ultimately paper tigers in the long run (if they don't change). It shouldn't be too hard to break through them given enough time, and a proper long-term business approach.
