It isn't the corporation that you can't win against, it is the market. No one beats the market, long term.
Just say UPS had eaten the cost increase of the labor component of their services. Their choices would be to deliver packages at a loss, or to put their prices up.
If they operate at a loss, then they lose money for every package they deliver. So UPD immediately wants to deliver less packages. UPS will keep only the most profitable clients and contracts and they will reduce capacity to stop from going out of business. This condition is called a Margin Retreat, and it can lead to a death spiral of a company if they don't develop other revenue streams.
The other option is to pass the costs on to their customers, then UPS will lose customers to other mail carriers that don't have to pay union rates. This also causes UPS to shed excess capacity, because paying for capacity that they don't use is very expensive and doesn't give any returns.
This was exactly the situation in the UK coal mining industry in the 1980s. Low grade thermal coal was being mined at fantastic costs. The government was subsiding the mines to keep miners in jobs and buy votes. The union leaders were literally socialists and had swung two elections demanding that the government pour money into mines that would never be profitable again. Enter Margaret Thatcher, who did nothing more or less than restore the free market and make mines pay their own wages.
If you want UOS to pay workers better, then change market conditions by preventing immigrants from taking transport jobs. Reduce the oversupply of cheap labor to the market and then every carrier wil pay the new market rate for truck drivers.

You can't see how a heavy drinker who has been caught driving drunk many times can ALSO have a car that is never maintained?
In my experience people who take risks tend to take a lot of them at once. Bald tires and driving drunk, together.
Lots of times a Mexican illegal immigrant who has a serious accident in a stolen or unroadworthy car just heads back to Mexico for two years. The only reason this story made the news is that the guy didn't leave before police caught up with him.
Stealing a SSN is a felony.
Both things can be true.
The issue isn't that populations are decreasing. The issue is that some cultures are being hit harder than others to the point that tis is strong environmental pressure in an evolutionary sense.
We are, right now, selecting for cultures that don't empower women to get what they want.
In 80 years, the UK could be run by Pakastani Muslims, and it will be specifically because Islam was right about women.
Firstly, the Q in LGBTQ+ is Queer, which is explicitly a political affiliation.
Secondly, I dispute the numbers. The Alphabet people don't buy as a block. Moreover, as a percentage of the total economy, it doesn't fucking matter.
Lets break it down.
-
The number is too high. When compensating from deviation from the median (lots more faggots are poor) the number is easily corrected to $732 billion as TOTAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME. This more accurate number represents the gross, pre-tax income of about 9% of the population.
-
When we work out the disposable income that LBGTQ+ faggots can direct to "gay friendly" brands, it is much more like $571B
-
The reason that there has been a huge marketing push is because faggots respond to genuinely authentic marketing towards faggots. They are particularly susceptible to forming long term relationships with brands based on their faggot identity.
When compared to the larger consumer economy $571B is fuck all, BUT marketing companies jizz their pants at the idea of running campaigns that deliver lifetime customers.
I mean, Ubisoft willingly changed their logo to a purple, prolapsed asshole.
The attentive among us had some clues that they were going to shit.
But then again, if you had any brains, you wouldn't need to try to humanize the universe and get together once a week to chat about it
Name anything that has worked better. Point to the results.
Name one society, one culture, one city that had better results without a belief in a god or gods.
The USSR, Communist China, Cambodia, and Socialist Vietnam were all explicitly atheist. They replaced God with the State and shot the priests and burned the holy books. How did that work out?
Lifelong debt? Try indentured servitude.
Socialism declares that The Workers (i.e. The Party) seize the Means of Production (i.e. The Workers' Hands).
Making use of your skills and selling it for money would be The Black Market, which undermines the authority of the party.
The Party Officials become a de facto aristocrat class, because they are the officials that assign the resource allocation.
Merit no longer becomes effective in securing promotion. Only a person ingratiating themselves to party officials (politics) will cause advancement.
At which point real world results mean nothing and the Feelings of Party Officials are all powerful.
It became a highly successful stage play / musical that sold almost exclusively to women. "Wicked" helped write the playbook for the "force is female", girl-boss lead popular media revolution. So many other movies (etc.) followed this example.
The book reframes the villain of the "Wizard of Oz" as a misunderstood victim, and "The Great and Powerful Oz" an abuser / coward who abuses said witch and then hides inside the city of Oz forever.
Tried to ...?
This was fairly clearly an elite few siphoning off billions into construction contracts that never need to be delivered.
At least as relevant, is that it only takes one person to have an ugly, messy divorce.
If one of the married partners decides that she is going to be an unreasonable bitch and not stop fighting until she has destroyed the other... well; what is the guy going to do about it? Give up? Fight back? Leave the country?
About 80% of divorces are initiated by women.
Hammocks.are the true way forward. Embrace navel history!
I didn't say that AI images would or could be undetectable.
I pointed out that any software or program that detects AI images can be used as a training tool for AI image generation.
It is easier to use an AI detector that looks at file types or digital fingerprints to create training environments for AIs than it is to make AI detectors.
They still could be images with twelve fingers or nonsense writing, they just don't trip the AI detector software that was used for training.
Convolutional neural networks are a training environment that is automated to train a neural network.
ACME Software Company writes a program that can detect deep fakes. Neat!
Intake ASC DF Detective and plug it into my training environment for my pet neural network.
Every time my NN gets detected, it gets an electric zap. Every time it isn't detected it gets a doggy treat.
Guess what happens after thirty million training cycles?
Thanks for the help Acme Software Company!
Guy, most relationships with real live women are totally shit. Most women are overgrown children and are somewhere between selfish and just plain mean. Not all women, of course, but the vast majority of women in the USA.
An LLM just has to be better than that, and the price is so much cheaper. Instead of costing most of a man's income, it is a $50 subscription per month, or whatever.
A man can still do both. You can have your pet LLM while you look for a real relationship.
Or use it as a niccotine patch; Just enough to get the cravings to stop.
What is the alternative for most men? A parasocial relationship with an Only Fans girl? Paying a sex worker for a Real Girlfriend Experience? Simping in bars to get brutally rejected while her girlfriends laugh at what a chud you are?
Men know that LLMs are retarded. They are still not lying self-centered cunts.
Sext your LLM. Walk your dog. Hit the gym. It is still a better day than putting up with any random Ex-Wife.
Personally I advocate for trips to the Philippines a few times a year. Get a passport, bro. That still isn't a perfect solution.
This week I was looking at the quality of work generated by LLMs.
My comment to a close friend (who is a professional programmer) was:
"This work is shit. Why are we afraid that AI will replace us?" His response was: "If you work is slightly better than this, then you are right to fear replacement."
Which was eye-opening.
So much of the modern corporate world are invented jobs in AC for women and feminized men, so they can feel useful. At some economic necessity will apply pressure to remove these useless roles. AI doesn't actually have to be very good at all to replace humans that are totally useless and spend all day in an office writing emails and hiding from responsibility.
Just having control over what happens to their porn-bot is worth it.
There is that Japanese guy who married an avatar of the HoloLive service, and they later discontinued her. Now he has photographs and memories and that is it.
I suspect that on some level configuring and testing the hardware / software removes some of the illusion. LLMs are not people, they just pretend passably well. They don't lie, but they don't have feelings either.
I would imaging the emotional experience is fairly comparable to paying a stripper to pretend to be interested, but cheaper.
Symbol (The laser barcode scanner company) was testing prototypes of a similar system in 1998 or so.
This has been a long time coming, but it was always the plan.
I'm with you buddy.
The universe is God's work. The truth of our world is divine, because it is of Him. We know God by studying his perfect creation, and through learning those lesser truths we come closer to the greater Truth that is our Lord God.
GamerGate has been quite the journey for me.
There Is No Truth But Power.
That includes the Truth of History. If they can force you to submit then that is capital T Truth.
Because competing interests are not a thing. Got it.
One of Henry Ford's insights was that paying his workers well created a market for his Model T Fords.
Mechanisation (farming with tractors, using cars for transport) leads to effect and more of the Value Added Step.
Wealth in the economy creates the middle class. All of our professionals, inventors and innovators come from the middle class.
It takes generations to convince people that their rural homestead has less to offer than the city.
In 1890 the average middle-class farmer had a better standard of living than someone in a big city. It took a long time for city life to be anything but slims and open sewers for almost everyone.
It seems we are going backwards fairly quickly right now.
