Robocop 2014

I think its extremely underrated.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, because out of all the sci-fi movies I’ve seen in the last two decades, this one has a very high likely chance of playing out exactly as indicated in the film.

We will blur the line between man and machine, and eventually have a identity crisis.

We will very likely see autonomous drone platoons being coordinated by a few or single human operator.

Those drones will likely be deployed in a military fashion first with push-back on deploying on home soil as a police force.

Until they will inevitably be deployed and used against civilians.

Also kudo’s to the scene where he is stripped down to the bare parts, and the entire theater went quiet. There’s a level of existential dread, when your ‘being’ is laid bare that the reality is… you… everything about you… is just a small clump of grey matter.

It doesn’t need to be a ‘protected class’.

If you were hired as an accountant, and job description explains what the job entails.

The boss can’t tell you to go out front and mow the grass, and fire you if you refuse.

It’s not in your job description.

Same with remote work. If the job description said 100% remote work.

It would be the same as hiring someone in one city, and then demanding they move to another city, and firing you if you refuse.

Sure, they can let you go, but they’d be on the hook for compensation. (in most civilized places anyway)

You don’t get a letter of employment offer?

I think you’re still kind of screwed if they want you in the office and you’re officially remote.

Depends on what you mean by ‘screwed’. If they hired you with certain expectations, like in writing job is ‘remote’, then you can refuse.

If they fire you as a result, yes, you are ‘screwed’ in the case of you’ve lost your job,

But you then sue for wrongful dismissal, in which case you have some recourse.

But if you live in a country/state that doesn’t allow you to do that, and offers no employee protections,

You were screwed from the beginning by accepting work in such a place to begin with.

Money saving measure?

Every stall is a unisex stall.

Problem solved.

If you accepted a remote job, you should have it in writing that the job is ‘remote’ work.

If your job wasn’t remote initially, but assumed it would be remote going forward, you should have demanded that the job has changed to ‘remote’ in writing.

If your job wasn’t initially remote, was temporarily made remote, and they are now changing back. Be prepared to walk.

Context? Who r these people?

Yeah, but those consequences are a direct result of poor infrastructure to facilitate the technology. Not the technology itself.

The consequences are more about these light motorized vehicles interacting with either cars/trucks meant to go faster and be larger, or interacting with pedestrians or non-motorized devices.

If they had their own dedicated pavement like the other two, most(not all) of those ‘consequences’ disappear.

The problem is infrastructure.

We have pavement for trucks/cars at >30km/h… We have pavement for pedestrians <5km/h

What we lack is the dedicated pavement for the stuff in between.

Regulating these light-motorized devices to be banned on the other two has been the real issue of acceptance and adoption of the tech.

We want to reduce traffic and oil consumption and can’t figure why people buy larger vehicles in North America?

number of fatal traffic accidents

Yeah, the issue isn’t the light motorcycles/mopeds/etc…

So dude is right, a whole class of vehicle is being being held back by regulation, and the premise/reason is ridiculous for a society that would like to see less cars on the road.

Laws are a social contract and don’t mean shit unless enforced.

Interesting, I hadn’t heard this one. Proof?

Good! No one wants to hear that obnoxious loud shit.

Unfortunately in the white collar world.

it was instead of my regular work,

‘regular work’ typically isn’t covered by someone else.

It piles up until you get to it.

Doubt it. His Dad would have just back-handed him.
