Instead of jobs for a select few “minimum wage slaves,” Walmart has created work for every single customer. Very egalitarian.

This image is AI generated. Look closely at the smaller text, it’s all mangled.

This picture shows another perspective too.
People think jobs are necessary while we can just use machines and let them do it for us.
We don’t need jobs. We need to have a safety net for people who don’t have a job instead. A UBI is a good example. Creating jobs is such a capitalistic thing - egsaqmojz ( @egsaqmojz@lemmy.ml ) English19•1 day ago
does nobody else notice this is absolutely and obviously an ai generated image?
not to say that wal-mart is helping anyone at all. but this was clearly designed to spark outrage.

Is it AI generated, though? AI generated images usually mangle letters pretty badly and everything seems to be legible here.

Look at the products or the text in the background. I thought the text was photoshopped but turns out it was generated as well.

So they are, statement withdrawn. I wasn’t paying that much attention to the signs in the background and sure enough, the rightmost sign’s M and R look a bit off and the “Investing in” part is completely scrambled.

Those don’t take away that many jobs, at least not here in Germany. There is still someone standing next to them whenever they are open (on busy times 2 people) and shelves aren’t stocking themselves.

Yet 😏
no, sorry. we shouldnt lament jobs replaced by automation/easier to use systems. we should be pissed that billionares like the waltons arent taxed at 100%, and that their lowest paid employee makes thousand of times less than the management.
otehrwise youre just a buggy-whip maker shouting into the darkness

Large monopsonic companies like Walmart and Amazon already do central planning. They should simply be nationalized and run for public benefit and their owners should be brought up on charges.

Technically they’re not wrong. Someone at walmart has to source and buy the self scanners. 🤷♂️

Walmart: “Yeah sorry, not that job. Procurement pays too well.”
