Work Will Set Your TV | Chapo Trap House 

New episode Mr.chapo. Not more than 1hr I see. You'll be hearing from my lawyers.

It's like, it's so fucking depressing how the potential elimination of menial labour is a bad thing. Getting rid of service jobs by robots would be fantastic if there was some kind of UBI to sustain the American populace thatd let them actually pursue things they find meaningful. Create art, seek spiritual enlightenment, anything that could make their lives worth living But no, it'll just unemploy thousands and leave them in the wind because the only ones who seek to benefit from such technology are the ones who already have all the money in the world

100% Obungler is more proud of his documentaries than being president for 8 years. He also thinks the docs are more beneficial for the country, which, jurys out on that...

This country is tuly in the slowest free fall ever, world historic failure and it couldn't be more deserved

Tech news is so fucking stupid, every five seconds there’s a new jagoff declaring that the plot of Terminator is real and meanwhile ChatBT can’t even roleplay as a character for funny jokes without a “reminder that the character and concepts in the not real video game are not real and also please don’t swear at me” or something. Literally AM from I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream, invest today.

I honestly think all this AI and automation talk is designed to scare the working class into line. If you always have the threat of replacing someone with an iPhone app hovering over their head they're more likely to just meekly submit to whatever work conditions/pay you subject them to. Even if the owner class could actually replace every menial labourer with automation tomorrow I don't think they would. I think on some level they understand that would require a huge restructuring of society or else it would create a level of social instability that could actually prove troublesome to the current economic elite. It's much easier (and probably less costly to them) to just keep all the wage slaves where they are while paying them less and less as wages fail to keep up with inflation.

Has the guy who posts "Felix is so unfunny" posted on this vid yet?

Hey look! An episode of Chapo trap house! On the Chapo trap house RU-vid channel! Finally!

LOL self driving cars are not progress. The industry is driven by power and money , and the investors demand of a return on their investment, and nothing more. I am an engineer and industrial designer, and there are two important questions that need to be asked when there is a new idea or new design or "innovation"- Is it a problem that needs to be solved? In the case of self driving cars, no. Driving your own truck or car is not a problem. In fact in most cases, people love it. Then philosophically you need to reflect on this thought, just because you can do it doesn't mean you should. Self driving cars are the dumbest idea on the planet and the male species wet dream. Second questions, are they needed? No.

Man, the energy Felix can show when it's shitting time on the Obungler, you love to see it

American factory was thee most depressing thing I've ever seen. A Chinese oligarch basically moves into an old midwest factory that used to be a Ford or GM plant where people used to make like 35-40-$ bucks an hour and sets up a glass making factory where they pay all the same employees who used to work there making cars minimum wage. There's tons of beef between the Chinese management and workforce because the workers think they're being subject to inhumane conditions and shitty pay and management wants them to shut up and work faster. The company recruits a bunch of middle managers from the US workforce and they basically sell out their fellow countrymen for like a two dollar raise. I distinctly remember there's a part where they take some of them back to China for some bullshit HR team building shit and the Americans are literally crying about how touched they are that their co-workers are sharing their culture with them while the Chinese people look at them like they're completely deranged, like; 'Dude this is just some BS I have to do to keep my job.' Eventually the company literally removes the break room to increase productivity and the workers try to unionize, which is heavily undermined by management and fails. Afterwards the company just fires most of the US workforce, brings in more Chinese workers and heavily automates the factory. So a place that basically went from providing a decent living for thousands of Americans and their families now pays like 150 US citizens minimum wage lol.

I am actually the greatest warrior on any battlefield. My skills are there. The problem is just all the other soldiers. Once that is solved I will become the living weapon.

Imagine being President and then making a Netflix show

Obama is just a very polite sociopath

Informal prequel to this ep (and one of the really good ones): 225 - The Poster’s Crusade

Just got nostalgia from the title to one of my favorite episodes of the podcast the “we work will set you free” episode.

The point should be getting awat from awful jobs but to actually improve our lives

Ai really is reverse jazz. Except instead of the musicians being blind they're deaf and playing by feel. Then because no one even gets actual jazz we're just like "yea...close enough I guess."

Barack Obozo

In three years, Cyberdyne will become the largest supplier of military computer systems. All stealth bombers are upgraded with Cyberdyne computers, becoming fully unmanned. Afterwards, they fly with a perfect operational record. The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. When the system goes online, all human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time. In a panic, they'll try to pull the plug. It launches its missles at Russia. Skynet knows that the Russian counterattack will eliminate its enemies over here.

Hey it could always be worse. Imagine if he made shows for Apple!

Need to make a new "married with children" but they're all Alfs or AI's.

I wonder if they will ever do a review of Charlie Wilson's War.

Big mike Obama 🥒

So Obama has his own reality tv show now? Does he also have that dumb music that constantly accompanies the narrative?

Barry saw the Monopoly money scene on the C*sby Show and decided that was all he needed to know about economics.
