SK Hynix is making an absurd amount of money from the RAM shortage, and the employees are not unreasonably demanding their cut from it.

Yeah but when you get old enough you get sacked and cant get employed anywhere and have to start frying chicken. So..

As opposed to what happens in the US, you mean?

Come on. We all know in the US a chicken place would never hire you, you would be 'too overqualified'. You have to do 'consulting' work for scraps as a tech person for out of favor industries as your wardrobe slowly goes out of date/becomes threadbare.

People forget that all the training data to make these things was harvested with little concern for copyright or proper licensing.

A dividend or basic income or something funded by a tax on this stuff is not at all unreasonable.

The technology is cool but it’s basically mass piracy.
