问HN:现在有没有认真组织科技劳动的努力?
HN是我所知道的科技工作者集中度最高的地方。
我们正生活在一个充满恐惧和不确定性的时代,每周都有裁员发生。人工智能常常被提及,无论它是否是真正的原因。尽管现实是,如果劳动者停止工作、罢工、组织起来并对未来的角色发声,科技公司将无法完成任何工作,但科技工作却在被贬值。工人们拥有的权力远比他们意识到的要大。管理层沉醉于贪婪和权力之中,而普通员工和基层工人才是推动企业运转的关键。
这已经看起来是历史上向0.1%富裕阶层分配财富的最大时期之一。然而,我们似乎并没有进行反抗。我听到有人说“工会不起作用”,那么什么才会有效呢?让我们来讨论一下。作为科技工作者,我们希望这一切如何发展?理想的未来对我们来说是什么样子,而不是对首席执行官们?
抵抗的形式可能是罢工、工会,或者完全不同的东西。如果已经有一些行动在酝酿,我希望能加入并积极参与。如果没有,那就让我们聚集一些聪明的人,想出最佳的组织方式。我明白我们无法将人工智能重新装回瓶子里。但肯定有一些集体行动可以采取,以便让工人们获得基本的保护,并分享人工智能带来的效率红利。

HN has the biggest concentration of tech workers that I know of.<p>We’re living in an age of fear and uncertainty with layoffs happening weekly. AI is often being cited, whether it is the real reason or not. Tech work is being devalued despite the reality that tech companies ability to get anything done if labor were to stop, strike, organize and speak up about what happens with their role in the future would prevent the business from getting work done. Workers have a lot more power than they realize. The management class is intoxicated with greed and power. ICs and rank and file workers are what makes the business happen.<p>This is already looking to be one of the largest wealth distribution periods in history to the 0.1%. And yet, we are all seem to not be putting up a fight. I’ve heard people say “unions won’t work”, what would work then. Let’s discuss. How do we as tech workers want this to play out. What would the ideal future look like to us, not CEOs?<p>The shape of what the resistance could be a strike, a union, something else entirely. If there is already something brewing, I want to join and take an active role. If there is not, then let’s get some smart people together to figure out how best to organize. I understand we put AI back into a bottle. But, surely there is some collective action to take to allow workers have some basic protections and reap some of the benefits of AI efficiency.
