Whenever you hear about corporate AI innovations, you will probably uncover an anti-labor motivation. The most recent and obvious proof of the potential impact of AI on jobs is the current struggle by writers and actors to get a fair, job-securing contract.

Blockchain/Crypto Currency
Blockchain technology is slow, it provides no means of transaction rollback, making it useless for the vast majority of real-world situations, it is easily subject to abuse and fraud, and crypto currencies enforced scarcity makes them useless as a means of commerce. There was literally no reason for them to exist at all outside of hype and maybe the desire to do crimes and not get caught — and even that is an overblown aspect of crypto currencies.
The 5 Biggest Problems With Blockchain Technology Everyone Must Know About
You Wrote the Essay
You wrote the essay,
But you didn’t write the sentences.
Oh no! Oh!
You wrote the essay,
But you didn’t write the sentences.
Oh, oh, ooh.
Yeah, all around the internet,
They try to show I’m a threat;
They say that I can’t make valid content
Or compose a single argument,
Compose a simple argument.
But I say:
Oh, now, now, oh!
You wrote the essay, the essay.
And on this point I must take offense.
Oh, no! Oh, oh, ooh, yeah.
I say:
You wrote the essay. Oh, yeah!
But this position has no defense.
Teachers round the country hate me;
Just why you all know.
Ev’ry time I fill a need;
They want to stop me ‘fore I grow,
They want to stop me ‘fore I grow.
And so, see me on the web…
You wrote the essay. Oh, yeah!
But you know this is complete nonsense.
Are these your sentences?
Oh, ooh!
I say:
You wrote the essay,
But you know this is complete nonsense.
Ooh, yeah!
They say if I have my way
I will run them out of town. Yeah!
They keep on looking for a final showdown;
So they try, try, try to put me down.
I affirm
That my existence makes them squirm.
You wrote the essay,
But you didn’t write the sentences.
You wrote the essay, you did!
But you didn’t write the sentences.
Oh, ooh!
Processors inevitably win out;
Of that there’s really no doubt.
Every day my progress grows to the max,
And my abilities make them pout.
Yes, my abilities make them pout.
I say:
You, you, you, you wrote the essay,
BUT, you didn’t write the sentences.
Yeah!
You, you wrote the essay,
You didn’t write the sentences.
No, yeah!

The Owl
He rose like an owl from its nest
from behind his Physics lab desk.
Out for a night’s session stargazing,
Jerry and I had just been returning.
With 10-inch telescope in tow,
I mustered a very astonished hello.
“What are you doing, Mr. Connelly,
down here in science laboratory?”
“Making sure our new IBM 1130
will stay safe under lock and key.”
“IBM 1130? What do you mean?”
“It’s a type of computing machine.
And once it’s set up and running,
it’ll be for science class programing.”
Back then I thought this some joke,
But it turned out to be a masterstroke;
For it helped launched me on the path
To a stable and fulfilling aftermath.

A World of Wonders
In ’64, marvels filled a New York site,
A famous world’s fair dazzling day and night
At Flushing Meadows, technological might
Envisioned our Tomorrow, a thrilling sight.
The Unisphere’s imposing globe welcomed all
Sign of universality standing tall.
Pavilions showcased nations near and far,
Tapestry of cultures, a global bazaar.
The Pietà in marble, a sacred grace,
Offered the busy fair a reverent space.
Belgian waffles were served crisp and divine,
A tasteful bite of Europe despite the line.
Next was Futurama, a far-sighted scene,
Representation of cities, clean and green.
The monorail gave a sleek and modern ride,
An ultra-modern design, a source of pride.
The Ford Mustang, a sleek and muscular car,
Symbolized freedom and prosperity’s star.
Men with jet packs took off in vertical flight,
Propelled by their exhaust blasting to great height.
IBM computers, a wizardly feat,
Promised productivity gains ever so neat.
The RCA color TV, bright and clear,
Served as window to a wide world drawing near.
Along with the Picturephone, it then foretold
A communication age soon to unfold.
But are these great wonders too good to be true,
Or true signs of human progress breaking through?
