I remember my FIL asking each one if they were trying to supplement a living or if they were purely a for-profit capitalist venture taking advantage of an opportunity at an anti-capitalist protest.

Out of curiosity, how would he draw that line? When does it stop counting as a living and start being a purely for-profit venture?

Nothing on Lemmy is posted on basis of "needs to be mentioned",

Literally everything on Lemmy was said for a reason. Bad reasons exist, but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Tipping causes lower wages because it relieves the employers of the obligation of paying their workers. Also, I am talking about systemic change,

Tipping doesn't "cause" lower wages. Tipping becoming an expected social norm can cause that, or exacerbate it. But you as an individual choosing not to tip doesn't really impact that. It certainly doesn't effect systemic change. If the norm is already present, all you're doing is literally lowering one individual's wages by not tipping them, and if it's not then what you're doing is making a statement to that individual (ranging from "I come from America" to "you were really exceptional").

Quoting the linked article:

The contract the Guild secured in September set a historic precedent: It is up to the writers whether and how they use generative AI as a tool to assist and complement—not replace—them. Ultimately, if generative AI is used, the contract stipulates that writers get full credit and compensation.

So, yeah. It's more about ensuring that a human person in the writers' guild gets credited as a writer, even if they or someone else uses an ai as a tool in the process.

I love how you used pharmacist as both a location and a person in the same paragraph, and now I'm picturing them locking the pharmacist in a little cage after someone chases after to catch them when they just walk out.
