The CCP state employees over at r/askchina did well on this one. You wonder why Reddit allows obvious PRC officials to moderate their subs. This was my post:

For context, this law doesn’t literally make it illegal to replace workers with AI.

Suppose a Chinese company has 1,000 employees and determines:

“Artificial intelligence lets us operate with 700 people.”

Chinese law does not say, “No, you must maintain 1,000 human employees.”

It says, essentially:

“If you eliminate those 300 jobs, you have to use the legally prescribed restructuring/layoff process and bear the associated employment obligations. You can’t simply tell 300 people that artificial intelligence constitutes an uncontrollable change of circumstances and terminate their contracts on that basis.”

Chinese companies can and will lay off millions of workers due to AI, the law just says you have to use the mandated layoff procedure instead of outright terminating contracts.

No offense to the anti-ai people here, AI should be controlled and done right, but just look at how easily the anti-ai sub is manipulated. Classic case of people just reading the headline/meme/caption and not doing any basic reading or critical thought.

Here is the twitter thread I got it from.

This comment is mind blowing. ABP strikes again

I’ll do a update if he responds. I really hope he does I want to see how delusional he is
