I feel like this story’s message is a bit too anti-automation. Being able to do more work in less time and with less resources is a good thing, as it should mean more time for people to enjoy life. It’s only in this capitalistic hellscape - where people are required to work in order to survive - where “needing less jobs” is a bad thing. I feel like the story could have worked that in better.

That said, the story is correct in that people making training data for these neural nets are treated like crap.

Great game! Really makes you think. Those poor reindeer!
