DAMPAK TEKNOLOGI INFORMASI DAN KOMUNIKASI

Selain memberikan manfaat, TIK (Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi) juga menimbulkan dampak negatif terhadap manusia, apabila tidak digunakan sebagaimana mestinya. Berikut adalah contoh beberapa dampak negatif dari penggunaan TIK dilingkungan masyarakat diantaranya:

Terasing dari lingkungan Seorang pengguna komputer memiliki kecenderungan untuk mengisolasi dirinya karena ia akan berlama-lama di depan komputer. Hal ini mengakibatkan kurangnya interaksi dengan masyarakat di sekitarnya. Kesadaran untuk hidup bersama dapat mencegah dari keterasingan dengan lingkungan. Oleh karena itu, pandailah membagi waktu antara waktu dan bergaul.

Meningkatnya kejahatan di dunia maya Perkembangan dunia maya atau internet ternyata memunculkan model kejahatan baru yang memanfaatkan kelemahan sistem komputer untuk mencari keuntungan diri sendiri dan merugikan orang lain.

Bidang Pendidikan  Dampak Positif Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi di bidang pendidikan yaitu sebagai berikut. a. Informasi yang dibutuhkan akan semakin cepat dan mudah di akses untuk kepentingan pendidikan.

b. Inovasi dalam pembelajaran semakin berkembang dengan adanya inovasi e-learning yang semakin memudahkan proses pendidikan.

Dampak negatif Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi di bidang pendidikan yaitu sebagai berikut. a. Kemajuan TIK juga akan semakin mempermudah terjadinya pelanggaran terhadap Hak Atas Kekayaan Intelektual (HAKI) karena semakin mudahnya mengakses data menyebabkan orang yang bersifat plagiatis akan melakukan kecurangan.

Bidang Sosial Budaya  Dalam hal sosial dan budaya, TIK memberikan dampak yang tak sedikit, baik dampak positif maupun negatif. Dampak positif diantaranya adalah: a. Informasi yang ada di masyarakat dapat langsung dipublikasikan dan diterima oleh masyarakat. Sumber informasi tidak hanya berasal dari satu orang saja. Dalam masyarakat, semua orang dapat menjadi sumber informasi. Setiap orang dapat saling bertukar informasi satu sama lain. Informasi itu pun menyebar sampai kepada seluruh lapisan masyarakat dengan cepat melalui media-media TIK yang ada. b. Hubungan sosial antar masyarakat dapat berlangsung dimana saja dan kapan saja.A berada di kota Bandung dan B berada di kota Makassar. Mereka berkomunikasi melalui ponsel. Mereka saling mengabarkan kondisi satu sama lain dan saling bertukar cerita. Itulah sedikit gambaran pemafaatan TIK dalam hubungan interaksi sosial. Walaupun berjauhan dan berada dalam zona waktu yang berbeda, mereka tetap dapat berkomunikasi dan saling bertukar informasi.

Dampak negatif TIK dalam bidang sosial dan budaya adalah sebagai berikut. a. Timbulnya jenis kejahatan baru.Kejahatan yang timbul antara lain penipuan, pencurian nomor kartu kredit, pornografi, pengiriman email sampah (spam), pengiriman virus, penyadapan saluran telepon, memata-matai aktivitas seseorang (spyware), dan mengacaukan trafik jaringan. Kejahatan-kejahatan ini sulit dideteksi karena dikerjakan dengan fasilitas TIK, salah satunya internet.

Bidang Perniagaan dan Perdagangan  Dampak positif teknologi informasi dan komunikasi di bidang perniagaan dan perdagangan di antaranya sebagai berikut. a. Membuka Peluang Bisnis Baru b. Pertumbuhan ekonomi yang semakin tinggi. c. Terjadinya industrialisasi. d. Menjamurnya bisnis berbasis internet.

Dampak negatif teknologi informasi dan komunikasi di bidang perniagaan dan perdagangan di antaranya sebagai berikut. a. Mendorong Tindakan Konsumtif dan Pemborosan dalam Masyarakat. b. Menambah angka pengangguran karena tenaga manusia banyak yang digantikan dengan mesin-mesin.

Bidang Pemerintahan  Dampak positif TIK di bidang pemerintahan di antaranya adalah sebagai berikut. a. Mendorong Tumbuhnya Proses Demokrasi. b. Meningkatkan Kualitas dan Kuantitas Layanan Publik.

Dampak negatif TIK di bidang pemerintahan di antaranya adalah sebagai berikut. a. Penggunaan persenjataan canggih untuk menyerang pihak lain demi kekuasaan dan kekayaan suatu negara. b. Terorisme yang semakin merajalela.

DAMPAK ERA REVOLUSI INDUSTRI 4.0 Dampak teknologi informasi lebih terasa pada saat sekarang, yaitu di era revolusi industri 4.0. Dampak revolusi industri 4.0 yang terjadi di dunia teknologi informasi terjadi dibeberapa bidang:Produksi,Pertumbuhan Ekonomi Dan Inklusi SosialEnergi

Teknologi yang terkena pengaruh penting pada pada era revolusi industri 4.0 ini antara lain:

Computing Power Pemanfaatan Komputer Dan Juga Network Yang Semakin Dibutuhkan Dan Berpengaruh Besar Untuk Revolusi Industri 4.0.

Di Industri Otomotif Dampak revolusi industri dalam bidang otomotif adalah.. a. Pengemudi sudah mulai digantikan oleh teknologi yang mengakibatkan asuransi sudah mulai tidak diperlukan dikareknakan semakin menurunnya tingkat kecelakaan. Hal ini dikarenakan banyak driver yang digantikan fungsinya oleh robot dan mesin yang dapat memastikan tingkat kecelakaan yang lebih kecil, contoh pada rem yang dibuat menjadi rem otonom mengurangi tingkat kecelakaan sebesar 23% 45%.

Di Industri Ritel Pemanfaatkan komputer dan internet sebagai alat untuk melakukan digital marketing. Pembuatan e-commerce sebagai contoh nyata di revolusi industri yang dampaknya paling terlihat. a. Perusahaan yang langsung menjangkau End User dengan seiring dibuatnya toko online sendiri menjadikan kemudahan bagi end user juga membuat harga menajdi lebih murah di bandingkan dengan harus berbelanja dari tangan ke 3 atau ke 4.

Di Bidang Logistik, Inventory dan Manufaktur a. Pekerjaan manufaktur yang sudah mulai digantikan oleh mesin dan robot. Pekerjaan manufaktur biasanya berkaitan dengan buruh pekerja perusahaan sepatu, motor dan juga konveksi. Beberapa perusahaan besar seperti adidas sudah menggantikan pekerja manufaktur dengan robot sejak tahun 2017.

Di Bidang Teknologi Keuangan (Fintech) a. Penyedia nasehat keuangan dan management melalui analisis big data. Dengan dibuatnya robot Ai yang menyediakan nasehat keuangan b. Menyediakan AI untuk institusi keuangan

Di Bidang Pendidikan dan Kesehatan a. Terciptanya AI(Artificial Inteligent) didunia kesehatan sebagai pengambil keputusan dibeberapa bidang kesehatan. b. Meningkatan akses dan kualitas pelayanan kesehatan jarak jauh (Telemedicine)[1] c. Terciptanya e-learning yang tidak mengharuskan siswa datangn ke kelas untuk belajar d. Terciptanya e-library agar mempermudah dalam pencarian kebutuhan akan buku dan jurnal

Dampak yang besar terancam terjadi dibeberapa bidang manufaktur, ancaman munccul dalam bentuk hilangnya beberapa lapangan pekerjaan dan akan ada 4. 75 juta pekerja administrasi di 18 negara terancam dirumahkan diakrenakan adanya revolusi indutri 4.0 ini.

Maka dari itu dampak negatif dari revolusi industri 4.0 dapat dirasakan bersama, yaitu:

Timbulnya Kapitalisme Modern

Perusahaan Kecil Gulung Tikar Dikarenakan Tergantikan Oleh E-Commerce

Upah Buruh Semakin Rendah

Munculnya Golongan Pengusaha Dan Golongan Buruh

Munculnya Imperialisme Modern

Kurangnya Interaksi Antara Manusi Adan Manusia Lainnya

[weaselle]

it was too much i had to make my own post

line cook here. ACCURATE

if you don't get the hate, here's what you don't understand.

it takes up to 2 hours to close down the kitchen.

The last 60-90 minutes before closing time you do almost no cooking because the restaurant doesn't have many people in it and you've already cooked most of their diners.

So if someone walks in during, like, the last hour, the cook is in the middle of an industrial deep clean of the kitchen.

(these numbers can vary quite a bit from place to place but i have worked several restaurants with these actual times and the concept remains the same)

Say the place closes at 10. If you wait til the restaurant is already closed to start all your cleaning duties, you'll be there until at least midnight.

More than that your boss knows that on an average night you can start your clean up as soon as the last rush ends and get out of there around 10:45, even 10:15 on a slow night if you get lucky. That means there are plenty of restaurants where if you do take until midnight the manager is going to come up to you at some point that week and ask you what went wrong that night, and you'd better have an answer.

So this example restaurant closes at 10 pm. The dinner rush ends around 8:30, and shortly after that the cook is going to start getting every single dish possible over to the dishwasher because the dishwasher always gets hit hard and late, and the machine runs for 2 full minutes and only holds so many dishes, so the way that works out is if you wait an extra 30 minutes to give the dishwasher all your stuff it can mean adding like 60 minutes to the end of his shift. And you're gonna KEEP finding shit to send to the dishpit right up until you leave probably.

all these little square and rectangle containers in this cold table have to be pulled out and changed over into new containers, replaced by new full ones, or in some cases filled from larger containers in the back, which can result in even more empty containers to send to the dishwasher.

while it's all pulled apart to do this, you have to clean up all the spilled food and sauce and juices and stuff from the joints and ledges and shelves and drip trays

Once you get your line changed over in this way, and fully stocked, anytime someone orders something that makes use of a bunch of that stuff, you have to restock and re-clean it some. It might already be covered in plastic. Some of it might already be stuck in the back to make room to take apart your cutting board counter to clean. To cook a dish isn't TOO much of a problem at this point, but you're really hoping for zero orders because you still have so much other cleaning to do.

Meanwhile the salad bar and appetizer section and server station and everybody are all doing the same thing. Even the bartenders are stocking olives and lemons and sending back whisks and stir spoons and shakers and empty 4quart storage containers that used to hold the back-up lemons and olives and things. Every section is dumping their must-be-cleaneds to the dishpit as fast as possible because early and fast is the only thing they can do to to help that dishpit not absolutely drown into overtime.

The poor dishwasher is always the last to clock out, soaking wet and exhausted.

Around this time you probably scrub the flat top, which has turned black from cooked on grease and is still about 500 degrees. Line cooks are divided in opinion on water-based or oil based cleaning methods for this, but they all involve scrubbing with (usually) a brick of pumice stone using every ounce of your strength while you try not to burn yourself

you scrub it from fully blackened to gleaming silver and now if somebody orders something that needs the flat top to cook, you can either fuck up your cleaning job or fake it in a couple frying pans and pass that tiny fuck you down to your dishwasher (who usually understands, especially if you help them take the garbage out or clean your own floor drain later)

If there's deep fried stuff on the menu then the fryers have to be cleaned out, which includes straining the oil out into enormous and super-heavy pots full of oil so hot that if you spill on yourself then it's probably a hospital visit and if you slip and fall face first into it it'll be the last thing you ever do.

Then you gotta scrub out the fryer. Like you gotta take the (hot) screen out and reach your arm down into the weird rounded pipes and curved areas (so hot, burn you if you brush against them hot) and scrub off whatever is down there

Depending on your kitchen you might have to do up to four of these. Then you'll have to pour the (dangerously hot) oil back in

oh, and if you didn't dry the pipes and get ALL the water out of the trap and tank?

water reacts with hot oil in a sort of mentos and coke way that can send a tidal wave of oil past the open flame of the pilot light ...HUGE dangerous mess and/or burn down the kitchen if the oil lights up.

Unless! If the oil has been used too hard and needs to be changed, it's time to carry those open topped super heavy pots full of will-kill-you-hot oil and dump them in the barrel outside by the dumpsters so you can put room temp fresh oil in the fryers. whew!

The clean up is not just some light wiping down that can be easily interrupted, is what i'm saying.

You might have to do some kind of walk-in duty (moving around 50lb cases of lettuce and 50lb bags of onions to get to the stacks of five gallon buckets full of salad dressings and sauces to move so you can reach the giant metal pots and bus tubs full of prep and get it all organized and make sure it's all labeled and i have to stop now i'm having flashbacks)

THE POINT IS

by 15 or however many minutes to close, the line cook is doing an intense deep clean and probably has the whole stove taken apart to detail.

For some industrial stoves this means lifting off large cast iron plates that weigh like 20 lbs each and are still quite hot. Whatever metal burners are on there, you gotta take off and clean, you can see here the lines that indicate the large thick cast iron rectangles that sit on top of the burners to allow heavy pots to rest on. Those five (each has one front burner hole and one back burner hole, see?) have to be lifted off and cleaned with soap and a wire brush usually, and then the underneath area also has to be cleaned because a lot of shit falls through the burner holes on a busy night.

if you didn't do it when you did the flat top you have to do the grease trap (which can be like a full five minutes and is always disgusting).. You gotta clean out all the little gas jets in each burner with a wire or something so the burners all flame evenly, and sometimes you have to remove some of the natural gas piping that connects the burners to access where you have to clean.

you gotta clean out the bottom of the oven and the wire racks, and, oh gods, you gotta take down the filter vents from the hood fans above the stove.

See all the lined parts along the top of the wall?

those are hood vents, and as they pull air up they also pull a lot of grease and they have to be taken down and cleaned, then you gotta climb up there and scrub where they go before you put them back...

And then there's the mopping and floor drains and...

Anyway, that's what the line cook is doing when you walk in fifteen minutes before closing and order something that needs to be cooked on that stove. They are doing an entire industrial cleaning of a professional kitchen.

In some restaurants maybe one or two of these jobs will be every other night or even only twice a week, but in many, possibly most kitchens, ALL of these things happen EVERY night. You don't want to leave any food mess that might attract insects or rodents for one thing, so a really good kitchen is as close to brand new as you can get it every night.

IF YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO ORDER SOMETHING ANYWAY, HERE IS WHAT TO DO

open with an apology and ask the server to go ask what the cook would prefer you to order.

Any good server will already know what the cook is hoping for and what will make their line cook go into the walk in and scream. If it's significantly less than an hour to close and they say some variant of "oh anything is fine" they are either telling the lie their boss wants them to say, or they actually do not know what their line cook wants, and you can either use human connection and a conspiratorial just-between-us tone to get them to drop the customer-is-always-right act, or get them to actually go ask the cook.

It might be as specific as "the lasagna is easiest on the kitchen" or it might be a simple guideline like "nothing that requires the flat top" or "any of the sautés are easy" but a good line cook will probably have a system for if they have to make a couple of the most popular items after they start their close, so the answer is likely to include something most people like and you should be good to order that.

but for the love of all that's holy, please only do so at great need. Leave that last 30-60 minutes to the truly desperate and the crew's duties.

Just this week in games:

- EA laid off 700 workers

- Sony laid of 900 workers

- Rockstar announces in-person work mandates for all employees (a 'soft layoff' that will force some staff to quit, which likely means that actual layoffs are forthcoming)

In 2023 6,000 games workers were laid off. Now in 2024 over 10,000 workers have been laid off, and there's still 10 months to go.

Not to be hyperbolic, but I think this is perhaps the worst year for video games ever if we're measuring by number of layoffs.

a little more information regarding the maui wildfires:

medical workers on the ground are describing finding hundreds of bodies. the current death toll in the media is, unfortunately, only a fraction of the reality

hospital workers are describing injuries and trauma as if survivors had come out of a warzone

thousands are still missing

an apartment complex for the elderly was lost. not everyone could get out. people were saying goodbye to loved ones over the phone

people who did get out of lahaina were leaving with ashes covering their faces and nothing but the clothes on their backs. people are losing everything.

hotels are still operating. hotels are still operating. they are not the ones offering shelters or housing or food. even bowling alleys are offering shelter, but hotels have the audacity to build on burial sites but not open their doors to local families who have lost everything.

donate to maui united way, the maui food bank, mutual aid, and maui humane society

It's not because he cares about Palestinians (cutting UNRWA funds, because of confessions obtained through torture, should tell you otherwise), it's because he doesn't have a large stockpile of weapons to send.

WE LIVE IN A HELL WORLD

Snippets from the article by Karissa Bell:

SAG-AFTRA, the union representing thousands of performers, has struck a deal with an AI voice acting platform aimed at making it easier for actors to license their voice for use in video games. ...

the agreements cover the creation of so-called “digital voice replicas” and how they can be used by game studios and other companies. The deal has provisions for minimum rates, safe storage and transparency requirements, as well as “limitations on the amount of time that a performance replica can be employed without further payment and consent.”

Notably, the agreement does not cover whether actors’ replicas can be used to train large language models (LLMs), though Replica Studios CEO Shreyas Nivas said the company was interested in pursuing such an arrangement. “We have been talking to so many of the large AAA studios about this use case,” Nivas said. He added that LLMs are “out-of-scope of this agreement” but “they will hopefully [be] things that we will continue to work on and partner on.”

...Even so, some well-known voice actors were immediately skeptical of the news, as the BBC reports. In a press release, SAG-AFTRA said the agreement had been approved by "affected members of the union’s voiceover performer community." But on X, voice actors said they had not been given advance notice. "How has this agreement passed without notice or vote," wrote Veronica Taylor, who voiced Ash in Pokémon. "Encouraging/allowing AI replacement is a slippery slope downward." Roger Clark, who voiced Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2, also suggested he was not notified about the deal. "If I can pay for permission to have an AI rendering of an ‘A-list’ voice actor’s performance for a fraction of their rate I have next to no incentive to employ 90% of the lesser known ‘working’ actors that make up the majority of the industry," Clark wrote.

SAG-AFTRA’s deal with Replica only covers a sliver of the game industry. Separately, the union is also negotiating with several of the major game studios after authorizing a strike last fall. “I certainly hope that the video game companies will take this as an inspiration to help us move forward in that negotiation,” Crabtree said.

And here are some various reactions I've found about things people in/adjacent to this can do

And in OTHER AI games news, Valve is updating it's TOS to allow AI generated content on steam so long as devs promise they have the rights to use it, which you can read more about on Aftermath in this article by Luke Plunkett
