THE NEW SCAPEGOAT
for capitalist labor abuse
AI isn't competing for your job, your boss just sees you as another cost to cut.

"You see it in every viral clip of people raging at retail workers. Our system is set up to create mutual antagonism between working class people. Corporations deliberately pit consumers against low-wage workers, and faceless executives stay shielded like mob bosses."

I hadn't read a Microsoft security bulletin in awhile but @iamabot made me read one today and what an absolutely hollow shell they've become. There are, optimistically speaking, two useful sentences in that entire document.
In the mid 2000s, each security bulletin was like a novella, digging into everything one might need to know about the vuln. What happened is sadly predictable -- as Microsoft localized bulletins into more languages, translation became a significant cost and, thus, everything was reduced to a formula so that there was less & less to be translated. Apparently, they're down to two sentences of actual content now.

3 of 4! This one is a doozy because more information seems to be following layoffs and restructuring at #Google by the day. Likely out of date.
Here, I'm basically making an argument for #consolidation #costcutting and improved #efficiency at Google (I'd like to think this still applies now during the #AI #Search Wars)
Check it out on my blog:

I remember reading #whitenoise in the day, in the last bit of the golden academic evening, before it all became petty #costcutting, exploited #adjuncts, and adminstrative CEOS. Baumbach's film is a history film - that academic world is as gone as anything is gone.
