  1. Should be widely read!

    I heard it on Cory Doctorow's podcast. "Hell Is Other People"

    "Not everyone feels this way. A subset of humanity is committed to a world where everyone else takes orders from them. We have different names for these people. We call the majority of them “toddlers,” but we call the others “bosses” or “tyrants.” "

    "These latter two groups ... are also among the people most excited about #AI. What’s more, the more powerful these people are, the more credulous and enthusiastic they are about AI."

    "Among #bosses, the most enthusiastic boosters are #tech #overlords. These #billionaires will not shut up about AI, and, tellingly, the thing they’re most excited about is the fact that AI might let them fire #programmers and replace them with #chatbots."

    . . . at least not *effectively*

    #bosses who come from #management have the mistaken idea that any constraints on software capabilities come from either hardware or coders' lack of skill. That coders *could* make magic box do anything if they spend enough money on hardware and hiring the best coders.

    It doesn't work that way and AI ain't gonna change that.

    My long look begins in #Texas, where I'm living with my wife.

    I'm a little #old #blind #transgender man who does not want to sanction #violence in #writing because my #government, both #state and #federal, already consider me unfit for purpose and surplus to need.

    I work within my #risk #tolerance. We all should work within our risk tolerances.

    If you think that you are somehow informing me of anything that I was previously unaware of, ask yourself *why* you believe this to be true.

    My particular point is specifically regarding violence toward the #EpsteinClass. Violence toward the #owners and their minion #bosses.

    My degree isn't in #mathematics, but I understand percentages.

    My degree isn't in #history, but I understand how a #revolution might start.

    My degree isn't in #economics or #medicine but I understand that the only thing that grows forever is #cancer.

  6. Yo, #billionaires!

    Highwaymen used to give a choice to those they held up, "Your money or your life?"

    If all y'all are sooo smart, why don't you know:

    - #Unions are the enlightened alternative to #violence, including violence upon #owners and their minion #bosses.

    - #Taxes are the mechanism for ensuring the #distribution of the #wealth created by our #social and #economic #systems to all of the #people participating in these systems and keeping them operating.

    Your #opposition and outright attacks on unions and taxes demonstrate extreme ignorance and/or self-delusion.

    Violence is never the answer until it becomes the only available option.

    Like they say in the game, choose wisely.

  9. I really hate when #bosses/professors are like "There's no way you're actually all #sick, at the same time," and it's like. Yes, yes we are, actually, because that's. How. #Illness works.

  10. Yes to California’s “No #Robo Bosses Act”

    California’s Governor should sign S.B. 7, a common-sense bill to end some of the harshest consequences of automated abuse at work. @eff is proud to join dozens of labor, digital #rights, & other advocates in support of the “No Robo #Bosses Act.”

    #Algorithmic decision-making is a growing threat to #workers. Bosses are using #AI to assess the body language & voice tone of job candidates.

  11. Why Do #Bosses Give More #Power to Suck Ups? Two new studies find that #leaders are less likely to #empower #followers who raise concerns about #workplace #decisions, even though these “challenging voice” #employees play a critical role in highlighting problems and identifying solutions.

  12. #angry #bosses having #tantrums at #work

    Work is usually a place where people are expected to control their emotions. That doesn’t mean you turn off your #feelings, obviously — but #professionalism involves maintaining a pretty even outward keel. We’re not supposed to give someone the #silenttreatment, cry in every #meeting, or yell at our #colleagues.
    And yet, for some reason, in some #offices, people yell.

  13. 3 traits #bosses don't like
    1. Passing the Blame
    2. Spreading Negativity
    3. Being Passive

  14. Capitalism depends on the use of human shields.

    I go to the understaffed pharmacy and they screw up *every* order. I want to scream at the pharmacist and the assistant, but it's not their fault that the company won't put more people on duty.

    My medical provider cancels my appointment and makes me call *two separate numbers* and wait on hold for a long time. I want to scream at the scheduler, but it's not their fault.

    #humanshields protect profits.

  15. Ah, the cutting-edge revelation that #bosses enjoy a sprinkle of rebelliousness—bet you didn't see that coming! 😏 Of course, you can't read the full groundbreaking #insights without proving you're not a robot 🤖, so good luck clicking that "Allow Cookies" button, you maverick! 🍪
