  3. The Tech Worker Blues: The future of aging out

    That means saying something — not to the recruiter who was just the messenger, but in the rooms where you have standing: to colleagues, in public writing like this, in the rare conversation with someone who actually holds hiring power.

  4. The Tech Worker Blues: The future of aging out

  14. The Tech Worker Blues: The future of aging out

    Crystallized intelligence, the accumulated knowledge, judgment, and vocabulary you build through decades of doing the work, keeps climbing well into your 40s, 50s, and beyond.

  19. A #tech worker-backed #PAC is bringing a $5M knife to #BigTech’s $100M gunfight
    A new #SuperPAC Aims to Rally #TechWorkers to Help Limit #AI: '#GuardrailsAlliance'
    "This is not about matching [#LeadingTheFuture] dollar for dollar," [said the super PAC's co-founder, political operative Shaunna Thomas]. "What this vehicle is meant to do is be a political home for people who are concerned about the way the anti-regulation AI tech sector is trying to manipulate elections."

(Note: After “people’s power” toppled F Marcos and his wife Imelda (she of 1000-shoe collection) US bases in the country shut down; now Marcos Jnr* pushes “A-I native” technology hubs reconnected to the US military through private corporations.

  29. Working on some #poster designs to gather stories and information from workers who have lost jobs to #AI or are being forced to use it in the workplace. Incorporating some hauntingly beautiful art from @prahou who was helpful enough to point me at a few other pieces that might inspire more designs as well.

    Edit: for anyone interested in using these designs, I've released them here:

  31. Oh, look! Another revolutionary tech-worker utopia called "Demand Coop" 🤯💡. Because nothing screams "power to the people" like a convoluted jargon pile named 'Cahootz' that's sure to be more effective than just asking for a raise. 🙄

  35. linuxiac.com/gitlab-restructur

    GitLab is cutting jobs, by up to 30%, and restructuring itself around “AI agents” that will handle more coding, reviews, approvals, and deployments.

    The CEO is literally describing the future as “software built by machines, directed by people.”

    Watching tech companies throw workers under the bus so they can chase the latest AI trend is getting real dystopian real fast.
