Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

These are dead books, destroyed on an industrial scale. I grew up in Germany and there are few images of facism from the 3rd Reich that have endured like the book burnings did. Not sure who destroyed more art and knowledge. I'm not being cute here or using nazi comparisons as hyperbole. /1

A warehouse literally so huge you barely see the opposite walls, full of boxes with cut apart books, to be scanned.

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

breaking: Wikimedia Foundation says it will not voluntarily recognize its workers union, instead insisting on an election held under Trump's NLRB. Wiki Foundation execs dodged this question at its massive conference last week. www.404media.co/wikimedia-wa...

We can add a seventh location to today's #SaveOurDevs march: Tamriel! Elder Scrolls Online fans organized just like we did and marched to support the ZeniMax Online Studios team. Thank you so much! ❤️ youtu.be/jPFIu5i3xxM?...

Friend of mine who has a QA job at a big corpo game studio was worried they'd get laid off when their project was cancelled. Instead they got offered a move to a programmer position, with the studio paying for their training. In my 15 years in the "indie" industry I've never seen anything like this

Workers need to resist our own dehumanization, and part of that is emphasizing the real human cost of management's decisions, the grief we experience for the loss of our colleagues, projects, etc. You can't build a company on "passion" and then punish people for having feelings.
