OK dumb CEO will fire smart, enraged, people en masse.

But imagine the cheer numbers, the critical mass of citizens believing deep inside that these CEO don't worth more than the bots they love.

That looks like an interesting potential.

(Kidding, the suffering of people for the greed of capitalism is never worthy)

The blog "This Needs Fixin'" looks at systemic problems in our society and suggests ways to address them.

Here's a randomly-selected link to a vintage post from the archive, dated 2025/02/19:

Yay, out now: "AI #Narrative Breakdown. A Critical Assessment of #Power and #Promise", doi.org/10.1145/3715275.373208

"This article scrutinizes the pervasive narratives that are shaping the societal engagement with #artificial #intelligence (AI) such as agency & decision-making, autonomy, truthfulness, knowledge processing, prediction, general purpose, neutrality & objectivity, apolitical optimization, sustainability game-changer, democratization, mass unemployment, & the dualistic portrayal of AI as either a harbinger of societal utopia or dystopia. The article introduces the notion of "#Zeitgeist AI" to critique the misleading application of the term "AI" across various societal sectors. Then, by discussing the narratives with nuance, the article contextualises & deconstructs often assumed socio-political implications of AI, uncovering in detail and with examples the inherent political, #power infused & value-laden decisions within all AI applications."
