People like to say “if you died tomorrow, your company would hire your replacement you within a week”.
I say that’s a bald-faced lie. We all know two of your existing coworkers would inherit your workload because of the hiring freeze, and management would be thanking everyone for their resilience before your body was even in the ground.

Corporations: If you raise the minimum wage, we’ll have to raise prices! If we let our workers unionize, we’ll have to raise prices! If you tax us, we’ll have to raise prices!
Also Corporations: (continues to raise prices without any of those things happening)

Most people in France can't afford housing.
They didn't blame immigrants, or transgender people, or video games, or avocado toast.
They blame the government. Because that's who's responsible. That's always who's responsible.

The idea that we need businessmen in politics because they’ll “run the government like a business” has NEVER made sense to me.
A COUNTRY IS NOT A CORPORATION. CITIZENS ARE NOT CUSTOMERS. AND HUMAN LIVES ARE NOT PROFIT MARGINS.
The government’s responsibility is to SERVE the people, not maximize profits, protect shareholders, or treat basic human needs like financial liabilities.
PUBLIC SERVICE IS NOT A BUSINESS MODEL. HUMANITY SHOULD ALWAYS COME BEFORE PROFIT.

Saw this last week. Comprehensive documentary on the richest and one of the most powerful people in the world. You should know a little more about him than you do.
Knowledge is power. 💫 In MUSK, Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney delivers a jaw-dropping, informative, and yet endlessly entertaining "examination of the world's richest megalomaniac" (@IndieWire). Now playing in NY and LA. Nationwide Friday! #MuskMovie

I did want a flying car—when I was seven.
Now I want a stable climate, clean drinking water and for kids to not live in fear of being bombed.

Pleased to announce @Curaffairs has put in place one of the strictest anti-AI policies in publishing.
Newsrooms across the country are embracing AI writing and laying off writers. Our magazine is doing the opposite, ensuring we remain handmade.

This is fine. I've been told by many billionaires that Ai is not actually illegal theft. Carry on.
BREAKING: A developer used AI to build free, open-source alternatives to Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
Brandon Thomas, creator of ArtCraft, a suite of free tools meant to replace Adobe’s apps, built GridCraft, DeckCraft and WordCraft with Anthropic’s Claude, per Tom’s Hardware.
All three are free to download on GitHub.

Un bloguero mostró que las entrevistas laborales en 2026 ya se realizan sin personas. La empresa envió a la videollamada a un reclutador de IA, el bloguero respondió conectando a su agente de IA y salió del encuadre.
Las redes neuronales siguieron discutiendo la vacante durante un rato más sin humanos. Al final, ambas se colgaron y comenzaron a despedirse infinitamente la una de la otra.
Distópico.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Video from a comedic experiment by blogger Graham Dot Zip, in which he creates a scenario himself with AI agents to demonstrate it, and does not show a real job interview from a company.

When we started responding to Russia’s operation against our data centers, and when our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations.
Because there were fewer bots. And it’s pretty clear where those bots were coming from – if they disappeared when Yandex went offline. This proves, again and again, that Europe is not the source of the problems. Europe is not the one making everything more difficult.
Most importantly, we need people in America, every morning, when the day in Europe is already moving toward evening, to really see what is happening. To see the truth.
