CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@carnage4life It's less that some jobs are pointless, lack meaning, or don't emit value. Our billing systems are shifting from accounting for hours (and tokens) to measurable outcomes. Like just in time factory inventory, this pushes the cost of slack upstream, onto workers. That slack time is where people think, bond, study, dream, renew, become wiser - neither measurable nor valued.

@carnage4life Underutilized workers are slack in the office factory, a resource hard and costly to source but necessary when called for. Temp/contract/gig work eroded that. Remote work widened the talent pool, cutting friction more. And now we're spinning up specialists.

@Daojoan seems less measurable than "the only people who should run companies that make money are people who deeply give a fuck about money. Only people who love money and love making money should run companies that make money." I keep thinking of the corruption of idealistic young Andreesen to Oligarch Andreesen.

Kids are citizens too. And civic life, learning what's going on and using your freedoms of speech and assembly, is thru computers. This steps on constitutionally protected civil rights from the first amendment on...

@Natasha_Jay and we're closer to 2050 than 2000.

@skinnylatte ... Writing thru some cognitive dissonance?

@Nonilex didn't the courts just curtail his ability to regulate trade?

@molly0xfff Encourage all your agentic friends to do the same, and to feel guilty if they don't.
