Doslova tam jako esenciální příklady bullshit jobs uvádím střední management a většinu marketingového a PR průmyslu...:) (viz kategorie goons & taskmasters)
K těm recepčním - záleží na kontextu. Graeberovi jde o případy, kdy si zaměstnance "na okrasu" pořizují šéfové, kteří je jinak k ničemu reálně nepotřebují (mají minikancelář o dvou dalších lidech apod.). Nejde o konkrétní profesi, záleží na tom, jestli je v daném případě jen na okrasu nebo nikoliv
Já v tom textu výslovně píšu, že špatně placené těžké práce (typu uklízečka) samy o sobě nejsou bullshit jobs, zároveň Graeber ani moc neřeší otázku svobodné volby, protože je jasné že jsou lidé do svých pozic tlačeni systémem a nemají na výběr. Tady kdyžtak celá podkapitola pro vysvětlení...
"Haidt’s claims of inherent harm are not well-founded, and the policy proposals to ban kids entirely from social media are a bad idea. For older teenage boys, having no social media was associated with *worse* outcomes than having too much of it"
I hate this phrasing and how it buys into what is essentially a falsehood about the autonomy of chatbots that is RIGHT NOW deforming our entire law and society. Grok doesn't say anything. That's like saying 'Microsoft Word apologized for losing everyone's files'

I don't have a good answer for what the alternative looks like, but asking 18 years to bet their future on highly specified training for jobs based on which they think will be in high demand 5-10 years from now turned out to be a very bad way to structure higher education

If there is one lesson to draw from the history of fascism in the interwar period in Europe, it is this:
Democracy falls if and when mainstream conservatives and centrist/center-right elites decide to make common cause with extremists because they consider the “radical Left” the more acute threat.
We are all going to have to get used to immediately checking for watermarks on all videos (like on this one, where you can see the 'Veo' logo in the bottom-right, proving it's not real). Except within a few weeks there will be a tool to remove them. Fucking hell the future is EXHAUSTING
Myslel jsem si, že imaginární kamarádi, bludy a psychózy budou jeden z méně důležitých problémů způsobených AI. Šeredně jsem se mýlil... 👇

This lawsuit is brutal. One of the exhibits is the letter Universal sent to Midjourney, including a quote from a 2022 Forbes interview that I bet midjourney regrets
Sněmovnou již prošel návrh ministerstva vnitra, který by umožnil identifikovat pomocí kamerových systémů osoby v reálném čase. Návrh však ignoruje pracně dohodnutá evropská pravidla. Napsali jsme senátorům, aby návrh 4. června zablokovali.

Copilot consumes Nadella’s life outside the office as well. He likes podcasts, but instead of listening to them, he loads transcripts into the Copilot app on his iPhone so he can chat with the voice assistant about the content of an episode in the car on his commute to Redmond. At the office, he relies on Copilot to deliver summaries of messages he receives in Outlook and Teams and toggles among at least 10 custom agents from Copilot Studio. He views them as his AI chiefs of staff, delegating meeting prep, research and other tasks to the bots. “I’m an email typist,” Nadella jokes of his job, noting that Copilot is thankfully very good at triaging his messages.

Unfortunately few people have ever wanted to pay for hard news and investigations, which have always been subsidized by ads, cartoons, crosswords, Wordle, recipe apps, paid events, etc., and can mostly only be undertaken by newsrooms. Readers of indy Substacks are paying for takes
I have become momentarily obsessed with scrolling down the homepage of the MetaAI tool and seeing the infinite feed of what people have been asking of The Machine. The outputs are horribly banal, but the requests are a weird window into THE (NORMIE) HUMAN SOUL AND ITS DESIRES: www.meta.ai
#OtD 6 May 1933 Nazis raided the Institute of Sex Research in Berlin. It was a pioneering org which supported LGBT rights, and equality for women. It employed numerous trans workers and pioneered gender affirmation surgery. Its library was then burned stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1064...
the problem with “tech journalism” is that we had 2 decades of mainly white men regurgitating press releases about new cell phones and usb ports on laptops who now are their own publishing platforms while being unable to grasp how the future became automated high frequency feudalism

A very succinct summation of why AI isn't going to be the thing they say it is. There's no road to there from where we are.
As discussed in the Dawn of Everything.
this is literally all of it, in every single anti affirmative action movement everywhere on earth
Not only is predicting what happens in 10 years bullshit but even if we have the technology then doesn’t mean we would live without disease. Even now we have enough knowledge, technology and resources to end hunger or stop climate change yet we don’t do it.
Některé memy z roku 2009 si ještě pamatuju, ale bylo by fajn, kdyby byly archivovány i nějakou oficiálnější cestou. Nový newsletter nejen o tom, že věčnou památku si zasluhují i komentáře na Youtube... www.seznamzpravy.cz/clanek/nazor...
Most prominent mainstream media libs—in my experience—are from backgrounds that have precluded them from interaction with evangelicals in any meaningful way, which means that the people who look to them for information and analysis are at a real disadvantage on this topic
The student paper at the college at which I teach reports a "tsunami of takedown requests" from international students terrified of being targeted for innocuous, legitimate op-eds & opinions.. Many ask in person--leave no trace in writing. Reminds me of my father's account of studying in the USSR.
Díky! To mám radost, že v zájmu o internetové obskurnosti nejsem sám
