#China has decided that firing a worker because an #AI can do their job is illegal. No Western country has done the same. - https://thenextweb.com/news/china-court-ai-layoffs-illegal-labor-law

Chinese courts rule AI replacement is not legal grounds for firing workers as global tech layoffs hit 78,000

Two Chinese courts ruled that AI adoption is a business choice, not grounds for termination. The US and EU have no equivalent protection. The gap is deliberate.

“Right now there is someone firing up ChatGPT because it’s cheap. Right now there is someone writing a prompt in Claude because it brings him closer to his co-workers. Right now there is someone walking a co-worker through his agentic workflow, in the same way we attempted to impress one another by blowing smoke rings. Right now there is someone parking a Cybertruck on your street, believing that leaving his divorce where everyone can see it is somehow impressive. We have always been good at ignoring the warnings that came with the pack.”

How to smoke

I used to love to smoke. If it weren’t for the whole lung cancer, emphysema, death thing, would you recommend smoking?

Say hello to AI surveillance! 🫣 #Meta will start tracking its employees for AI training.

In the US, the Tech Giant will track employees' clicks, typing, & navigation with the aims to build #AI that can do routine tasks autonomously.

For us, this sounds like a dystopian workplace!

What do you think about this announcement & the future of AI in the workplace?

Meta wants to track its employees – to replace them with AI in the future? | Tuta

In April 2026, Meta announced the company’s next step: The installation of a tracking software on its employees’ desktops to train its AI. Is this already the end of privacy and the beginning of surveillance in our workplace? In this post you can find out more about Meta’s recent announcement and its implications for privacy.

Tools like Claude Design have an assumption baked into them: that "productivity" is fungible, and more "productivity" of artifacts leads to more value.

But if anything, the problem is that there are too MANY artifacts — and decision-making within your company begins to take on a "garbage can" model.

The solution for designers is to step out of clock time work, and think on calendar time.

Claude Design is a "clock time" solution for a "calendar time" problem

Orgs are betting that they can substitute sense-making with faster artifact delivery. Users are paying the price.

When the AI bubble bursts, people are going to suffer from how it hits the economy. Unless OpenAI can somehow pull a Tesla.

I spoke with @KarlBode about coverage of tech and how the industry uses narratives for financial engineering.

It's certainly ironic that the next thing I will ask an LLM is 'how to opt out of #AI in Ubuntu".
