Robots were supposed to take our jobs. Instead, they’re making them worse.

In 2020, Josh Dzieza at the Verge outlined the various ways artificial intelligence, software, and machines are managing workers at places such as call centers, warehouses, and software development shops. He described one remote engineer in Bangladesh who was monitored by a program that took three pictures of him every 10 minutes to make sure he was at his computer, and a call center worker who learned to say “sorry” a lot to customers in order to meet an artificial intelligence-based empathy monitor. A web of technologies has enabled the management of every minute of the working day.

Soldiers watch the US withdrawal from Bagram Airfield through the lens of Pokemon Go

KABUL, Afghanistan — Digital rodents and abandoned Pokemon presided over the streets of Bagram Airfield on the day news broke that U.S. troops had left the base.

All U.S. forces have left Bagram, which for much of the past 20 years was the largest military base in Afghanistan, U.S. defense officials announced Friday. But the animated critters and some of what’s left on base are visible in digitally animated form through the game app Pokemon Go.

The game allows players to walk to real-life locations and catch or battle digital monsters, who can be found using the app’s barebones version of Google Maps. Some of the Pokemon left by U.S. soldiers remain at their posts.

Quote

Screenshots of Bagram after the troops left show low-level Pokemon, normally easily defeated, stuck guarding locations, perhaps indefinitely. A tiny Lotad has defended the former Warrior Chapel at Bagram for 10 days, while a lowly Aron has defended a memorial to a fallen servicemember for about two weeks.

Still, Sutter said he assumes someone from Afghanistan will take over his gym, someday, if they haven’t already.

“I’m sure somewhere in Afghanistan, some kid is bragging about how he took control of an American Pokemon gym,” he said.

I like how 'equality, diversity and inclusivity' basically means you have to treat minorities like autisty toddlers who can't speak out for themselves.

It seems very racist to me to automatically assume that every non-white non-cis-gendered person is unable to manage on their own.

I would also be very uncomfortable if people starting treating me that way.

I've noticed this too. Some products that are in smaller packages are like almost empty and other things I run out of much quicker.
Plus there's new packaging for a bunch of products that is 'eco friendly' or whatever but all much smaller.

End of the line for Uber

Quote

Uber’s cash reserves declined by $4.7b in 2020 and $937m more in the first half of 2021. They’ve got $6.7b in the bank, down from $14.6b in 2019. To increase the appearance of a pony under this shit, Uber’s invented a new field of accounting: “Adjusted EBITDA profitability.”

EBITDA is “earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.”

“Adjusted EBITDA” is “bullshit.”

…

The company has committed another $100m to a Prop 22-style ballot initiative in Massachusetts, which will formalize worker misclassification, ban unionization, and destroy workers' lives. The sooner Uber dies, the better.
