When you have kids protesting because *they want to study more* the response should be “yes, of course we’ll get you more teachers, heat in classrooms, repair holes in walls, fix water leaks, and clean the school.” <— literally what they are asking for! 🇫🇷force out Macron and the Secretary of Ed

It’s not better for the generations after us, who are watching every one of their career ambitions disappear in real time before they even get to start them There are students right now on their third or fourth change of major, as the funding keeps getting cut and the rugs keep getting pulled

I feel like we don’t talk about millennials in particular, hitting our 40s - in earlier generations many of us would be reaching the peak of our careers, but because of disaster after disaster, locust after locust eating our industries, many of us are on our 3rd or 4th fresh start.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green looks at Blue as Blue is dramatically laying down on the floor.
Blue: You can go ahead and go to that party. I'll just be here by my self, alone.

Green looks at Blue with a frustrated frown, as Blue sticks his tongue out while making a disgusted face.
Green: You could also come with me.
Blue: I don't like people.

Green raises an eyebrow.
Green: Don't I count as "people?"
Blue: Of course not. You're the love of my life.

We see in internal data that it’s driving people crazy and contributing to burnout and low morale. The impact on product output is hard to quantify directly, but overall quality… it ain’t great. The contrast between this reality and the doomer hype narrative is hard to convey to people.

“AI” IS impacting labor, but not in the ways you think. In some cases, people generating “workslop” are making their colleagues’ jobs more difficult. Snippet from my video Myths of AI and Productivity, in which we at dispel 5 common myths around AI and labor. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BO0...
There are three stacked screenshots from a video of Alex, a brown trans woman, sitting on a pink chair and speaking into the camera while holding a small microphone. She has short black curly hair and is wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt and light tan pants. Behind her is a cat-shaped pillow with an image of a tuxedo cat on it, and behind her chair are rows of books on a light blue wall. Underneath are captions from the video that say: “But generative AI can also reduce wages in other ways, namely by punishing workers who use the tools and pass on ‘workslop’ to their colleagues.”, “...researchers report that receiving generative AI text or images from colleagues results in lower perceptions of the competence of their colleagues.” and “Getting slop from your colleague makes you think worse of them. And if those workers are women or older, or people of color, then it confirms their co-workers’ biases against them.”

A lot of things make me feel kind of dumb, including how to take at face value the logic of “we are a multibillion dollar transnational industry building a vengeful elder god, and we definitely won’t stop unless you regulate us the way we want, which is a secret.”

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

A China central banker is worried that AI will make businesses more productive than consumers can absorb. It’s like if Ford suddenly could make 20x more cars, that wouldn’t help them because there aren’t enough customers. Being more productive doesn’t matter without customer demand to go with it.

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

The SaaSpocalypse is essentially over. SAAS companies like Salesforce and Workday have mostly recovered from the crashes in their stock prices when investors assumed customers would vibe code alternatives. I think investors overestimated what will happen this year and underestimate the future.

Software companies have shown they can be beneficiaries of AI, rather than easy targets for it, though some risks remain

Technology being everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere. The tech industry wants us to believe that AI in early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We don't see it that way. This week, we announced a moratorium on generative AI for public school students in 2-K to 8th grade.
We’re eliminating AI use for students in 2-K through 8th grade for the upcoming school year.
