Semi-related to the AI discourse... I feel like someone should do a guide "Go Home Earlier with AI - The Workers Strike Back" The follow up is already titled! "How To Defend Work Time Fraud Accusations with AI - Your Boss Didn't Like That"

Convincing the people to support AI? Done.
INTRODUCING THE WORLD'S FIRST CHIEF EXECUTIVE REPLACEMENT ENGINE

Your CEO costs $22,000,000 a year.
We cost $4,699.
Once.

nanami (leaving the apartment): "be good girls. don't do strange things!" the good girls:
Grainy night-vision surveillance footage of a modern apartment kitchen at 1:37 AM. The image has a green infrared tint, with a timestamp in the upper-right corner and the filename “DCR_27183.jpg” in the upper-left. A black cat with glowing reflective eyes sits on the edge of a kitchen island in the foreground, staring directly at the camera. A second identical black cat sits on the floor in the center of the room, also facing the camera with bright, eerie eyes. On the right side, a fluffy cream-colored long-haired cat is halfway disappearing into a glowing circular portal embedded in the kitchen cabinets; only its hindquarters, tail, and back remain visible outside the portal. In the dark doorway beyond the kitchen, a third hidden black cat is almost completely concealed by shadow, visible only as a faint pair of reflective eyes watching from the darkness. The scene looks unsettling but realistic, like security footage capturing a strange supernatural event involving cloned cats and an interdimensional portal.

You shouldn't resist AI. You should resist who controls it and why. You should resist that the goal is not to reduce your labor or increase even a single aspect making your life more meaningful. You should resist demanding crumbs when you make the pie.

Extremely good article by Jacobin on the topic of data centers, critical of "just blocking their build-outs": "The fact that companies are desperate for power can potentially be leveraged to get them to finance some of the grid build-out that we need for decarbonization."

Democratic Governance of AI Is the Real Solution
The potential for catastrophic effects from the AI boom demands robust deliberation and real democratic governance. Localized initiatives like data center moratoria won't get us there.
