🗨️ Tom décrit son parcours de travailleur pauvre, obligé de faire des pauses au RSA, pour souffler et récupérer entre deux périodes d’exploitation.
🗣️ Il dépeint l’absurde, chronophage et anxiogène dédale bureaucratique que lui a fait emprunter la cellule de contrôle RSA ainsi que son impitoyable modus operandi, destiné à épuiser et faire craquer les allocataires pour qu’ils renoncent à leurs droits.

“A rat race is for rats. We’re not rats. We’re human beings.”
Shipyard union leader James Reid was elected Rector of the University of Glasgow in 1971. He gave his rectorial address #OTD, 28 April, 1972. The New York Times reprinted it, & called it the greatest political speech since the Gettysburg Address. Read it online at

‘The art of logic therefore being (as we have mentioned), too late a precaution,[1] and in no way remedying[7] the matter, has tended more to confirm errors, than to disclose truth. Our only remaining hope and salvation is to begin the whole labor of the mind again; not leaving it to itself, but directing it perpetually from the very first, and attaining our end as it were by mechanical aid.’ Lord Bacon’s MCMII, Novum Organon #Art #Logic #Philosophy #Mechanisation #Experimentation #Alienation #Ai #ApocalypseEmpires #AbnormalEthics #ForItsOwnSake !

🔹 Alienation. (This was super well put.) The worker creates the product, but doesn't own the product. The moment the product is finished, the worker loses their relation to it. The product becomes more valuable than the worker, and thus more powerful. So the more the worker works, the more he loses value and power. The objectification of labour means the loss of realisation for workers.
This reminded me a lot of the Rana Plaza disaster (garment-factory building in Bangladesh that collapsed, killing more than 1000 workers). These workers make clothes, absolutely not for themselves, and their lives are valued less than the product.
"Chatbots can be regarded as subjects without subjectivity because they lack those characteristics that make us actual subjects in the first place: biographically shaped trajectories of the past, which are themselves preconditions for self-reflection and, with it, for efforts at social transformation. AI’s responses do not arise from actual experience but from the statistical aggregation of other people’s pasts.
Whereas human subjectivity essentially involves reflection on one’s own past and is therefore capable of self-transformation, the chatbot merely reproduces the dominant thinking of the documented past. In this sense, it tends toward the stabilization and reproduction of the status quo.
For instance, as highlighted by AI ethics expert Zinnya del Villar, language models like GPT and BERT often associate jobs such as “nurse” with women and “scientist” with men, reflecting stereotypes embedded in their training data from historical texts and media. Similarly, when trained on past hiring examples rife with bias — such as résumés favoring men for technical roles — these systems perpetuate gender discrimination by filtering applications in ways that reinforce outdated norms, rather than innovating beyond them through critical reflection."
