finished S2 of #WhiteCollar...the bourgeoisie still don't like giving up their fancy art paintings and even though they shackle the proletariat with monitoring devices, it just takes a man with a paintbrush and odd sidekick to fool them.

obv a precursor to today's #AI which turns the bourgeois table and needs neither brush or sidekick to fool the masses while tracking everything and everyone—ripping everyone off.

“The #UK #tech sector is cutting #graduate #jobs dramatically – down 46 percent in the past year, with another 53 percent drop projected, according to figures from the Institute of Student Employers (#ISE).

The culprit? #AI is already doing the entry-level work graduates used to perform like routine #coding, #DataAnalysis, and basic #digital tasks. #Companies still need tech #talent, but they're hiring experienced #workers instead of #training newcomers.”

finished rewatching S1 of #WhiteCollar.

it's about a bourgeois attempt to slap an electronic tracking device on the ankles of production

“In August Google said it had cut 35% of its managers overseeing teams of fewer than three. In September Fiverr, a freelancing marketplace, said it would shed #managers to focus more on artificial intelligence (#ai). Amazon has been trimming all year in its effort to improve efficiency—most recently in July, at its cloud-computing arm. Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg has been complaining about “managers managing managers” since 2023.

And that’s just in #tech. So far this year phrases relating to “reducing #management layers” have been mentioned 98 times on the earning calls of companies in s&p’s global stockmarket index, twice as often as in the whole of 2022.”
