Downwind of Truth with Kait Justice

These people seem quite intent on proving to everyone that the market is, in fact, extremely irrational, and the least effective way to distribute resources that humankind has ever invented.

Fokke & Sukke staan in de file voor de grensontrole

Gewoon mijn eigen universiteit die haar duizenden medewerkers in de nieuwsbrief vertelt dat we niet 'slim', 'efficiƫnt' of 'creatief' zijn tenzij we met AI werken. Serieus, de moed zinkt me in de schoenen van deze visieloze middelmatigheid en onderwaardering van onze expertise.

Ik denk erover om een eigen opleidingsinstituut te beginnen met cursussen als:

1. Slimmer schrijven zonder generatieve AI
2. Efficiƫnter en creatiever lesgeven zonder AI

De paradox is pijnlijk: terwijl we rijker zijn dan ooit, voelen steeds meer mensen zich overbodig. Niet winstgevend genoeg. Niet flexibel genoeg. Niet productief genoeg. Alsof menselijke waarde samenvalt met marktwaarde. In talkshows spreken we over ā€˜de belastingdruk’ en ā€˜de kosten van vergrijzing’. Zelden over de kosten van ontmenselijking. Wanneer die logica het publieke domein overneemt, verschuift ook onze taal. Solidariteit wordt naĆÆef. Zorg wordt duur.

Verrotting

D e geur van verrotting ontstaat zelden plotseling. Eerst ruik je niets. Dan wen je eraan. In Nederland noemen we het geen verval. We noemen het hervorming. Modernisering. Efficiƫntie. Maar onder die technocratische taal schuilt iets dat ongemakkelijker is: een samenl...
