You know why we Germans are so pedantic about data protection? Someone around 90 years ago went through all records available, selected people with certain criteria, with the help of IBM, and then killed them all.

We don't want to be on any list.

And now the US Gov and Musk are trying to get access to all data they have about every person and put them into a big fat DB and run AI over it.

I am afraid what they will do with that.

Thanks to the magic of the Streisand effect, I just heard about #CarelessPeople - a book by former Meta employee Sarah Wynn-Williams.

Apparently the company is FREAKING OUT and seeking legal ways to stop its promotion. I can see why. This article about it in the Times made my jaw drop: https://web.archive.org/web/20250310221013/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/books/review/careless-people-sarah-wynn-williams.html

I will definitely order it at my local bookshop.

to be clear, when a recruiter, manager, or ceo says someone is a "genius programmer" or "10x" or similar

they mean "someone who works 80 hour weeks and we only pay them for 40"

every time

Eine meiner engsten Freundinnen, Mitte Dreißig, ursprünglich aus Bangladesh, sucht schon länger einen Job als Datenanalystin. Sie hat sich bereits sehr viel beworben und macht sehr gute Arbeit. Ich hab's erlebt. Man könnte fast meinen, es liegt an anderen Indikatoren, warum sie es so schwer am deutschen Arbeitsmarkt hat.

Sie sucht in Berlin oder remote.
Und zieht ab Mai einen Job im Verkauf in Betracht...🤬

Weiß jemand was? Ich will, dass sie hierbleibt 😭.
