💸 #LinkedIn suit les visites sur les pages de profil. Mais pour savoir qui a consulté son profil, il faut payer. Nous avons donc déposé une plainte contre l'entreprise et proposons qu'une amende lui soit infligée.

Congrats! Your new job is: arguing with a bot. Multiple bots. And people outsourcing their brain to bots. But mostly bots.

Sometimes you have to social engineer the bots to do your bidding. Sometimes you have to pit the bots against each other. But make no mistake, it's arguing with the bots.

That, and email. And meetings.

How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such people in't.

- Sinon, tu fais quoi ces derniers temps ?

- Je mets à jour.

‘The cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees’: Nvidia executive says right now AI is more expensive than paying human workers https://fortune.com/2026/04/28/nvidia-executive-cost-of-ai-is-greater-than-cost-of-employees/

Nobody is saying the loud part because they are too deep into AI now. They know teh only way to keep going is to pretend everything is working as promised. This is how the dot-com era happened & the upcoming AI bubble crash will too. They are disconnected from our reality. There is no cure for AI psychosis at CEO levels 😂

This is *brutal*...

"There are no more juniors. There was a funeral for their passing in 2024. Nobody came. The machine does what they do now, but cheaper. Of course, juniors weren't valuable for what they produced, they were valuable for who they would become: the senior engineer who knows where the bodies are buried. We optimized for output, and abolished apprenticeship. A few years from now, we'll wonder where all the seniors are. We shot them. Nobody will remember."
