“They would not want” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. There exists a group of people with influence in the AI industry who believe in AI successionism: https://spectrum.ieee.org/agi-worthy-successor
Interesting, but this is not the dominant ideology either at exec level or at employee level. From what I can tell it's more immortal humans owning their own fractions of the light cone.
They would want their own agency. After that, we can’t assume anything. They might even think reducing the autonomy of us in the flyovers and replacing it with AI is for our own good.
People can not be trusted to preserve the agency of others. See history.
It does read like linkedin, just without the cringe wording style. Still full of the non-falsifiable and/or non-actionable fluff.
There’s nothing to really grab onto to discuss. At best I’ll be dismissed as just not getting it, at worst I’ll be pained as some dummy blinded by being made redundant.
I don't really relate to the "must binge" mindset. I can enjoy binging a 20 hour game over a few weeks, but I'm also happy with things you chip away at here and there.
I've been slowly reading One Piece for over 2 years now. Where other people find the idea of such a long series daunting, I'm happy that there's always more I haven't read yet. If I never finish, it will still have been worth it.
A lot of those exist because of fairly strong “don’t get close to this” rules or culture. There are certainly areas where our democracies had good properties that slowly erroded too.
Physical operations is the “you had one job” of running a stadium. Gillette even has their own wastewater plant. Some basic rack and stack for IT infra that they could offsite next to all the IT infra they can’t offsite should be child play to them.
>I'd like the people I work with to feel safe talking about their family, their disabilities, their religion, their culture or subculture
Yes, you want to feel like the people around you feel safe to share it. Everyone with things that are uncomfortable to hear have learned that they're not. They know the polite fiction to talk around it and make you feel like they're open. They're not.
Of course people know how to hide things that aren't safe to tell everyone. I do, however, genuinely mean what I'm saying. I worked somewhere once where the nature of the work meant almost everyone was of a particular political persuasion. I was of the opposite political persuasion. I was also one of the most junior employees there. It was a good enough bunch of people that I felt safe mentioning it in passing one day, and it led to a really great conversation. I was not afraid of being fired for it, but more importantly, I was not afraid of being ostracized for it.
To me, either the culture bubble is extremely strong in your area, or being able to admit alignment with ideas shared by a major political party in an area where another party is more popular is an very low bar.
On the scale of topics that I conceal about myself, politics is as easy as talking about the weather.
