Was reading a post about the ways workers are resisting AI. It was going so well until I got to:

When we have games industry employees resorting to Soviet-era tactics just to share tips on dodging AI usage--avoiding an overseer that's literally recording everything they type at their keyboards--what are we even doing here?

Amazing how the Soviet Union keeps on living rent free in the heads of people who are supposedly critical of capitalism, while analyzing capitalism doing capitalist things capitalistically.

This comes up so often that I've started to think it's a sort of coping mechanism to reflect a Thing to an Other as to not admit that it has always been this way.

Anyway, it's so tiring.
