I think about slavery all the time, almost literally, and I'd never connected tech to it. Now I can't believe I hadn't. My mind is kind of blown.

I’m just going to stop paying my debts. The government took my tax dollars and created a digital employee model that they refuse to regulate and is currently causing massive layoffs in every sector.

It’s one thing to subsidize “job creators.” It’s something entirely different to subsidize “job destroyers.”

SB-1047 should have passed, and when it didn’t, it appears as if the government itself is trying to make sure I can’t find work in my field ever again.

This isn’t a conspiracy. This is my real life. My professor used Chat-GPT for syllabus creation, told his students to use it as well, and then I discovered a 500-image trove of student works that had been used for generative-AI content training.

It’s blatant. I feel as if I’ve been stabbed in the back.
