To be clear, I am not in favour of strikebreaking, I support labour rights, and I don't refer to employees as 'assets' or 'resources'. And so I cn see where Molly White is coming from when she criticizes Feedly's new media campaign designed to appal to corporate and enterprise customers. You have to speak the right language and express the right values to market at this level, and the language and values are anti-worker and anti-human. i really wish Feedly would rethink its rhetoric. But let's not assume that this tech - or any tech - is not going to be used to suppress labour. it's what business does, because it views wages and benefits as a 'cost' rather than 'the only reason for being in business'. The Feedly campaign reflects society, and not anything specific about AI. Via Ton Zijlstra.
