It's interesting that 5Rights focus shifted completely from rights to surveillance and control. Back in 2017 they still thought about a rights framework [1], the website has since …

I'm surprised there is no breakdown of "with skills" (framework) and without. In my experience, apart from human readability, the ability of a model to follow strict skill rules is…

Linking Graeber's Bullshift Jobs to Workism via his concept of "spiritual violence" would have been a nice touch because it explains the drain despite the performativity (or what B…

My experience is similar, people succeed with Loveable or similar platforms because they don't need to know _deployment_ and _runtime_ experience. It's like using Adobe vs Canva, m…
