The rise of AI is disrupting labor markets at an unprecedented pace, driving down wages and eliminating entire professions faster than new ones can emerge. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/02/25/world/when-paid-work-disappears/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #artificialintelligence #ai #jobs #employment #globaleconomy
Natsume Soseki’s belief that true expression transcends literal wording supports the point that AI handling translation frees people to create rather than convert language. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/02/25/japan/sorry-soseki-i-wish-we-had-ai-translation-aeons-ago/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #natsumesoseki #guntergrass #artificialintelligence #translations #books #writing
I think in silicon valley they haven't heard this one yet:
A farmer is lying on his deathbed. When asked if he has any last wishes, he dramatically raises his hand and utters his last words: "MORE LAND!"
It fits every farmer I know. And then #AI data-center #tech companies have the audacity to offer millions to buy farmland?
Didn’t end well for them ;)

OpenAI is a menace. Two recent stories make that clearer than ever.
One day you have Sam Altman denigrating humanity to defend AI. The next, WSJ reveals OpenAI could have alerted Canadian police of a potential mass shooter, but refused pressure from employees. That person went on to kill 8 people.

Ladybird adopts Rust, with help from AI
https://ladybird.org/posts/adopting-rust
"I used Claude Code and Codex for the translation. This was human-directed, not autonomous code generation. I decided what to port, in what order, and what the Rust code should look like. It was hundreds of small prompts, steering the agents where things needed to go. After the initial translation, I ran multiple passes of adversarial review, asking different models to analyze the code for mistakes and bad patterns."
There are so many problems with this. Don't get me wrong, I also used AI in the past for coding in languages I'm not experienced in to help me out, but I do it with awareness, try to keep the usage to a minimum, and preferably use more ethical ways to use AI that provide the least benefit to corporations like OpenAI, Anthropic, and co.
But the author doesn't seem to be aware and does not point out the issues with the way he has done it. His only concern seemed to be the code quality, which is a valid concern here, but he didn't seem to have thought much about the waste of resources, copyright infringement, ethical issues, and the support of companies with major illegal practices.

Why agentic AI creeps out women: because it's written by bros for bros who want Stepford Wives, and conveys that vibe: commercial AIs are fine-tuned to perform as cheerfully submissive handmaids, not working partners:
