“A venture capital-backed ‘AI performance monitoring system for factory workers’ is proposing what appears to be dehumanizing surveillance of factories, where machine vision tracks workers’ hand movements and output so a boss can look at graphs and yell at them about efficiency.”

404 Media · Y Combinator Supports AI Startup Dehumanizing Factory WorkersOptifye.ai's pitch includes a video where a "boss" yells at a "worker" by calling him a number, and sarcastically saying he's having a bad month.

The #techbros are saying most of the quiet part out loud now: The #AI endgame is worker #dystopia (followed by mass replacement by machines). Even #Ycombinator is embarrassed for saying that this technology benefits workers.

C-c-c-conjecturing, and dealing with recursion in Emacs (more excursus)

Another blog post, this one not tagged as part of the lambda-calculus series because it doesn't directly deal with lambda-calculus, but it follows on from Part 2, dealing with issues of recursion, and building up towards the #YCombinator and other #lambdacalculus issues.

Some fun things evaluating the efficiency of implementing different functions in #Elisp (with metrics!), and some fun images/visualisations of an interesting function.

🚨Index of 68 Weapons Startups🚨 This document illustrates the venture capital military and weapons build-out. Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund (Peter Thiel’s VC firm) and YCombinator are the biggest drivers of the industry’s new era of militarization. They are working to move weapons production from existing primes – Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, etc. – into venture capital-backed startups. This transition is accelerated by Trump’s election as venture capital weapons executives move to take control. https://www.vcinfodocs.com/weapons-startups #WhiteHouseCoup #LockheedMartin #Anduril #YCombinator #Raytheon #AndreessenHorowitz #a16z #FoundersFund
