  • they probably don't want to be accountable for serious damage claims. They do it for people's attention. To materially disrupt data center construction you need a lot more than a single action

  • you can unionize with the rest of the workers. They are called "wall to wall unions" when you do not organize by department/profession but by company. In some countries they are the norm.

  • that's why you do union organizing with organizers and not with edgy teenagers.

  • both coops and unionized companies operate within a capitalist structure and on the market (usually). Neither model can emancipate itself from its context. So I'm not sure about what aspect you expect to be different. And coops can be run with good governance where power structures are explicit, managed and democratically altered to reflect the values of the members. The case where you have few people controlling everything is a dysfunction, it's not part of the model (and also can happen with unions).

  • This has nothing to do with personal consumption. Consumer politics are not going to do anything about AI

  • join tech workers coalition or no tech for apartheid. There's a lot of behind the scene work they do at a global level that doesn't require any exposure

  • well, from where else should come the power to interject with the company's plans if not from forming unions? Like what does it mean to hold a company accountable if you have no leverage? Quitting and making a post on social media about it?

  • The author is Italian teaching in Canada. While it's true that in the USA democratic structures in the workplace are less common than elsewhere, I think the author is presenting the phenomenon in a rethorical fashion to motivate workers to fight the new forms of Authorian control in the workplace.

  • quitting doesn't halt the baby-grinding machine. Big tech can only be stopped from the inside. I even know some people getting hired there exclusively to cause trouble. You should respect their commitment rather than anything else.

  • Spotify vs. Anna's Archive

    Jump

  • since botting is so easy, probably they used a lot of accounts to access data that, in theory, is somewhat public. I mean, in an ideal world in which engineers have infinite time sure, they would have noticed, but I do investigations on platform apps for work and trust me, they miss a lot of more fundamental stuff.

  • Spotify vs. Anna's Archive

    Jump

  • spotify has a whole economy of bots signing up, uploading fake songs listened by other bots and earning lot of money in the process. I know several people living out of this. A little army of scraper bots is definitely not what they should be the most concerned about.
