The claim "you won't be replaced by AI, but by a person using AI" is nonsense. The Block layoff victims were some of the most productive, #llm pilled people in the company, but it didn't save them, because that's not what layoffs are about.
The layoff script goes, as always:
- overhire
- lay everyone off
- pretend it's because of #AI productivity gains
- stock go up
There is no individual solution that will protect you from bad leadership and cost cutting.

#Meta to cut 10% of staff as it pours billions into #AI
Meta said Thursday it plans to lay off roughly 10% of its workforce, or about 8,000 people, the latest in a string of #tech industry #layoffs fueled in part by #ArtificialIntelligence.
The company is also closing around 6,000 open roles, Janelle Gale, Meta’s chief people officer, wrote in a memo published by Bloomberg.
The layoffs will go into effect on May 20.

Digg's short-lived reboot is on pause, and a sizeable proportion of staff is being laid off, but the story isn't over. Founder Kevin Rose sold the company in 2012 but repurchased it, alongside Alexis Ohanian, in 2025, relaunching it in open beta in January 2026 as "the front page of the internet, now with superpowers." However, it was pulled from the app store today, with CEO Justin Mezzell citing the "brutal reality of finding product fit" and an "unprecedented bot problem." What now? Rose will return to Digg full time to figure out next steps. Here's @Sarahp's story for @Techcrunch.

The UK isn’t a vassal state of America.
Yet Trump wants to punish us over a digital services tax.
This can be resolved by ditching US Big Tech from our digital infrastructure.
We should invest in open source to promote economic growth through greater innovation and a more competitive tech sector.

THIS IS MADNESS
you know how people have traditionally created custom feeds of information from the web? using apps that parse RSS & ATOM files.
🗣YOU DO NOT NEED TO CODE TO USE RSS
Bluesky is the one supposed to do the coding, not users.
there is absolutely no justification nor rationalization for using #Bluesky. NONE WHATSOEVER. Bluesky is the “gentler, kindler” #nazi bar that will burn down whole forests, dry up all rivers instead of using open web standards.
#Bluesky has launched #Attie, an #AIpowered app that allows users to create custom feeds by typing commands in natural language. Built on the AT Protocol, Attie leverages #Anthropic’s #Claude and is designed to be user-friendly, enabling people to curate #personalisedfeeds without coding knowledge. https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/28/bluesky-leans-into-ai-with-attie-an-app-for-building-custom-feeds/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

TWO THINGS:
1. it’s shocking how well written this terms of service document is. #Microslop uses plain language and proper emphatic formatting to identify what’s important.
2. this was updated on October 24, 2025. since then NOT ONE TECH JOURNALIST has read it; because, not one tech "journalist" has reported that #Copilot IS MEANT AS #ENTERTAINMENT.
