🏴🚩Jeudi prochain c'est la journée internationale des travailleur·ses.
L'occasion de rappeler que, dans le jeu vidéo ou ailleurs, ce sont les travailleur·ses qui produisent et qui connaissent leur travail, et donc ce sont les travailleur·ses qui doivent décider de ce qui est produit et comment !

I love these silicon valley bros that think ChatGPT has achieved some kind of sentience and therefore might have rights.
Like dudes, you don't even think poor people deserve rights, let's try to achieve that before giving person-hood to the autocomplete algorithm.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.
