This is not the AI boom creating a new type of work, this is a classic example of managers using automation to deskill old ones. Creative workers who once made a higher wage creating original art and writing are now paid in piecework to edit automated output. Bosses are using AI to cut labor costs.
The AI boom has created a new type of work: fixing botched AI. Designers are being hired to remake wonky AI art. Writers are asked to make ChatGPT’s writing sound more human. Even software developers are tasked with fixing buggy vibe coding.

Just finished listening to the excellent book Airborne by @carlzimmer.com. Very well written - compelling and informative! Was really struck how the default state of science seems to be “confidently incorrect.” Also by how progress is often blocked by people being unpleasant and hard to work with.

I just finished listening to the Memory Palace audiobook from @natedimeo.bsky.social. What a lovely piece of art! It is a masterclass in empathy. Beautifully written and skillfully read. Everyone should read(hear) this and learn from it. The world would be a better place, I’m sure of it

This is such a steaming pile. They should go look up “induced demand,” realize they’re being stupid and then go set up congestion pricing like we should have from the start. Adding more cars doesn’t improve traffic. idiots
Can Toronto fix its gridlock issues? The Toronto Region Board of Trade has an action plan that says ‘yes’
Toronto Region Board of Trade releases action plan to fix congestion in the city
It takes drivers on Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway up to twice as long to navigate a five kilometre stretch during rush hour when compared to off-peak times.
