Craig Gent then joins, diving right into the mass proliferation of AI and algorithmic practices, not as a replacement for physical or technical labor, but as a replacement for management, exploring how the traditional role of human managers of overseeing a workplace has been replaced with automated systems that employ everything from gamification to surveillance and punishment to keep production in line with neoliberal aims of endless growth. Expanding on this, Gent walks through how these systems serve to further atomize and isolate an already alienated workforce, creating a supposedly infallible system that dictates their every move and completely obfuscates the power dynamics at play, resulting in a working environment with little to no space for agency, dignity, or solidarity, before briefly touching on how workers are desperately seeking for any way to leverage agency in these workspaces. Craig also highlights the pressing need for unions to open up their awareness to the threat of this technology, not as a tool that COULD be used to exploit them, but as ones that were explicitly created TO exploit them, working to suppress and pull back the exploitative nature of these systems rather than attempting to “share” in the benefit of this exploitation. Emma also tackles Bill Ackman’s defense of Trump’s appreciation of Adolf Hitler.
