Sacrifice your job for the glorious AI future How tech CEOs use the threat of job loss to distract from how AI is really used against workers

Perplexity’s CEO is just the latest tech leader to tell the public their jobs will be sacrificed on the altar of the glorious AI future.

It’s a compelling narrative, but it distracts us from the real impact of AI: not to take the human out of the loop, but to take away their power and cut their pay

Full house? In an alternate reality, probably.

Fascinating story by @charlesrusnell.bsky.social on intersection of AI and foreign interference in Alberta’s separation campaign. It raises many troubling questions. Who is paying for AI slop disinformation? And who is consuming it? And how on earth can those on the No side compete? #ableg #abpoli

Oh, i see!

Apartments and townhouses are homes too!

Thanks for sharing :)

If you know someone in Edmonton looking to buy their first home, Ximena is a journalist writing a story and looking for interviews on this!
Shares appreciated. Thanks.

Someone looking to buy a home for the first time.

Edmonton folks! I’m looking to interview a first-time buyer for a story i’m writing.

If this is you or someone you know, send me a DM for further details.

Thanks in advance!

Can’t be! The yimbys in the bad place told me the opposite.

Which goes to show how poorly capitalism is working for most.

They suffer so much that they have to pay to have their interests prioritized!

Indeed! One thing I’ve noticed, though, is that unlike condos, purpose-built rentals seem to be slightly less misleading.

✨ affordable luxury ✨

At its core, the housing crisis is about trying to fit the needs of 50 per cent of households in less than 5 per cent of the housing supply.

A friendly reminder that having house prices drop in one segment of one market doesn’t equate to affordability improving across the board.

Few are building homes that target the needs of half of the population, or those whose income sits below the median.

Alternative, tongue-in-cheek headline:

Calgary faces shortage of high income tenants

Thanks for reading!

Alberta landlords set to compete for tenants Many tenants still feel squeezed by high rents, but a flood of new product is coming

As Calgary’s rental supply grows, landlords are introducing incentives to attract new tenants.

The cost savings incentives afford, however, do little to increase the options available to moderate income renters, who continue to spend more than a third of their income in rent.

When people aren’t given good information, they’ll go try and find it themselves. Sometimes they’ll find the good one. Often they’ll find the bad one first.

If you are so paralyzed by an indecision that you need a chatbot to tell you what coffee drink to order, you probably need to check into a rehab. Also we’re gonna need a rehab for chatbot addiction. Where you have to like relearn colors and how to do laundry.

How can you tell it’s vinyl siding?

Exactly! I wish i could do a real focus group with different demographics.

Haha! No, i’m curious about the assumptions people make based on the looks of a house.

Why B?

Haha! I didn’t mean them to be depressing, but i also didn’t choose the flashiest pictures.

Let’s play a game!

Take a look at the houses below and tell me who you imagine would live in each one of them and why.
