Pluralistic: AI solipsists and AI cynics (24 Jul 2026)

FTA: "A bet that bosses will fire workers and replace them with AI is a good wager. Bosses are absolute suckers for this scam."

Timely given this week I found out certain small #HigherEd institution just signed a contract with some big AI company.

Respect for Dropkick Murphy's. They've pulled all of their merch except for this pro-union shirt. The shirts' proceeds will go to the union which includes the people who prepare DKM merch. The Teamsters Local had been unable to reach a contract with the employer (who is now owned by Sony)

Screenshot of an email that says, in part, "WE STAND WITH THE 👊 WORKERS 👊 at the Kings Road Merch warehouse !! We’ve been with KRM for 15 years — and some of the warehouse team have packed our merch since day one. It has been our hope that Teamsters Local 970 could help negotiate a settlement / agreement with KRM’s new owner Sony Music. That has not happened yet. So while that remains in limbo, we are shutting down our webstore until further notice — in SOLIDARITY with the WORKERS. WE WILL HOWEVER SELL ONE DKM x KRM UNION COLLAB SHIRT. 100% of proceeds will go to the KRM warehouse union workers. This will hopefully help raise awareness and put some extra money in the pockets of the workers and their families on behalf of Dropkick Murphys."

NEW: ProPublica journalist Max Blau spent a year reporting on abuses of farmworkers.

It left him wondering: Is there any way to find out whether the produce he buys at the grocery store comes from farms with a record of mistreating workers?

US employers pulled back on hiring last month & added only 57,000 jobs, less than half the previous month’s total & a sign companies still have a cautious economic outlook.
