Cory Doctorow Neatly Encapsulates AI:
This is a neat encapsulation of the whole AI story: the chatbot can’t do your job, but an AI salesman can convince your boss to fire you and replace you with a chatbot that can’t do your job.
Your boss is an easy mark for that chatbot hustler because your boss hates you. In their secret hearts, bosses understand that if they stopped coming to work, the business would run along just fine, but if the workers stopped showing up, the company would grind to a halt.
Cory Doctorow, Dec 28, 2025, “A post-American, enshittification-resistant internet” for 39C3, the 39th Chaos Communications Congress in Hamburg, Germany
