Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around “wokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.
Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

Sometimes I think about how Napster & Grokster were immediately destroyed despite filesharing having clear non-infringing, time-shifting, & other positive uses, and yet AI tools like this, built on way worse infringement & used to lie & abuse in really gross ways, are huge parts of our economy now
This is one of the worst, most horrifying exposures we have ever seen. It is hard to overstate how bad the things that people are using tools like for are, and it's insane to pretend like these tools are anything other than nonconsensual porn machines

Something that ran through my head as I saw descriptions for Steam Next Fest games: if the project uses gen AI, it’s an instant skip
Yes, even if it’s “just” for store assets
However it’s intended, it LOOKS like an active gap in your craft, and there’s infinite other games to spend my time on
