If that’s you, I invite you to join us.
Because the future is not a hand-me-down. It’s something we create—together.
This is a great discussion by Juri Viehoff, Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Utrecht, on AI Agents and Solidarity at Work covering Individual Goods of Work, Solidarity as a Communal Good, How AI Undermines Solidarity, and Preserving Solidarity in the Age of AI.

AI is simultaneously training call center workers to sound different AND replacing them entirely. 42,000 agents use "accent translation" software while chatbots handle the calls. It's like getting a makeover for a job interview... that no longer exists. Peak 2024 vibes!

it.slashdot.orgHow Will AI Impact Call Center Jobs in India? - SlashdotHow AI will reshape the future of work? The Washington Post looks at India's $280 billion call-center and "business process outsourcing" industry, which employs over 3 million people.

People say things like "AI is scary" when what they mean is "AI is going to require me to change".

@davdittrich how can both of these be true?
A) lower-ability applicants appear more skilled than they are, placing them in roles demanding higher qualifications
B) LLM-induced improvements in the cover letter do not increase the job-seeker’s likelihood to get invited to an interview
The reality is, whether we like it or not, the world—and most workplaces—are embracing AI. I work in IT Ops and we're rolling out Copilot, ChatGPT & Gemini across our Windows ecosystem. These tools are becoming as normal as email. Schools need to teach AI literacy & prompt skills. It’s not cheating—it’s the new baseline. Resisting it just means falling behind. #AI #EdTech #FutureOfWork
Could AI spawn new roles—storyworld curators, data dramaturgs—instead of shrinking jobs? How has AI opened revenue streams that didn’t exist three years ago? Share examples to replace zero-sum fears with curiosity.

But you know what’s worse than failing? Not trying at all.
Because if there’s even one person out there who’s also feeling isolated…who’s also feeling like they’ve lost something vital in all this noise…who’s also ready to build something better—then it’s already worth it.
This is the risk.
This is the work.
This is the invitation.
Let’s start over—together.

Not just as a member, but as a co-conspirator.
Together, we build.
Together, we grow.
Together, we break the cycle of surface connections and start nourishing something deeper.

So if you’ve been searching for a community where justice is a shared responsibility, where growth doesn’t mean harm, and where you're not expected to shoulder it all alone—consider this your invitation.
Because the only way we move forward is together.
