Loss of privacy is just the beginning. Workers are worried about biased AI and the need to perform the ‘right’ expressions and body language for the algorithms.

Emotion artificial intelligence uses biological signals such as vocal tone, facial expressions and data from wearable devices as well as text and how people use their computers, to detect and predict how someone is feeling. It can be used in the workplace, for hiring, etc. Loss of privacy is just the beginning.

    Have you tried working for a small-mid size company? I got the same vibe in big companies, now im in a company of 50 people and they just do not care how weird i am, no middle managers trying to justify their existence, as long as you’re doing your best you’re good. Like i’m sure that doesnt apply to all small companies, but i’d certainly keep it in mind for the future

      I have tried everything. Uber driver (ie job without a boss) is the only thing where I can succeed.

      I’ve worked at companies of every size from 3 to 10,000. My personality creates friction no matter how hard I try to fit in.

      I’ve done therapy, ayahuasca ceremonies, yoga, zen, men’s work, neurofeedback training, rolfing, adderall, anxiety meds, microdosing LSD and psilocybin, low carb, keto, raw diet, kung fu, alcohol, marijuana, polyphasic sleep, you name it.

      I’m 41 years old. My ability to adapt is declining. There is one little puddle where this fish can swim, and these busybody kids are trying to turn it into a clone of every other dirt pile out there.

      I want my independent contractor gig work to just stay as it is. I just want these “Let’s break some eggs and make a big omelet for everybody!” kids to slow their fucking roll and have a little humility instead of trying to save everyone by replacing dignified autonomy with a comfortable spot under Momma’s wing.

        Hmm, well i can’t really speak to any of that. But for the greater good, unions are a good thing. I understand that it makes difficult for you though.

        I’d throw the obvious stuff at you like, but it’s kinda hard to get an idea of what could possibly help without knowing you.

        I do know that i’ve had to change my attitude a few times in life to get by though, i don’t think autism should be used as an excuse to not have to do the hard thing everyone has to do (but is harder for us).

        Right now, the only advice i can give is to try to channel that resentment into motivation to improve yourself. Trying and failing is so much more valuable than just giving up and being angry about it.

        But yeah, i do have it easier than most so maybe it’s not my place to say things like that. I do wish you the best though.

        I do feel the same way about things being easier alone though. i would be much happier and productive doing my own thing, I have a ton of software projects i work on, somd even make a bit of money, but running business seems scary since my administration skills are shit and customers are acary.
