@EmmanuelMacron Président Macron, l’IA remplace déjà des salariés. Quand allez-vous préparer la France ?
Il y a quelques jours, à Manhattan, j'ai assisté à un déjeuner off the record avec les dirigeants de l'une des plus grandes banques américaines. Ce que j'y ai entendu devrait vous empêcher de dormir.

Dans cette banque de Wall Street, l'IA n'est plus un projet pilote. Elle est déjà dans les effectifs.

La banque compte désormais des « digital employees » (employés numériques). Ces lignes de code ont suivi exactement le même processus d'intégration (onboarding) qu'un cadre en chair et en os. Le tout sous l'œil des régulateurs.

Le remplacement des humains par les machines n'est plus une hypothèse. C'est un calendrier. Le secteur bancaire plonge le premier, les cols blancs vont y passer, les classes moyennes avec.

Pendant ce temps, en France, on s'émerveille encore devant des chatbots qui écrivent des poèmes.

Monsieur le Président, @Emmanuel Macron, le baby-foot de l’Élysée ne suffira pas à nous sauver du tsunami social qui s'annonce. Qu'attendez-vous ?

Nous avons déjà fait cette erreur avec la mondialisation. Vos prédécesseurs nous promettaient une marée montante. Elle a coulé des régions entières, vidé nos bassins industriels et fracturé notre tissu social.

L'IA va suivre le même chemin, mais beaucoup plus vite. Elle vient pour le comptable, le juriste, l'analyste, le journaliste, l'ingénieur. Et cette fois, il n'y aura pas de pays à bas coût à blâmer. La machine ne dort jamais et ne se met jamais en grève.

Il ne s'agit pas de freiner la technologie, mais de préparer les Français à l'affronter debout plutôt qu'à genoux.

Monsieur le Président, il vous reste quelques mois de mandat. Ne refilez pas cette bombe à retardement sociale à votre successeur. C'est aujourd'hui qu'on prépare la France au choc.

Il est urgent d'anticiper pour ne pas être pris au dépourvu. Mobilisons les ministères concernés comme @RolandLescure (Économie), @ALehenanff (Intelligence Artificielle et Numérique) et @ Jean-Pierre Farrandou (Travail et Solidarités).

Il faut réunir d'urgence les forces syndicales — @MaryliseLeon, @BinetSophie, @cthieffinne, Frédéric Souillot et @ChabanierCFTC — pour repenser notre Code du travail et nos filières de formation avant qu'il ne soit trop tard.

Ne soyez pas le président qui a regardé les Français se faire remplacer. Prenez les devants.

@Clavicular0 Dear Clavicular,

Let me explain the country you thought you conquered, because you clearly arrived without reading much about it.

You came believing your name and your money were keys that opened every door. In America, that is sometimes true. Celebrity is a currency, and wealth is something people wear out loud. You assumed the Kardashian logic was universal: being known means being admired, and a follower count somehow radiates from your body when you enter a room.

You stood on a Paris street in a $10,000 suit waiting to be recognized. The city walked past you.

Here is what nobody told you. Celebrity has limited authority in France. People admire the writer after reading the book, the chef after tasting the food, the actor after seeing the performance. The work usually comes first. The personality comes later, if people care at all.

France has little native enthusiasm for being famous simply because other people know your name. Your reputation does not enter the room ahead of you. Once you sit down, you still have to be interesting. “Don’t look me up though” is a man asking to be Googled.

Then there is the money.

You thought the suit would do the talking. In France, money is still faintly shameful. The rich often hide it, minimize it, or find more discreet ways to display it. Wealth used as a flex can look vulgar. It can suggest that the price is the most interesting thing about the person wearing it.

Yes, France is a world capital of luxury. Bernard Arnault (Dior, Louis Vuitton etc), the maisons Chanel and Hermes, Cannes, Nice, Saint-Tropez, Monaco, and the Fashion Week you flew in to attend are all real.

You misunderstood the culture surrounding them.

France manufactures flash and sells it to the rest of the world at a markup, then declines to be impressed by it at home. French culture draws a sharp distinction between elegance and money. Elegance suggests restraint, judgment, and knowing what to leave unsaid.

You arrived as a price tag with a jawline.

The women were not lesbians. The country is not “ghetto.” The French gene pool is doing fine.

You entered a culture with codes you never bothered to learn. A woman told you, politely, “Have a good time in Paris,” and returned to her friends. There was no public argument, dramatic confrontation, or display of awe.

That was what wounded you.

Next time you travel to Paris, arrive curious. The city has little patience for men who demand admiration before giving anyone a reason to care.

You came to Paris expecting it to confirm your value.

Paris kept drinking its coffee.

I’m French. I lived in Paris most of my adult life. So when Clavicular flew in expecting the city to recognize him, I already knew exactly how this ends.

Women Must Submit
At a $15 million Texas ranch, broken men find discipline, belonging and purpose. The man helping them rebuild their lives also teaches that husbands lead and wives submit.

"She has to submit to her husband. Why? For her good. He's trying to protect her. And she doesn't see it that way because she hasn't given her life to Christ."
That's G.F. Watkins, on the record, unbothered. He's built a $15M Texas ranch that genuinely pulls men out of addiction, prison, fatherlessness. The men he's saved aren't lying about what it gave them.
The same voice that tells a drowning man he's enough tells that man's wife she's the weaker vessel who has to let him call the shot.

The Manosphere Hands Boys an Enemy. This Room Doesn't. One night a week in Houston, a former coach gathers a dozen teenage boys, takes their phones, and asks them to tell the truth. They have every advantage adults say boys need, and they are exhausted anyway.

It is time to retire “toxic masculinity.” Not because harmful male behavior does not exist. It does. But because too many boys hear the phrase as an accusation against who they are. And once boys shut down, the manosphere walks in. Episode 3.

[Luc Olinga @lucolinga]

L'épouvantail des "techno-fascistes" a bon dos. Il permet à nos politiciens d'ignorer le peuple et d'accuser les algorithmes de la montée des extrêmes.

La réalité, c'est que la Silicon Valley est un champ de bataille, pas un complot.

Pour comprendre les vrais rapports de force derrière l'IA et son impact sur notre société, je lance ma nouvelle série vidéo.

Épisode 1. 👇

[Luc Olinga @lucolinga]

Five years ago, my 16-year-old son told me that being a man today felt like being "born accused."

Today, he is 21. And he is more convinced than ever.

The #manosphere didn’t invent this crisis. It just monetized our refusal to listen.
