BREAKING: 🇨🇳 China's court just ruled companies can't fire workers only to replace them with AI.
Beijing is warning firms that putting profit over jobs could carry penalties, especially when it comes to young people.
Read that again. The country racing hardest to win the AI race just told its own companies to slow down.
You can't automate a human out of a job purely to cut costs.
China has high youth unemployment and a slowing economy. A wave of AI layoffs would devastating.
So Beijing is doing what it always does.
Stability first. Efficiency second.
The "AI replaces everyone" trade assumes nothing stands in the way. Beijing just stood in the way. By decree.
As much as I want to have the fulfillment of belonging, i don't want my being to be held prisoner to the whims of other people's fleeting opinions of me.

The social cost of being “popular” is something people don’t talk about enough. It explains why some celebrities have to find ways to keep themselves relevant, and it comes at great personal cost.
Most interactions with people are fake and meaningless. No one can have a deep conversation anymore. It feels like you're just going through the motions. Zombies pushing a pram or walking their dog while staring at their phone.
Buy what you need, occasionally what you want. Enjoy your hobbies, and enjoy socialising until you don't.
Then, have your quiet reflective time.
Live your life for yourself and your loved ones.
Ignore the sheep and herd, be yourself. Sheep are exhausting. Your time is precious
