The death of the inside joke was ruled a homicide. The prime suspect, Gen Z, was too busy to stand trial. “The future of the inside joke is agentic, and so am I,” says Tungsten Winnerlose, Principal Thought Leader at BossWare, between sips of a $19 mushroom coffee. The news comes amid growing…

Recent data from HR tech and bossware platforms that monitor workers is painting a picture of AI use in workplaces: it’s adding more work and stressing people out. 🧵

Long Covid disabled millions of workers. Then came Trump 2.0.
Companies have become “very comfortable undermining” ADA labor protections, experts say.

It is kinda fucked up that there's bossware software out there literally called "staffcop" and we are not getting mad enough about that or the bossware in general.

Not long ago, Pa was surprised to find AI "bossware" scoring the “sentiment” of every call she takes. Starting Jan. 1, California bans employers from using AI to read workers’ emotions.

The rules of vibe-ice fishing are simple. You describe what you want, the AI does it wrong, and you post about it. “My grandmother would have loved this,” says Kip Moonbeam, Head of Vibes (Interim) at BossWare, whose grandmother has asked to be left out of it. The news comes amid growing concern…
