[FRIAM] Where are all the workers going?

[uǝlƃ ☤>$]

Thanks for sending me to the Atlantic. Cushing's Slack article was great! It's more evidence that the chatty amongst us should start a Slack server (though I'd recommend Discord <https://discord.com/> instead). I didn't find the Brooks article. But I'm not a subscriber and I've read my last free article. 8^( If you can send the link, I'd be grateful. I'm still in the throes of a fugue on "value alignment".

But I did find this:

The Abortion Backup Plan No One Is Talking About

which links to this:
