BITCH MAGNET

this truly is what's happening to the economy. the source of "late capitalism" is computers

not even automation but the ability to tighten slack right up to the last point where people can stand it without going bonkers and killing people

and the ability to erase all social aspects from job hunting etc

a hiring manager is not allowed to take a chance on you anymore because they can use computer to 1) source most of their best available choices 2) fully quantify who's best on paper

true creative risk is now being actively punished by almost every institution except indie ones, bc the computer tells them to just push more of the same perfectly calibrated rat-lever slop

but removing all slack from the economy also removes chaos and that chaos has given us some of the best shit we have because you need to be colliding a bunch of random shit together to get cool good new shit
