Cory Doctorow on Nostr: "Gig apps trap reverse centaurs in wage-stealing Skinner boxes" is one of my best ...
"Gig apps trap reverse centaurs in wage-stealing Skinner boxes" is one of my best titles. This is the post where I introduce the idea of "twiddling" as part of the theory of enshittification, and explain how it relates to #ReverseCentaurs - people who assist machines, rather than the other way around. Finding a CC licensed modular synth was much harder than I thought, but I found Stephen Drake's image and stitched it into a mandala.
