Unless it’s a life-threatening or medical emergency, 10-minute delivery should be banned. Why do you need everyday items, including food, in 10 minutes? It puts delivery workers' lives at risk and subjects them to extreme stress. This is totally avoidable.

28 deliveries. 15 hours of relentless work. ₹763 earned. This is not a “gig economy success story”. This is systemic exploitation hidden behind apps & algorithms. I raised this issue in Parliament recently. Low pay, crushing targets, no job security, no dignity for gig

This! Stop with the fake analogies. AI is not like the camera. It’s not like recorded music. It’s not like the printing press. AI is rooted in exploitation. It could not exist in the absence of existing works. It is wholly derivative.
The only thing AI can be compared to is colonization. Autotune, drum machines, DAWs, etc aren’t comparable. They didn’t infringe on millions of creations, they didn’t cause catastrophic job loss and they still required human operators. These fake analogies are propaganda.

Equality feels like oppression for the privileged.
Feminists don’t want equality, they want supremacy.
