The leading question
Permalink: anthony-roca.io/livre.html#question-directrice
La question n'est pas : est-ce que l'IA me remplace ?
La question est : est-ce que l'IA prend mon salaire ?
The question is not: is AI replacing me?
The question is: is AI taking my salary?
The hammer line
Permalink: anthony-roca.io/livre.html#phrase-marteau
L'IA n'est pas là pour prendre ton travail. Elle est là pour faire les tâches de ton travail.
AI is not here to take your work. It is here to do the tasks of your work.
The key line — bold version
Permalink: anthony-roca.io/livre.html#cle-militante
Le salaire n'a jamais été le prix du travail exécuté. Il a toujours été le prix d'une responsabilité assumée dans un corps social.
A salary has never been the price of work performed. It has always been the price of a responsibility assumed within a social body.
The key line — rigorous version
Permalink: anthony-roca.io/livre.html#cle-rigoureuse
Le salaire n'est pas seulement le prix du travail exécuté. Il est aussi — et de manière structurante — le prix d'une responsabilité subordonnée assumée dans un corps social.
A salary is not only the price of work performed. It is also — and structurally so — the price of a subordinated responsibility assumed within a social body.
What AI reveals
Permalink: anthony-roca.io/livre.html#revelation
Si le salaire rémunère une responsabilité subordonnée assumée dans un corps social, alors l'IA ne menace pas les tâches. Elle révèle la part de ces positions qui reposait sur de l'opacité.
If a salary pays for a subordinated responsibility assumed within a social body, then AI does not threaten tasks. It reveals the part of these positions that rested on opacity.
The black hole of responsibility
Permalink: anthony-roca.io/livre.html#trou-noir
Dans un monde où personne ne répond plus de rien, qui paiera pour que quelqu'un réponde ?
In a world where no one answers for anything anymore, who will pay for someone to answer?
