Chinese tech workers are starting to train their AI doubles–and pushing back by Caiwei Chen

Earlier this month a GitHub project called Colleague Skill, which claimed workers could use it to “distill” their colleagues’ skills and personality traits and replicate them with an AI agent, went viral on Chinese social media. Though the project was created as a spoof, it struck a nerve among tech workers, a number of whom told MIT Technology Review that their bosses are encouraging them to document their workflows in order to automate specific tasks and processes using AI agent tools like OpenClaw or Claude Code.

It felt creepy reading this, as if who a person is, could be written down in some markdown docs in a folder.

We are more, so much more than these things.
