@inkynibs thank you—Only recently occurred to me! If you’ve read other stuff like this (journalistic but social-issue-centric) that got you excited in the same way, I’d love to hear it. #academicchatter #sociology #classinequality #lowwagework #lowwageworkers

Los Angeles regional meeting

Sunday Feb 4, 3pm

We’re going to Sacramento!
Help us get organized to join CA PPC activists from across
the state on March 2 for the Mass Poor People's and Low-Wage Workers' Assembly.

We’ll be planning transportation and logistics and discussing the demands we want to
deliver to our elected officials.

Who do you know who could go to the Assembly?

If you can’t go yourself, there will be lots of other ways to help, including phone banking, media
and social media work, signs and banners.

Join us to learn more and add in your ideas.

Invite your neighbors, families and friends—all are welcome.

A new report from Time reveals that Open AI's Chat GPT, a popular AI-powered chatbot, was trained by Kenyan company Sama using low-wage workers who were paid less than $2 per hour. These workers were tasked with sorting through and labeling toxic content, including descriptions of murder, torture, and child sexual abuse. Open AI has yet to comment on the accusations. https://time.com/6247678/openai-chatgpt-kenya-workers/ #ChatGPT #AI #lowwageworkers
