“On 6 May, Google DeepMind workers in the UK asked management to recognize the Communication Workers Union (CWU) and Unite the Union as their workplace representatives, as staff prepare to challenge the use of Google AI technology by the US and Israeli militaries.

‘We don’t want our AI models complicit in violations of international law, but they already are aiding Israel’s genocide of Palestinians,’ one DeepMind employee said.”

My ballot paper in the Unite the Union elections has just come through.

Now which candidates want to stop funding Labour (and not just the 'blank cheques' talk of the recent leadership), understand that climate change and the environment is the biggest threat we face long term and want to fuck with the status quo in general shaking trees until we start to see some change?

I have votes in West Mids, service industry and disability sections.
