"data for good" means "your data is ours for good"
I'm realizing that #AIDefeat & #NoConsent could be effective tools w/ #Solidarity to resist tech companies bringing "AI" & surveillance to care systems for emotional distress, such as they are. These tools combined with organizing and support to empower people seeking help, who are vulnerable.
It's a paradox, wanting to avoid putting any burden on persons at their most difficult moments. This is also the moment of exploitation for their data and when meaningful consent is not possible for any complicated ask.
This is creative work, these tools could have power of their own. Hopeful.

1/ What do you think of when you hear "next generation data platform" "information at a massive scale" "extend well beyond SMS as a channel" "artificial intelligence" "natural language processing" "data consumers" "data pipeline development"?
Did you think Crisis Text Line? #CrisisTextLine
It would seem risky for #CrisisTextLine to go all-in on conversation data & “#AI ” tools after being called out 2 years ago--considering the problems with consent. So many children. So many people, vulnerable moments. Still unregulated, except maybe #FTC consumer protections? It's not easy to learn what CTL is doing, so I went to job announcements.

The news lately, both close to home and around the world can be a lot to manage for many people. This feeling of overwhelm and heartbreak is echoed throughout many professional communities, including Drupal. The Drupal community is a group that fosters connection and inclusion and as members of the Community Working Group, our mission is to support you, our community.
#CrisisTextLine is hiring to go "well beyond SMS" to the next gen "artificial intelligence" "natural language processing". Be aware of their spin-off for-profit #LorisAI, which claims sentiment detection & real-time conv. evals, prompts for call centers.
"Crisis Text Line's software engineers develop the next-generation data platform that changes how millions of humans connect with volunteer crisis counselors, our clinical staff and the interaction with one another. Our platform needs to handle information at a massive scale and extend well beyond SMS as a channel. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information processing, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design, and mobile."
