A lot of things matter to me in choosing what I work on, and who I work for. Money is one. It isn't the only one. It isn't even the most important one. I have an in-my-head sliding scale I use - the better your work matches my #ethical framework, the less #lucre it takes to convince me to help you.
So if you're using "AI" to build #algorithmic pricing systems to sell to companies so they can #gouge people needing services in their most #desperate hour? I *might* entertain a rate of $1000 per hour to shit on your head. There isn't enough #money in the world to get me to help you build that stuff.
On the other hand, if you're a small #company, selling actual #goods or #services to #customers who want and need them, as opposed to building something #shiny to attract the rubes so you can sell your audience to the #advertising industry? And you need a techie person?
Let's talk.

In the aftermath of a natural disaster, many undertake selfless acts to help their neighbors or complete strangers
Others try to take advantage of people’s desperation with high prices.
Charging high prices for goods and services during disasters can be illegal, in violation of the state’s anti-price-gouging laws.
UNLESS it's healthcare, they take advantage of human's at their most desperate times and are free to #gouge us EVERY day! WTF?

Da fuq is this ish?
Canadians who use #marijuana or work in and invest in the marijuana industry risk a LIFETIME ban on travel to the United States, a U.S. official said this week.
If a traveler admits to past use of any drugs deemed illegal in the U.S., such as marijuana, he or she will be found inadmissible.
The traveler would still be able to apply for a waiver from the lifetime ban, which can takes months to be processed & costs $585 #gouge
