1/ At bargaining yesterday, @ProPublica management said that they should have 100% discretion to replace workers with AI and would not commit to labeling future AI-generated content.

@dsalo @propublicaguild @ProPublica everything about generative AI is exploitative and grossly anti-human, pro-oligarchy trash. There is nothing good or positive about how these systems were trained or how they are run. To even consider using them is obscene and offensive to actual writers and journalists. I can understand corporations that focus on shareholder value over everything else salivating at the prospect of firing all the creative talent and replacing them with regurgitation engines. I thought ProPublica was better than that. I thought they cared about actual human beings over short term monetary gain. I was fucking chumped again. Maybe there are no "good" corporations.

Do the right thing.

Do the right thing and brag about it.

Be the company that loudly, proudly, blatantly values human-driven content over shoveling out mass-produced slop.

Put that on the homepage, next to every by line.

Be the bastion you say you are.

@propublicaguild Signed. Added a request that they include the AI equivalent of a warrant canary with each publication so their readers know what is going on and can act accordingly.
