As we celebrate international workers day, let's remember why Tesla was problematic waaaaay before Musk joined DOGE. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/dec/11/uaw-tesla-elon-musk-unions

And why Amazon is also no good https://www.thenation.com/article/activism/amazon-union-busting-north-carolina/

UAW wants to unionize Tesla. It faces a tough and high-profile battle with Musk

Pro-union workers are hopeful but realistic – and fear Musk’s previous ruthlessness towards workers trying to unionize

Sad to see the acceptance of do-what-you-want-mentality when it comes to online data. The wide adoption of OpenAI (who just grab data without asking), pretty much legitimizes this behavior. So unfortunately, this is not very surprising... just sad that this is where we are. So much for #dataethics #aiethics

Someone Made a Dataset of One Million Bluesky Posts for 'Machine Learning Research'

A Hugging Face employee made a huge dataset of Bluesky posts, and it’s already very popular.

Seen in the light of the progress in #dataethics, it is very unsatisfactory that unethical #genAI providers are now being build into so many workflows and software systems, that we will soon be totally dependent on them - seems we have learned very little.
I'm not saying we shouldn't use good security, only that it is totally underestimated that transferring an authenticator app, password manager, public digital id, etc, are all non-trivial and if mseed up, can leave people locked out of their digital services for good
All the people who keep pushing MFA and long, complex, and unique passwords as something which is easily done, should do themselves a favor and sit down with an elderly relative and let them try to set up a new phone!
#twitter deactivated. Will be very interesting to see if Mastodon will gain some traction :)

I am all for exploring how AI can be utilized, but why does critical thinking not apply to how "GenAI is going to change the world"? The question seems to be "how do we put GenAI in our product" rather than "does GenAI add value to our product". Getting real blockchain vibes here!
