Now this is amazing! Solidarity!

'America’s World Cup opener was yesterday at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, and the 2,000 cooks, servers, bartenders, and dishwashers who work there are now the highest-paid stadium workers in the country.

They didn’t get there by asking nicely.

The regime’s Homeland Security chief promised ICE agents at World Cup stadiums. FIFA—in partnership with the regime—demanded workers hand over home addresses and nationality data. Workers knew exactly where that information could end up.

Days before the opening match—when walking out would’ve been impossible to ignore—96% of them voted to strike. And they won big.

Their ratified contract delivers 40% raises, bringing most workers to more than $40 an hour, and something unprecedented in American labor history—the contractual right to walk off the job if ICE threatens any worker in that stadium.

Union co-president Kurt Petersen was direct: “These workers are heroes. They stood up to FIFA. They stood up to ICE.”

Suites worker Yolanda Fierro put it best: “Los Angeles should be a city of welcome—not fear.”'

A KPMG report intended to show how businesses were successfully adopting AI, was partly written with the aid of AI, and (yes you know this was coming) included a range of fictional case studies that emphasised the success of AI adoption based it would appear on AI 'hallucinations' not spotted by the report's human authors.

This seems emblematic of the problem we may have increasingly with AI; it tells us about how successful it is by degrading the information on which we rely.

While googling something I just ended up on a Microsoft public Azure blob with meeting recordings, PDFs about how they're selling Copilot and how to get it into business leaders, screenshots with partner data, business strategy etc.

Police:

We need more surveillance so we can better protect you!

Also Police:

> A monitoring group repeatedly warned the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) over the past eight months that anti-immigration activists were circulating the addresses of properties that were targeted in this week’s Belfast riots.

> Anti-racist campaigners have spoken of their anger and frustration that months of warnings were not acted on

ACM will no longer require disclosure of the use of #generativeAI in writing papers.... an absolutely terrible change by the @ACM Publications Board to the Policy on Authorship.

Yes, this will give ACM more papers. No, the ideology of "number go up" productivism is not the path to responsible, ecological or ethical computing, but to irrelevance. #AIslop
