I find it pretty funny that some jerkoff who works for facebook is complaining about privacy violations. The companies entire business model relies on disrespecting privacy.

    I don’t want to live in a world where humans—employees or otherwise—are exploited for their training data.

    Does anybody read the job description anymore?

    So they feel that surveillance isn't so great when it directly affects them? Poor ghouls, I'm going to cry for their plight in the next never.

    I do my best to have solidarity with the entire working class, but 👉👈

    “I'm mixed on Al. On one hand, I really enjoy using it to write software. On the other hand, I'm really nervous about its impact on the world,” the engineer wrote in an internal forum for coders.

    Yeah, that's the catch isn't it? On one hand, we're ceding skills to oligarch-owned chat bots that are working day and night to create to neofeudal police state where their air conditioned bunkers can survive the climate apocalypse, but on the other hand, it makes your job slightly easier (until you're inevitably laid off).

    It's a really tough spot to be in.

    And I say "fuck em" until they actually change their stance and views. People might say "oh you need to be tolerant and patient and teach them the error of their ways," but these are the people that know damn well the impact AI is having on literally everything but they're still just going "whee! It makes my job easier for 5 minutes!"

    So, fuck em.

    The Luddites made great strides for workers rights. I would be honored to be counted amongst their numbers.

    I have some wooden shoes, will they do ?

    EDIT

    As this disappointingly seems to have gone through to slips:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabot_(shoe)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabotage#Etymology

    "An alleged etymology [of sabotage] describes the actions of disgruntled workers who willfully damaged workplace machinery by throwing their sabots into the works"

    Into looms...

    I think figuring out how to find solidarity across the working class is a guidepost to revolution.

    It's more than okay to admit that it's challenging. Anything else is just untrue.

    I do think the effort is worth it. I think uniting for a better world is the prize we win when we figure out how to construct a society that accommodates as much diversity of thought and lifestyle as our civilization contains.

    The irony of this being on wired, that hides everything besides the headline and first paragraph behind a paywall.
