"PDF: Read | Print “It’s unavoidable: sooner or later, every individual committed to revolt and every autonomous struggles will face repression, whether directly or its threat.

When you look at hard facts from folks in the industry but who haven't signed on to the LLM hype:

IBM is a dinosaur, but they make their money on computers. They have mathematicians who understand the algorithms underlying LLMs. If there was money in LLMs, IBM would be all over it.

Israel will not stop firing until we stop supplying them with weapons. This is genocide.

“OpenAI lost a court battle against the New York Times — now it's taking its case to the public”

businessinsider.com/openai-new…

#Microsoft #CEO Satya Nadella just stated that #AI has yet to deliver any real value despite massive investment. People in the #tech #industry are shocked.

Shocked? Really?! What is in the #KoolAid these people are chugging?

AI has brought very little value to, well....anything. It's incredibly damaging to the environment, expensive, and the way it's currently being used isn't respectful of privacy nor does it improve the well-being of peoples' lives. Now it's being shoved into pretty much everything.

The sheer volume of money tech companies are willing to "invest" in it really could solve more imminent social crises.

When the Feds Come to Your City: Standing Up to ICE

A Guide from Chicago Organizers

crimethinc.com/StandUptoICE

Are masked agents stalking your town, looking to kidnap your neighbors? Want to do your part to protect each other, but don’t know where to start?

This guide is based on the knowledge that an array of people have accumulated in Chicago over the past several months during “Operation Midway Blitz.”

As federal agents expand their assaults on communities across the country, it is crucial to share and build on these practices.

David Graeber once wrote an important piece about the power of protest and the police. This is an extract.

If you are a salaried, paid, toucher of computers, you are likely nominally paid for "40 hours" of work per week, though "exempt" (from getting paid overtime).

Given that companies pay different salary bands for "the same job" based on location, it doesn't seem like it's for specific results, or literal time.

If you get "your work" done in half the time, do you owe them more work?

If you didn't get work done do you owe them more work?

In your opinion, are you being paid for:

  • your time (40 hours) do something (5%, 1 vote)
  • specific results (projects done) (61%, 11 votes)
  • your best effort (5%, 1 vote)
  • your knowledge and skill (27%, 5 votes)

@pseudonym@mastodon.online Employees need to remember that their employer will never pay more than 100% of their obligations so why should any employee give more than 100% of their time and energy? Employees are not assets (no matter what management might tell them). Employees are resources (:cough: *Human Resources* :cough:) and are recorded on a Company's financials as an **Expense** line-item. You know what's also an expense for your employer? Toilet paper.
