DIDN'T THE COURTS OR DoL RECENTLY SAY NDAs ARE ILLEGAL?

«I have seen the extremely restrictive off-boarding agreement that contains nondisclosure and non-disparagement provisions former OpenAI employees are subject to. It forbids them, for the rest of their lives, from criticizing their former employer. Even acknowledging that the NDA exists is a violation of it.»

ChatGPT can talk, but OpenAI employees sure can’t

Watch "Return to Oz" and see the quack that straps Dorothy to the chair hum on about Magnets.

Replace the technofascists scam dejour with "magnets" when you see AI blockchain nocoiners etc

the very fact that techbros made up a word to insult people not in on the scam "nocoiners" puts them on a par w incels who call men who actually make women consider having sex with them "chads"

With this big Tech Bros vs Artists thing brewing, the Tech Bros will lose.
Artists bring joy to our lives while Tech Bros have been spying on us all the time and trying so damn hard to normalise White Supremacy (a sample of the multitude of their crimes), .....we fucking hate you guys.

Say what you will about AI, but among the applications I am looking forward to is the scraping and synthesis of every manufacturer's catalogs. Since there are no copyright issues, it will give rise to a massive database for materials, processes, and parts sourcing. This is a typical source document that exists all over the web to be scraped.

I want believe in the cybergrunge future your manifesting.

Your fingers to the ears of #TheIneffable.

That is the modern digital papyri of the Library of Alexandria.

Accumulated STEM expertise of humanity.

Will the TESCREAL #TechBros fnck it up.

Will we let them?

Is our #society, #culture, and #institutions capable of not killing Hypatia and burning down the Serapeum? Will the insane Athanasius and Cyril win?

Is digital neofeudalism an inevitable #antipattern of #history rhyming?

Sucks "Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it.Yet those who do study history are doomed to stand by helplessly while everyone else repeats it."

Do you remember #Diaspora?

Have you ever tried it?

It does a lot of sane and interesting things, It was glissed because it was made by a bunch of #flossbros (too much leftist), then everybody called the experts and they came out with ActivityPub, which is a a W3C project, that means also the #TechBros are indirectly involved.

Maybe it is time to come back and rediscover it... 🤔

#AI is primarily based on theft:

"Eight prominent U.S. newspapers owned by investment giant Alden Global Capital are suing OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement, in a complaint filed Tuesday in the SDNY. On top of a similar case filed by NYT against both companies, the new suits add heft to publishers' claims."

GENTLE REMINDER TO ALL WORKERS

before you go hustling for new work on these internets and fediverses, if you were laid off, HEAD TO THE CLOSEST DEPARTMENT OFFICE AND DEMAND YOUR BENEFITS

you pay for with each paycheck. DEMAND THAT MONEY.

here's a thread about what to do & what happens when you don't demand all your accumulated money & benefits.

🗣️ LEARN SOLIDARITY REAL QUICK BY DEMANDING YOUR BENEFITS

we need all the high income workers storming the Labor Department. why? because your employer is obligated to pay the other half portion of your benefits.

YOU ARE LITERALLY GIVING MONEY TO BY NOT CLAIMING YOUR UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

go get them.

don't care about the public's wellbeing:

Techno-optimism *can solve every problem. Adherents object to commonsense guardrails or precautions. Philanthropic initiatives: PR effort. Cheerleaders willfully blind to most of society’s problems & programs embrace a techno-optimistic mindset invest in tech-heavy fixes w/o addressing: inequality that led to digital divides. It pervades govts/NGOs, just as it has influenced the thinking of billionaires like Andreessen.

Consider how long it took society to realize the net negative that is. How long before we saw the scam of the#gigeconomy for what it was? After a decade of breathless promises, people are no longer seriously waiting on and is finally seen by the wider public as the toxic libertarian fraud it always was.

Consider all this and that has only been in the public consciousness for about a year and ALREADY non-tech-oriented outlets are lampooning it for the bald-faced nonsense that it is as well as the who shill it as the robber barons they are. I am not going to say that we have yet learned our lesson, but this is to me a very promising sign. https://youtu.be/20TAkcy3aBY

Damn, I was suddenly reminded that the Tech-Bro Hypes about how a new technology would revolutionize daily life and society didn't start with the dotcom bubble in the late 90s.
It goes back at leas to the early 80s.

Robot servants at home were the future, man!

And this whole current AI fad looks indistinguishable to me.

2020s AI used to implement the Gaza Genocide.

The Human race is going to fuck itself like this and Big Business will be funding it all the way to Oblivion.

so this Guardian article:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/03/israel-gaza-ai-database-hamas-airstrikes

is based on a +972Mag report:
https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/

WHICH EXPLAINS THE #AI HYPE OF THE PAST 7 MONTHS

#techbros are not only hyping AI in their war against #unions & USA's working classes; they do so while profiting from #Gaza #genocide

BTW:
how can AI identify 37,000 HAMAS combatants if they supposedly only had 30-40,0000 by Oct 7?
https://www.axios.com/2023/10/21/palestine-hamas-military-power

and as the CIA has always low-balled them at 20-25,000?
