Well I only read them if someone is FLAYED ALIVE and CONDEMNED to ETERNAL DAMNATION. Everything else is just weak sauce.

In 10 years there’s going to be a post like “TIL the US officially renamed the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario during Donald Trump’s second term, but then everyone ignored and forgot about it”

When I use CAPITALS, no one says I’m CAPITALISTIC

Yeah, a bunch of historians get together and use a quill pen to write in a big book called “History” and whatever they write is officially what has happened. The historians got together just yesterday and wrote “The USA lost the Iran war.” Now that’s the official history. /s

Alright, if you look at this story from a more reputable source (Reuters), it’s quite a bit different. Meta isn’t accused of using AI with people’s medical information to make early diagnoses and lay them off. Instead,

According to the complaint, Meta used a number of internal AI-assisted systems to score and rank employees ⁠on a ​termination list. Those included “Metamate,” a large language model assistant; an employee-trained “second ​brain” that tracked workers’ communications and documents; and a productivity score drawn from scanning keystrokes, screen content, emails and browser history, according ​to the lawsuit.

The 26 plaintiffs, who ⁠filed the lawsuit anonymously, are accusing Meta of violating federal and state laws that ban discrimination or retaliation against workers who have disabilities, take medical leave or are ​pregnant. They also claim that Meta failed to test its AI systems for ​bias in ⁠violation of recently adopted California and New York City laws.

So it’s still shitty workplace surveillance and discrimination but not the same kind of surveillance and discrimination alleged in the Twitter posts. Meta is using AI to try to rank workers’ productivity (on a bunch of shitty metrics) in a way that may discriminate against people with disabilities or who take medical leave or who are pregnant.
