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.
Finally, an excuse to wokely hate people who stock shelves at grocery stores.
Kroger, one of the US's largest grocery chains, has said that data is one of a few "alternative profit" businesses that could add $1 billion in profit to the company. Right now, those businesses generate about $150 million in profit, The Markup reported.
Seriously, Fuck off
You can't have it both ways, comrade: Either you use this to locally harass cashiers, or you admit you made a bad comment that's strangely popular among leftists.
Face eating leopards & all that
So do fast food chains and supermarkets. Please don't be rude to the next person that serves you food.
No, fast food and supermarkets primary business model is to sell you food. The privacy violations are just a bonus. Facebooks primary business model is to violate your privacy. The fact that you can talk to your friends is just a bonus.

So I shouldn't be rude to the person who's using AI regardless of the fact they know what the impacts of using it are?

Mcdonald's isn't trying to get me to vote against my own free will by exploiting my user data dude.
I'm cool with eating garbage cheeseburgers because my Metadata is being used to manipulate me into thinking it's great. I'm not cool with eating the actions of garbage politicians because my Metadata is being used to manipulate me into thinking they're great.

Wow. Fuck me for saying not to be nasty towards anyone who works for a restaurant. True class solidarity in these parts.

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?
They really drank the kool aid when zuckerfuck said he just wanted to connect people.
Yeah yeah, but surveillance is meant for everyone else, surely not for them. The safest place to be is inside the lion's den innit.
Until it isn't.
Nobody takes responsibility for the consequences of their work. It's always, "well people need a job"
Fuck that
Also meta is all about exploiting people, not sure what did they expect joining it
Meta workers privacy invaded.
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.

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.
Not a privacy invasion if it's a laptop given by the company. Do not do personal tasks on a computer you don't own, keep your personal devices and work devices seperate.
Not a privacy invasion if it’s a laptop given by the company.
This might not be an option open for everyone but you could be not working for a shitty company in the first place
This exactly. My company has a disclaimer everytime you log into a system to tell you as much. "there is not expectation of privacy".
We don't have the same level of keylogging and webcams access that they are talking about here. But I think most people would be surprised at the amount that we can see.
