150 AI Workers Vote to Unionize at Nairobi Meeting

More than 150 workers for Facebook, TikTok and ChatGPT pledged to establish the first African Content Moderators Union

[pepperf]

From what I understand from the article, it’s even rougher than normal content moderation: a lot of these workers were hired to train AIs like ChatGPT away from, well, all the worst that the web could provide, to detoxify it for the end users. They are specifically given the worst stuff that can be dredged up from the depths of the internet, and asked to label it - so that the AI can use that data to identify hatespeech, suicide ideation, racism, CSA, etc etc.

It’s an awful job, and some are paid less than $2 an hour. Workers have PTSD. Are they being offered counselling, support, compensation? Fuck no, they get punished for speaking up.

Good luck to the African Content Moderators Union, I hope they get the protections and compensation that their workers need.

Abolish  the  Electoral  College 

[sunagirl]

LOOK AT FUCKING TEXAS. IT’S FUCKING PURPLE. TEXAS IS NOT AS CONSERVATIVE AS PEOPLE THINK. Those blue spots in Texas? That’s over 60% of the state population in those like 10 or so counties. Texas ain’t red. The electoral college is skewed right because it gives equal weight to counties with vastly different populations. 40% of the population decides every electoral vote in the state. Electoral College is bullshit.

So you might have seen this image going around the internet.

[ID: A high school hallway crammed with shoulder-to-shoulder teenagers, about three of whom are wearing masks. End ID.]

This is a high school in my area. This was the first day back. This picture, taken by a student, went viral (ha), and the superintendent was more or less forced to make a statement. It’s long and it’s a lot of bullshit but here’s the big stupid part.

“One area where we have received a good deal of feedback is mask use in our schools. Wearing a mask is a personal choice and there is no practical way to enforce a mandate to wear them. What we will do is continue to strongly encourage all students and staff to wear masks.”

If I have to explain to you the staggering level of bullshit in this statement, then you’ve never been an AFAB person in high school. Tank top? Sent home. Jeans too tight? Home. Collarbones showing? Home. Never mind the application of out-of-school suspension, which is its own kind of bullshit that we’re not here to discuss today. If you can send someone home for showing too much ankle you can send them home for not wearing a mask.

I’ve seen pushback against him on Twitter but they’ve already proven they don’t give a shit what we think, or care about the safety of the students OR staff. Only that things look like they’ve gone back to normal.

So it’d be a real shame if people from all over blew up their phones at 770-443-8000 or used faxzero.com to send 5 free faxes per day to 770-443-8089 making known their concerns about this anti-response to a massive public health risk. Make it a national issue and maybe shame our government into acting like they’ve got a single brain cell between them. It’d just be real upsetting. I’m just saying.

HEY GUESS WHAT IT’S WORSE THAN THAT

“ Within days of that workout, several North Paulding [football] players had tested positive for the coronavirus. The school’s parents were notified just hours before the first day of class.”

“James’ parents saw the photograph that had been circulating Tuesday and told him, ‘You are not going back to school again,’ he said. But a few hours later, his mother had spoken to the school and was told that students who ‘chose not to go to school’ could face suspension or expulsion.“

“Any student found criticizing the school on social media could face disciplinary consequences.”

This is a fraction of the article, please read the whole thing. I didn’t know about the expulsion threats - there was a literal three-day window to enroll for virtual. These kids are forced to choose between their health and their academic career. I can’t form words, I’m so fucking mad. Please don’t let them get away with this unscathed - Kemp either, this is his goddamn fault.

A massive explosion claimed the lives of around 78 people and thousands have been injured. It's time we join our hands in prayer for the victims and the citizens of Beirut.

[aci25]

UPDATE: At least 10 people were killed by an explosion in Beirut, security officials told @reuters Lebanese security official announces that “explosive material” was stored in a warehouse in Beirut’s port (a very heavily populated area). Israel has long accused Hezbollah of storing explosive weapons in downtown Beirut. At least 15 people killed and hundreds more injured.

The cause and total casualties are unknown

“Dozens” wounded, say officials

Witnesses report people hit by flying glass, debris

Explosion heard 150 miles away in Cyprus

It's not just him which is what's scary to me. Who was on duty with him at the time? Who is his commanding officer? Who is the district attorney that choose not to pursue charges against him? Which judges looked the other way?

Please don't interpret this as me letting Brian off of the hook. When we say that racism is systemic then not everything can be pinned on an individual. There are levels of beaucrats that make this happen and all of them need to be held accountable.

This is insane and as an American second gen kpop fan I AM LIVID.

BIGBANG, CN BLUE, FT. ISLAND, HIGHLIGHT…. These are some of the biggest, most influential kpop groups in the industry’s history and some of my personal favorites.

HOW DARE THESE MEN have the arrogance and audacity to think that they are above the law and treat women in this way.

THIS IS A SOUTH KOREAN CULTURE ISSUE.

THIS IS A KPOP INDUSTRY ISSUE.

And if you younger fans think that this doesn’t go on with 3rd gen groups too, you’re highly mistaken. They all do it. And it’s not okay. And it’s unfair that the fans are the ones who suffer.

Police in New York say two men are suspected of setting an 89-year old woman on fire. Cefaan Fan of WABC reports the woman is Chinese American, although her name has not been released.

Authorities say the men slapped the woman. When she resisted, they set her shirt on fire on 16th Avenue and 77th Street.  According to ABC7, the victim was not seriously injured.

Authorities released a video tape of the suspect and are asking anyone with any information to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).

According to 1010 Wins, this is the latest in a series of attacks on the elderly in New York.

Weeks ago, a 78-year old woman sustained a punch as she walked down the street.

Police arrested a man just days earlier on charges of slamming a 92-year old woman to the ground.

This after a man was robbed and knocked to the ground in the Bronx.

Milwaukee Police Have Been Caught Sex Trafficking Children By Neighborhood And Nobodies Talking About it

HERES WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

Originally 2 girls went missing in the neighborhood and after many attempts at trying to get police to help, which they refused to do, the community took it upon themselves which is how they landed on the sex trafficking house

“Before we came out here, there were nine kids missing, after we came out here four kids were returned,” said community organizer Frank Nitty, narrating a live video on Facebook from the scene around 7:00 p.m. But the number of kids returned might only be two, as Morales later reported one of the teenage girls wasn’t found and Nitty said another child ran away. 

This was all Live Streamed on Facebook

multiple fires being set by unidentified individuals (most likely to get rid of evidence) and gas and non-lethal force being used by the police department. 

Demetrius, the steamer who filmed the cops sneaking children out the back of the house is targeted by police for reprisals. They just pulling him over and are arresting him for nebulous reasons and are impounding his car.  An angry crowd is gathering.

Cops tear gassed and shot at crowed with rubber bullets 

People who went inside the cops’ child kidnapping/rape house say they found a room with a bed and floor covered in blood 

As for the house?  Well the house not only burned Tuesday night but also has a lengthy history of visits from the Milwaukee Police Department. According to its dispatch log, officers have visited the home at least 27 times in the past four years. The house was burned last night by a crowd after members of the group charged that criminals were using the home and others nearby for sex trafficking.

Cops parked their van near the house and quickly rescued the SEX TRAFFICKERS by putting tarps over their faces to hide their identities and get them safely away from angry crowed.
