Protip to Google employees: if you're going to protest, do an actual protest instead of whatever this performative crap was.
We need a lot more of them to join https://www.alphabetworkersunion.org/ .
The biggest action I know of was the Women's walkout in 2018, about 20k employees. But, no persistent action and no escalation, so no real result.
LMAO a hunger strike in front of companies who literally don't give a shit if you live or die.
I think the scariest thing about Artificial Intelligence is the absolute fucking basement-dwelling, fart-sniffing, booger-eating, antisocial narcissists with zero ability to empathize with other human beings developing and "training" it. They spend their lives acting like a victim because they're "autistic" but I have met plenty of autistic people who aren't self-aggrandizing, narcissistic assholes, so it's not because of the autism, it's because they're assholes.
We're essentially letting AI learn socialization from the people with the least quality socialization skills and interpersonal skills available. That's the scary part, the idiotic shit it will learn from these narcissistic fucking idiots.
Autistic person here, this 👆 I've actually found it drives me in a positive direction due to sense of justice and hyper empathy, both from autism. If anything, they are fighting against that to be evil pieces of shit.
