This article asks, "whether this is open to abuse", but imo, the very existence and implementation of this tech *IS* abuse.
No matter how "restricted" it is. No matter how little an employer uses it.
This is a level of surveillance that is inherently abusive.

microsoft promised to "empower every user" and google to "revolutionise knowledge and technological innovation" but in reality what they have given us is an invasive surveillance dystopian nightmare hard to escape

To propose that GenAI can compensate for "archival silences" perverts Trouillot's work. It's is a contradiction to say that a product whose logic exacerbates power imbalances--creating a most-likely guess based on the existing record--can restore absences that are the product of those imbalances.

I attribute part of that man sitting in the WH now to people who edit his history to starting with The Apprentice. His public resume is edited so that it looks like he hasn't been failing since the 80s. He was selling himself to rappers for attention way back in the 90s.
Tr*mp started his career in the public eye by pretending to fire people from fake jobs. Now he’s worked his way up to being in charge of an administration that has murdered* at least 86 people. What do you think is next?

Everything is a FUCKING joke now
FIFA President Gianni Infantino awards Trump the inaugural 2025 FIFA Peace Prize
This new award was created days after Trump failed to win the Nobel.
His own “Department of War” is being accused of murdering survivors hanging off a shipwreck.
Peace? Not really.

ICE fired a munition at Rep. Adelita Grijalva as she demanded answers during a raid in her own community. No warning. No accountability. Just armored agents treating Tucson like a war zone. If they’ll fire at a Congresswoman on camera, imagine what they do to everyone else. Sick MFers.

Convincing many ordinary Americans that it would cost them less to abandon democracy at home and abroad was one of Trump's most effective and personally profitable tricks.

Americans don't want to spend money on overseas wars or nation-building. So Trump lied during his decade-plus-long campaign, presenting himself as an anti-interventionist.
Now he's increasing the military budget to all-time highs and threatening war around the globe while cutting domestic programs
