As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Yeah, it has long been the case that adult-oriented businesses have to be careful or risk the wrath of everyone from prosecutors to payment-processing companies, but "prominent social media company owned by world's richest person swiftly became world's largest CSAM producer" produces no reaction.
Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

This has been the default imperialist position for centuries, so really the oddity was that brief period of comfortable unipolar hegemony where it seemed gauche to say it out loud. No clearer sign of late imperial anxiety than the contemporary return of this old ass monocle and pith helmet blather
On X, a senior U.S. Justice Department official is promoting a post that praises colonization as “one of the greatest things that ever happened to the backwards parts of the world.”👇

I will never understand why they replaced community submitted subtitles for this nonsense
Real human people were happy and willing to make subtitles in a variety of languages for free, and the creator had full control of what submissions were used
And they GOT RID OF IT

It finally happened. I finally ran into a Youtube video with that awful auto-dubbing feature turned on.
The video is an interview and it's... not even watchable now. Like the auto-dubbing is just saying random nonsensical words. 😭
Why did they ever think this was a good feature to implement?

So, librarians, do you have a contingency plan for when these goons enter your facility? You might not be able to block access to a public building, but how are you alerting your patrons? Do you have a plan to get them out safely? Because you should.
Your tax dollars hard at work in Minnesota at the library! Notsee LARPers everywhere these days getting those government paychecks

There is no ethical use of AI because the continued existence of the AI industry is directly harmful to (alongside everyone else) the interests of everyone whose labour makes books exist—writers of fiction & nonfiction, illustrators, translators, researchers, editors, everyone.

Whilst certain elements will get cheaper over time, it’s never going to be an inexpensive thing to run. And once the ‘free money’ dries up we’re gonna see how much of it is actually ‘here to stay’ and how much of it becomes too expensive for most use cases.

"AI is here to stay, might as well use it" is such a weak, lazy and dismissive argument. You know the damage it's doing, you know the lives, careers and industries it's destroying and you refuse to take a stand. The thief already stepped in, might as well let him take everything in my house I guess!

This, 100,000%. I've already read some oh-so-amusing tales of Christmas shopping from people who think they are being oh-so-clever but are actually being utter, utter dicks.
I've worked in retail. The customer is usually wrong, and usually very dumb, so please don't be like that.

It's that time of the year again, so once again I offer up my thanks and sympathies to everyone working in retail, this week and next. May you be blessed with kindly, smart, and above all, speedy customers, who get what they want and sod off.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.
