"Human workers at companies like @AppenGlobal often handle the more distasteful parts of training AI and are the lower-paid, often ignored backbone of the entire industry."
How is @Google going to become a leader in AI without the workers who train AI?

Also, I’d love to see this type of transparency in the AI space. Like…
Cost of training/dev infra, whence your data + what $/process to obtain/curate it, who does data labeling + curation + RLHF, how many workers at what $…cost of inference at X load for Y use case on Z infra,
Signal is a nonprofit. But what does this mean in practice? Today we do something most tech co’s avoid: talk money. What does it cost for Signal to play in a lane dominated by billion $ corporations, while rejecting the surveillance business model? 1/

RID is leaving Twitter due to Elon Musk eliminating the Accessibility team. One of RID’s values is accessible & effective communication access in all spaces where diverse, intersectional Deaf lives are impacted. Access for all. Now.

Everyone shocked about a drop in US life expectancy while looking at their phone in 2AM instead of sleeping because they have to work 90 hours a week, and planning their meals of food that's 70% processed sugar because that's what's affordable at the grocery store on average pay.

Currently, #PARALYZED is trending as fans of Big Time Rush are asking them to release this song. I'm not seeing the same white disabled influencers calling them out for ableist language as they did with Lizzo and Beyonce.
As a Black woman wheelchair user, I ain't surprised.

The more the pressure piles on, the worse things become. Families start to buckle under the strain - and still the answer is to keep pushing, no matter what the fall out. 12/

The pushback just blows my mind. It's like millions of employees are telling their bosses, "No thanks, we don't need a fancy corporate retreat and Friday beer hall, save the money," and the boss is like "FUCK YOU you're going to come to beer hall and LIKE IT".

Rather than trying to read the minds of white, slave-owning men who have been dead for 2 centuries, maybe we should just do the right things for people who are alive today.

Not what I’m saying at all… rather I’m suggesting the insecurity of prepubescent males along with the culture of bro-ness in many online spaces provides a default pipeline that can lead to radical right views.

The 14th Street Subway Station was known as a social hub for youth #DeafNYC. Teens left their schools, some of which prohibited signing, on Friday afternoon and dashed to the 14th Street Station where they would meet to chat, sign freely, and make plans for the weekend. (1/2)
ALT The image shows an image of the interior of the 14th street union square station. In the middle, there is a large building post with art on it. The large post has colorful titles on it. The art appears to show an eagle rising its wings, with the number '14' on the front. The image also shows a small building post that is painted red. In the background, there is two hallway and both are facing sideways. There is also a sign saying 'UNION SQUARE'. The text is white on the top of a black sign.
