eilidh, sus took her home

@JeffGrigg @AmyZenunim My last job was in healthcare IT. I resigned in protest because I refused to participate in the provisioning of a so-called "AI scribe" product in provider exam rooms. So believe me, I know.

@AmyZenunim I'm so sorry. That's such bullshit. :neocat_heart: This kind of shit is why I'm trying to get the pre-reqs I need to get into a nursing program. I'm just done with professional computer touching at this point. I hope you're eventually able to find a job that doesn't force this kind of horse shit on you. Or if you're actually serious about the farm thing, I do know some pretty rad resources for aspiring farmers I could send your way?

The Grind, probably one of Toronto's best independent local newspapers, is being sued by IDF reservist Jonathan Karten over their reporting of his assault of people protesting a pro-IDF event. They're looking to raise funds for their legal defence. Details in the link. https://www.thegrindmag.ca/the-grind-is-being-sued-by-an-idf-reservist-soldier/

Zuckerberg's new smart glasses records 24/7 for "AI" purposes or whatever? So like, even if you can trust the device owners (shocking news: you can't) those images are still going to Meta. Even if you can somehow believe AI seeing literally everything isn't a problem (spoilers: it is). Anyone remember how Tesla employees have been caught perving on their customers multiple times with the cameras built-in to their cars? AI isn't going to be the only ones looking at those pictures.

@cargot_robbie@urbanists.social least expensive MIPS helmet IMO. MEC has one for $90, which i seem to recall getting on sale for around $80.

@idzie@kolektiva.social ??? what the fuck

@cargot_robbie@urbanists.social yeah, i don't get helmets with devices in them. i can almost buy the disposability of a cheap LED strip for extra visibility, but then they throw a lithium-ion battery in there to power it? god. there's gotta be a better solution.
