A new report from the Distributed AI Research Institute (DAIR) exposes the dark underbelly of technology-driven workplace surveillance.โ Above the text is an old school television with an antenna featuring a surveillance snapshot from a camera inside of an Amazon delivery van. The Amazon logo is upside down and is a frown. Around the television are disembodied eyes and ears.
                                                
    
    
    
    
            ๐จNEW๐จ from DAIR:
Today we are releasing "Driven Down", a new report on how workplace technology enables Amazon to steal wages, hide labor,
intensify poor working conditions, and evade responsibility.

                Trump fires labor statistics boss hours after the release of weak jobs report
                Without evidence, Trump called the data "rigged" and implied that BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer manipulated the numbers "for political purposes."
            
        
    
    
            Firing the head of a data agency in this case the bureau of labor statistics is a classic authoritarian move when the actual data is not the data authoritarians want.

            I donโt think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make whatโs happening now look like childโs play. And people are disappearing.

            I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. Iโm sorry we have to live through this.

Let's avoid going back to the bad old days of company scrip where your company salary only works at company store, they trap you, & devalue wages... but on a computer.

                4.5 Million Drones Is A Lot Of Drones. Itโs Ukraineโs Goal For 2025.
                The Russian production goal is slightly lower.
            
        
    
    
            Drone production is up to ~4 million side per year Russiaโs invasion of Ukraine ~8m total for 2025.
Killing & kill chains may be the biggest real-world application of robotics today.
I wonder how many drone papers are honest about this vs โsearch & rescueโ.

Calling something ideological without being specific is just stating a tautology and giving yourself away.

                Airlines Don't Want You to Know They Sold Your Flight Data to DHS
                A contract obtained by 404 Media shows that an airline-owned data broker forbids the feds from revealing it sold them detailed passenger data.
            
        
    
    
            New from 404 Media: Delta, United, American etc don't want you to know they sold your flight data to DHS. The country's airlines sell bulk names and flight itineraries to DHS to be searched without a warrant. Contract tells DHS to not reveal where this data came from www.404media.co/airlines-don...
