Redditors #prank #AI - powered #news mill with “Glorbo” in World of #Warcraft

On Thursday, a Reddit user named kaefer_kriegerin posted a #fake #announcement on the World of Warcraft subreddit about the introduction of "Glorbo" to the game. #Glorbo isn't real, but the post successfully exposed a #website that scrapes Reddit for news in an automated fashion with little human oversight.

#RishiSunak British Prime Minister tweeted:

If you come to the #UK illegally you will be DENIED access to the UK's modern #slavery #system

Source: https://nitter.nl/RishiSunak/status/1633158789103747072

The scope of this #statement is very extreme and no misunderstanding:

UK is a member of the Council of #Europe (not to be confused with the European Union where it left) and therefore committed to #humanRights.

Human rights are inalienable and must be granted to all #refugees. By a claim of these rights and the accompanying modern slavery clearly violates human rights. This is contrary to European values and puts UK in line with China.

Unfortunately, #China and #Russia show that #politics can be conducted without these values. But what will remain of this world if Europe no longer even symbolically adheres to these values?

#Twitter: #Musk feuert Ingenieur, weil seine Tweets so wenig angesehen werden

Musk habe Angestellte versammelt, um in Erfahrung zu bringen, warum seine Tweets weniger oft angesehen werden. Einer der beiden verbliebenden leitenden Ingenieure habe dann spekuliert, dass das Interesse an Musk einfach insgesamt zurückgegangen sei. Das zeigten auch die Google-Trends. "Du bist entlassen, du bist entlassen", habe Musk daraufhin geantwortet.

Die Arbeitsbedingungen werden überall schlechter. Zeit für einen Generalstreik.

#ElonMusk turns #Twitter into 'hotel' for #staff

source: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-63897608

The BBC has been given photos of Twitter #office space that has been converted into bedrooms, which #SanFrancisco authorities are probing as a possible building code violation.

I can't imagine that anyone would want to #work there under these conditions. Probably the only #employees left are those whose visas are tied to the #job and who therefore can't quit. The solution would be so simple if employees were allowed to work from #home, but the great #Musk doesn't want that.

#Crypto winter is here—and #NFT #artist #royalties are under #hreat

source: https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2022/12/02/nft-artist-royalties-under-threat

Even though NFT creator fees are #contracts, #blockchain #code cannot actually enforce #token transfer stipulations, rendering those contracts essentially voluntary by design. From an operational perspective, royalties were never guaranteed on the blockchain; instead, the documentation of each NFT only requests a royalty, a procedure that platforms have previously honoured in more favourable #market conditions.

In the end, apart from the #scam, there is not much left to speak about in favor of Crypto.
