Partial #justice. No amount of money will compensate for decades of humiliation to the millions of Iraqis dead, living and unborn.

It's time for legislation to end NHS #outsourcing

MPs get an opportunity every year to enter a ballot for a chance to table any bill of their choice to be debated and voted on.

You have an incredible opportunity to get your MP to enter the ballot - and then work with We Own It on a bill to end NHS outsourcing.

The deadline for MPs to enter this ballot is 6pm on Wednesday 4th September.

Whether you live in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, this affects you because decisions made about NHS England affect funding for the NHS in every UK nation. You have just 48 hours to write to your MP to enter the ballot.

So why a British person shilling for Democrats? The reason is historical. It all goes back to the Smith-Mundt Act(1948), which prohibited propaganda and disinformation by entities associated with the US government being directed at US citizens. This forced many US organizations that took public funding and wanted to perform online PsyOps on Americans to base their operations in foreign countries. Naturally, the best candidates to act in these American-focused PsyOps would be in the anglosphere, for obvious language reasons. Major fake NGOs and State Department organizations set up shop in countries with large English language populations, recruiting locals to spam Americans with propaganda, disinformation, and bullshit. While the Smith-Mundt Act was gutted by Obama to allow unfettered goverment disinformation to be unleashed on the American public, the infrastructure and staff for the organizations based in Britain, Australia, and New Zealand remain to this day (cheap labor, don't you know).

We are #outsourcing #morality at this point, we are outsourcing #combat operations, we are outsourcing moving children, we are training other individuals, we are outsourcing #police operations. These are very morally poignant jobs that we are just giving to people 'saying hey you've had 2 weeks of training; come on in'.

The Workers Behind #AI Rarely See Its Rewards. This Indian #Startup Wants to Fix That

Chopra isn’t the first tech founder to rhapsodize about the potential of #AI data #work to benefit the world’s poorest. Sama, an #outsourcing company that has handled contracts for #OpenAI’s #ChatGPT and #Meta’s #Facebook, also marketed itself as an “ethical” way for tech companies to lift people in the Global South out of #poverty. But as I reported in January, many of its ChatGPT workers in Kenya—some earning less than $2 per hour—told me they were exposed to training data that left them traumatized. The #company also performed similar content moderation work for Facebook; one worker on that project told me he was fired when he campaigned for better working conditions. When asked by the BBC about low wages in 2018, Sama’s late founder argued that paying workers higher #could disrupt local economies, causing more harm than good. Many of the data workers I’ve spoken to while reporting on this industry for the past 18 months have bristled at this logic, saying it’s a convenient narrative for companies that are getting rich off the proceeds of their labor.

Our prosperity is based on merciless exploitation. No new knowledge and new technologies do not change this.

“The problem is, when you’re using artificial data, you acquire the errors from the misunderstandings of the models and statistical errors,” he says. “You need to make sure that your errors are not biasing the output of other models, and there’s no simple way to do that.”

The people paid to train AI are outsourcing their work… to AI

It’s a practice that could introduce further errors into already error-prone models.

Mit Mitte 50 noch mal freiwillig den #Job in der IT wechseln?

Randbedingungen:
* GF und BR der alten und der neuen Firma sind involviert und es werden vertragliche Garantien ausgearbeitet
* man nimmt das wichtigste Projekt quasi mit zum neuen AG und wird dort gleich vom alten AG tageweise eingekauft - #Outsourcing. Ansonsten irgendwas mit IT-Security
* dem neuen AG eröffnet sich dadurch ein neues Geschäftsfeld
* seit 20 Jahren Erfahrung mit dem neuen AG auf Kundenseite
* massive gegenseitige Abhängigkeiten der Firmen voneinander auf allen Ebenen
* Verantwortung für die Familie. Wär' schon wichtig, dass in den nächsten Jahren auch verlässlich Kohle reinkommt.

Ich frage für einen Freund...
