#crisisline — Public Fediverse posts

Will someone PLEASE show me the railroad track carrying all the pseudoscience surveillance trains hauling "AI"-assist, instant "AI" QA, and sentiment detection "AI" to the US #988Lifeline, so I can lay down on the tracks and get it over with.

Ill-gotten conversations as data, stolen from persons when vulnerable. Impossible to have meaningful consent for that, to build these models. Includes exploitation of #CrisisLine workers. They are vulnerable in those moments also.

Pseudoscience for surveillance, control, to institutionalize and sanction continued neglect of basic supports for crisis lines, and in society.

Where's #SAMHSA? Where's the #FTC?

One example, they also have an automated QA product.

Linking here to important work by Dan Fichter (he/him) and Greta Opzt (they/them) from survey of #CrisisLineWorkers. Final report here:
https://www.crisiscrowd.org/survey/2023/report

& here's a link to webpage with other resources, Dan's notes on the study and #KaiserFamilyFoundation reporting out today.
https://www.crisiscrowd.org/

Thoughts: This is important because it centers the voices of #CrisisLine workers. Also, because Dan and Greta have the ability--and access--to communicate the messages to authorities within the systems.

In the US, the federal gov't agency #SAMHSA contracts with a non-profit #Vibrant to administer the #988Lifeline. This might solve some problems, but it creates many others. Non-profit is a tax designation & this is a capitalist system of "care". It also makes accountability difficult, except for the most egregious offenses that catch a day of heat, then we move on. Besides these links, you also got my commentary!

I'm working on building a list of contacts - individuals and orgs - w/ ability to reach individual crisis line workers. Organizing is on horizon.

#CrisisLine workers are typically isolated. In some cases, intentionally, by orgs they work for.

📢 Send contacts my way please! ty

My email is at advocacy website contact page: https://reformcrisistextline.com/contact/
