  1. Kenyan #workers are the unsung heroes of #AI, valiantly fighting against the very robots they train, all while still getting paid peanuts 🥜. They are the true "African #Intelligence," yet somehow nobody thought to call Siri "Susan from Nairobi." 🤖🌍 Meanwhile, #tech #giants continue claiming they're building Skynet... one #underpaid worker at a time. 💻🤑

    As I said, I still do #opensource but care a lot less... the last straw was when I got a literal *#deaththreat* from someone because I hadn't worked on a #project in a while. (due to personal circumstances)

    I dropped that project like a brick, locked everything down and went underground for 2-3 years. Not because I was afraid but rather fed up. Not the best approach but still.

  4. OVERWORKED AND UNDERPAID

    🗞 We all heard by now that the situation in Hollywood is not very good at the moment. A lot of Visual Effects artists are overworked and underpaid resulting in some atrocious CGI like in The Flash 2023. Studios even considering replacing those overworked and underpaid VFX artists with AI technology. Because it can make better images and co ...

  5. Our web team has four people on it. One person is out for the week on vacation and that means that for some reason me (who's a DBA, not on the web team) is the only one here who knows how to update certificates on keystores, so now I'm doing the work of two teams. Not sure what the other three on that team are doing...

  6. I really hate cleaning so I outsource it through a company that services my apartment building. Amenify raised the cost of my 2x/month clean, which took 30-40 minutes, from $120/month to $299/month.

    Whaaaa? So I asked the very nice woman who cleans my apartment if she'd gotten a raise recently. Any guess to her answer?

    I had to cancel. $150 for 30 minutes of cleaning my place is ridiculous and unethical. I feel terrible because I really like my cleaner but I'm priced out and I don't want to pay that shitty company any more money.

    I am so mad I wrote the CEO a polite but clear note via LinkedIn as to why I've canceled after 3 years.

    Tweet from Yusuf @yusuf_VI

    We're depressed because we're #overworked, #underpaid, can't afford our #studentDebt, can't afford a #doctor, can't afford a home, can't afford a family, while people at the top take most of the value of our #labor for themselves. We don't need better drugs. We need a better #economy.

  8. I'm hoping my colleagues have already heard this news, but just in case: "After three months on strike, unionized HarperCollins employees will return to work ... February 21, after voting 194–10 to ratify a labor agreement ... that includes a higher minimum salary and new benefits." bit.ly/3XPmxjU

  9. At work today. Providing the 7 day NHS service that the government doesn’t think exists! Never forget that Austerity is a political decision to underfund and devalue public services, while creating huge profits for Tory donors. #ToryCorruption #NHSDoctorLife #WeekendWorking #OnCall #Underpaid #Undervalued #7DayWorking #Underfunded #politics
