Tech Workers Coalition

We are a coalition of workers in and around the tech industry, labor organizers, community organizers, researchers, and friends.

It is a universally acknowledged truth that all bubbles burst. The only question is if we will hold their promoters accountable.

Have people really not caught on that this kinda shit is just another marketing gimmick yet? "Ohhh our ai... it is too powerful... dangerously powerful... you might not be able to handle all this power... please don't use this AI that we sell..."

[Mild Billy Donovan @MildBillDonovan]

No it actually confirmed what the left has been saying all along: both parties are on the same team

Most economically viable AI startup

New: the DHS officials who tried to search the man who wiped his GrapheneOS phone lied. They pushed him about having child abuse images. Documents reveal that was a pretext; he wasn't suspected of this at all. He's a Stop Cop City activist https://t.co/zrsME3rBux

🚨 The allegation that Sam Altman and OpenAI tried to squash any mention of his sister Annie from his @NYMag profile has now also been corroborated by Elizabeth Weil herself:

"It was naive to think they could keep this hidden and everyone needs to adjust themselves to reality."

[William Fitzgerald @william_fitz]

"Speculative data center debt is being repackaged and sold to pension and retirement funds, university endowments, and other institutional investors in a manner eerily reminiscent of the subprime bubble."

[The Drivers Cooperative @TheDriversCoop]

From software engineers to rideshare drivers, we are all tech workers and we're organizing! A joy to join @techworkersco & @tech_actions conference to share our experience building a worker-owned platform. More here from @_erikforman in @ForgeOrganizing: https://t.co/uGBtWf6kJa

OpenAI later clarified that the device in their offices recording all conversations and interactions to an unknown end was, surprisingly, not one of their own products. Their court filing went on to explain “this is an outrage, spying is our lane.”

[OpenAI Newsroom @OpenAINewsroom]

We discovered a sophisticated recording device that was hidden inside one of our offices. We used our models to understand the device and where it had come from, identifying that a specific employee had planted it a few days earlier. We referred the matter to the FBI, and we’re grateful to the agents and prosecutors who moved quickly to make an arrest. The FBI’s investigation is ongoing and we will continue to support their work.

At this time, we have no indications of this individual inappropriately accessing or exfiltrating model weights, source code, or customer data. The employee was terminated.

We take protecting our technology, data, and people seriously, and as a matter of national importance. Our security program is designed to protect against a wide range of threat actors, from insider risks to cybercriminals to nation states, and this case is an example of how AI can help address these sophisticated security threats.

Nice work @alexnpress

[Kyle Borland 🏳️‍🌈🔻🌳 @kgborland]

A group from OpenAI was at our neighborhood bar last night and tipped less $20 on a $500 tab. The bartenders were so pissed they were telling everyone at the bar still. Apparently, it’s the third time they’ve done it. So not only is AI ruining everything — they’re also cheap AF.

[Ed Zitron @edzitron]

Oh they’re saying when now

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

just want to point out how crazy it is the justice department put this in writing

Trump proposed an AI Force modeled off the Space Force and I'm amazed how little coverage it's gotten. Meanwhile, industry is racing to influence its creation: https://t.co/Tk0DEkiRfs

[Ryan Mac 🙃 @RMac18]

There have been so many of these stories that we are running out of unique photos of OpenAI’s headquarters to run with them

[Ed Zitron @edzitron]

Oh look another story that's basically "nobody can measure the ROI of AI"
