I will be very curious to see how the tech CEOs who abased themselves before Trump over the last two years behave in this new political climate.

Wrote a thread on Bluesky here about the results last night— where American voters repudiated transphobia in every human-vs-human election, and embraced transphobia in every ballot initiative…

…and what people (specifically, cis people) need to do right now.

This thread assumes the WA transphobia measure will pass. As of 4PM ET the numbers look real bad. Here's some analysis if you care about numbers. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:eez4vedmpryrsq2ee4xwbrdn/post/3mziqvemy522x

Okay, so now I've had my coffee, let's talk about the situation with WA IL26-638, aka the trans girl sports ban. There are a couple things I want to lead with up top: First, while I want to get into some of the factors in play, the main driving force behind this initiative is raw transphobia.

Republicans and conservatives like "wedge strategies".

They want to ban gay marriage, but John Roberts says, no, not while I'm king.

So they go after the trans folks. They hate all of the LGBT, but they know fewer people will defend the T than the LGB. The trans folks are a "wedge". You attack sharp, at the weak point.

They go further. They go after trans *children*. Some people know trans adults and would stand up for them. But the idea of a trans *child*? That makes cis people feel icky somehow. Transgenderism feels *sexual*, somehow, children shouldn't be sexual right? Trans children are a wedge of a wedge.

They go further! Some people might get upset at hurting children. So they focus on "transgender in children's sports". A wedge, of a wedge, of a wedge. The one thing NOBODY will defend, a dirty hateful Y-chromosomal tranny, having the audacity to play SOCCER! Three levers at the same time, applying tons of targeted force to crush this single child.

And then Texas Children's Hospital opens a "detransition clinic", and even Democrats howl "oh, so you want BOYS in GIRLS SPORTS??" when you want to talk about how things are getting. — Republicans and conservatives like "wedge strategies".

Regardless of the technology, it's unconstitutional for the government to get a warrant to track every phone in a given geographical area.

We’re Asking the Ninth Circuit to Hold Reverse Location Warrants Categorically Unconstitutional

Yesterday, along with the ACLU, EFF filed an amicus brief in the Ninth Circuit court of appeals in United States v. Spurlock, a case involving a “tower dump” warrant. These overbroad warrants require cellular providers to turn over location data about every phone in a given area at a given time....

Unfortunately, the interesting parts like group chats are not standardized, so not compatible to other Fediverse platforms.

And I’m generally a bit wary of AI written projects. It’s just hard to contribute and get a community going. And a lot of those kinds of projects show some crazy initial growth. And then they might get abandoned once the developer decides to start a new hobby or stop paying for the necessary tokens. Not sure if this is the case here, though.

It’d be nice to have something like this. Ideally an interoperable version.

Dolores Huerta’s Legacy Is the Work AI Cannot Do for Us

Dolores Huerta died at home in Bakersfield. She was 96, and her close family was with her on October 28, according to the Dolores Huerta Foundation. The public record will return now to photographs of the medal and the sound of “Sí se puede.” I keep thinking about the work…

Generative AI and Jobs: A Refined Global Index of Occupational Exposure

This ILO Working Paper refines the global measurement of occupational exposure to generative AI by combining task-level data, expert input, and AI model predictions. It offers an improved methodological framework to assess how GenAI may impact jobs across countries and sectors.

Hall of Honor Inductee: Dolores Huerta

Dolores HuertaRaised by a single mother in the farm worker community of Stockton, California, as a young girl, Huerta observed the inhumane conditions faced by migrant farm workers and dedicated her life to the men and women who harvest America's fields. Huerta co-founded the National Farm Workers Association in 1962.

ILO Live - The particulars of data work in AI’s supply chain

Modern artificial intelligence depends on a global workforce carrying out large volumes of data-related tasks, often under challenging and largely invisible working conditions. In this keynote, Alex Taylor will look closely at the particular nature of data work and how human judgements and subjectivities are broken down, organized and incorporated into datasets and AI models. The session will connect these everyday forms of work to the wider political and economic structures underpinning AI supply chains, and consider what new combinations of research and expertise are needed to better understand their implications for workers and society. The keynote forms part of INDL-9, the ninth annual conference of the International Network on Digital Labour, held at the ILO in Geneva.
