Is this the next Chiquita?

No one requested self driving cars. Goodbye.

No one ever requested screens instead of buttons. It’s probably some BS some CEO came up with and forced the engineers to implement.

Is this article some kind of apple propaganda?

P. S: I fucking hate Windows.

I found them to be useful because I usee to be in an erratic team where people either get a lot done or drag projects on for years. At least the project draggers had no place to hide when needing to report their project daily.

In my current job we only have these stand-up type meetings once weekly which made a big difference because many people had more interesting things to report and it wasn’t some kind of lip service, instead people were genuinely haring progress.

No to all cults in general, as a rule of thumb

Emphasis added. Storing files is not the problem. Nobody cared when they were just scanning and storing them. The problem arose when they started giving out copies. And worse, giving out copies without restriction - libaries “lend” ebooks by using DRM systems to try to ensure that only a specific number of copies are out “in circulation” at any given time, and so the big publishers have turned a blind eye to that.

But libraries do not do that to limit access… (I think, unless there is some kind of copyright law making it necessary to restrict access). Don’t they do do that because they have a limited number of book copies that they need to maintain to meet the book lending demands in their area? Seems to me like they are just trying ro maximise people’s access to books given the constraints. Any digital library can obviously do this much faster.

It’s not only that it discriminated against certain groups, but also that it in itself has a high enough error rate to make it unusable for any decision making. MAYBE to select people for screening, but we would be falling further down into a dystopian future.

At the current performance, none if these AIs should be involved in anything this critical.

This is not at all what I said. If a machine was complex enough to reason, all power to it. But these LLMs cannot.

I fucking hate how OpenAi and other such companies claim their models “understand” language or are “fluent” in French. These are human attributes. Unless they made a synthetic brain, they can take these claims and shove them up their square tight corporate behinds.

I think you misread Swedish law and are (on purpose?) misreading what happened at Google. I have nothing more to say other than the above in my previous comments. Have a nice day.

Exactly

I can heae beyond his buzzwords that what he means is that thibgs are awful and morale is low, and that he hopes it is now over but we all know it isn’t.

And let’s not get started on ‘Employer Unions’ like ALMEGA (which in my head is synonymous with Satan)

Seems to me that the problem is bankers. Not the average Joe

I want to say I understand your point. You sre saying misconduct laws are vague and that allows employers to fire employees for BS. You also seem to think those Google employees committed some kind of ‘misconduct’. I disagree.

The issue in my opinion is that you are basing it on the law sounding vague… and ignoring the part where employees would receive warnings that first and foremost makes it clear to them that such a thing is regarded as misconduct and could lead to.termination… and you are ignoring that in is able to appeal the decision with the help of a union representative. Then you are ignoring all free speech laws and the fact that this is not a common culture or occurrence in Sqeden .

I work in Sweden and have read the law a million times. I also raised problems at work and challenged authority and was never fired nor sent to HR or anything like that. There are laws in Sweden that act as a safety net to prevent employers from firing a person for such trivial shit. Has this ever happened? If no one seems to interpret this as misconduct in Sweden, then where is your claim coming from?

So allow me to rephrase the question to you in a more civil way: aside from the “law being vague”, do you have reason(s) to believe that staging a sitdown as protest in Sweden or having coffee and a chat with people staging a reasonable peaceful and coordinated protest in Swede would get you fired?

This may be the case for some European countries (I have no idea and won’t speak our of my asa about places I don’t know much about) but not Sweden. If you never worked here, then you may not understand how Swedish law and unions work exactly with cases like this. I am quite thankful to live in this kind of society where my employer cannot fire me just because they would rather fund the literal mutilation of thousands of children and be complicit in international human rights violations.

And for the example you cited: as someone who has worked in Stockholm specifically and works there now: no, that would not be grounds to fire you, and you can appeal by law and get help from your union representative.

If you are unaware of Swedish law, I would advice that you avoid generalizing European laws to Sweden

Everyone has imagined someone naked at some point. Do you feel the same? How do you feel about yourself?

We both agree that misconduct is a thing. We disageew on what miscobduct means. I hope that makes it clear.

Have you read that article btw?

I am not sure what exactly you are asking me to show… in Sweden (as said in the link you posted and as I already know by actually working in Sweden for years) is that you have to warn workers of msiconduct and they can appeal your decision if it’s dumb as fuck (like what Google did). Do you have any reason at all to believe that workers in Sweden would be fired in a similar way? I don’y think so. This shit does not happen here, and there are mechanisms that give employees and unions power to stop it.

Like read this shit:

Google fired workers who willingly left the sit-in when asked by company officials, and also fired some workers who “had just stopped by to chat,” Hasan Ibraheem, one of the Google workers who was arrested and fired, said Monday during a news conference.

so do you have any case whatsoever that shows that this shit would fly at a Swedish company? One where it was legally challenged at least? If no, then what exactly is your point?

PS: sorry can’t be bothered to fix spelling lol. Your tone was so crap that it even put me off trying to explain my point. You cannot fire people in Sweden for doing whay those employees at Google did.

You can feel whatever you want.

Fair grounds for dismissal means that an employee is behaving in an undesirable way and is aware that the behaviour is not acceptable. As an employer, you are therefore obliged to make the employee aware that you consider their behaviour to be improper.

Misconduct, such as failure to cooperate, incompetence and poor work performance, can be fair grounds for dismissal on grounds of misconduct.

So yes, again we agree, there is a law of misconduct. Can you demonstrate any reasonable example where an employer in Sweden was fired on such grounds because they protest peacefully against their own company making an unethical deal with a questionable government or the like?

Also your tone is just shit.

Can you give me the exact law that says this would be the case in Sweden?
