"Clay Trauernicht, one of Hawaii’s most prominent #wildfire experts...said the deadly Maui blaze has shown clearly how nonnative grasses — many of them on former plantation lands that have been left substantially unmanaged by large #corporate landowners — can cause what might be an otherwise manageable #fire to balloon in size." https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/13/us/hawaii-wildfire-factors.html

The #ImageDescription function of Microsoft's #Bing is outright lying to people with vision impairments about what appears in images it receives. It's bad enough when an #LLM is allowed to tell lies that a person can easily check for veracity themselves. But how the hell are you going to offer this so-called service to someone who can't check the claims being made and NEEDS those claims to be correct?
How long till someone gets poisoned because Bing lied and told someone it was food that hasn't expired when it has, or that it's safe to drink when it's cleaning solution, or God knows what? This is downright irresponsible and dangerous. #Microsoft either needs to put VERY CLEAR disclaimers on their service, or just take it down until it can actually be trusted.

80 followers · 401 posts · Server universeodon.comToo often, there’s confusion about how #wages became decoupled from #productivity gains, how #CorporateResponsibility became a thing of the past, how every facet of #American life came to be #monetized by the #FinancialIndustry
May I present #MiltonFriedman & the #FriedmanDoctrine of 1970.
“…there is one and only one social responsibility of business—to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game, which is to say, engages in open and free competition without deception or fraud.”
To give him his due, he probably did not foresee the full capture of #government by corporations, which let them change those “rules of the game” - gutting worker & environmental protections and allowing #monopolies to rise again.
His work was used to give cover to #Reaganism, #Thatcherism and all that has followed. 😑
