Gigi 🍄‍🟫<p>Am I a bad person for thinking that people whose job description is "upholding white supremacy and capitalism" don't count as "workers"?</p><p>Let's *imagine* I was a contributing factor in someone whose job was displacing unhoused people taking stress leave.</p><p>Should I never do that again?<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AITA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AITA</span></a></p>
petersuber<p>I like to test <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> tools to see how well they answer factual questions and link to sources. For this purpose, I want to test a wide variety of tools. Among other things, that means I can't afford to pay for premium tiers and can only test the free tiers. For privacy, I only create accounts under pseudonymous email addresses. </p><p>A new AI tool just offered me a free trial of its premium edition, provided I sign up with an email address containing my real name. I declined. Two questions:</p><p>1. Why would it insist that I sign up under my real name? Is this a tip-off that its business model includes user surveillance? </p><p>2. Am I cutting off my nose to spite my face? I know I could sign up with my real name, ask innocuous test questions, and then either drop the tool or create a separate account under a pseudonym. <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AITA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AITA</span></a>?</p>
