The Society of Authors collected survey data from 800 of its members and found that 26% of illustrators and 36% of translators had already lost work due to generative AI. This tracks completely with anecdotal data from my own reporting. Not good. www2.societyofauthors.org/2024/04/11/soa…
Chair Powell asks what problem banker pay reform addresses? Here it is citizen.org/article/inappr…
Corporate crime is underpoliced and underprosecuted. We just choose not to do anything about it. US corporations commit crimes at 20X the rate of humans, and their crimes are far worse than any human crime, but they are almost never prosecuted: pluralistic.net/2021/10/12/no-… 1/
Those are claims that the DOJ can't afford to miss, given their abysmal, sub-Trump track record on corporate crime prosecutions. 23/
We can't even bear to utter the *words* "corporate crime": instead, we deploy a whole raft of euphemisms like "risk and compliance," and that ole fave, the trusty "white-collar crime"

Knowingly causing the death of millions of people is a crime. Can you guess what industry is doing that? @David_Arkush and legal experts weigh in:
Drug shortages now at their highest level in 23 years. All my betters told me that shortages only happen in communist countries, and capitalism rises to fill every human need. But in generic hospital drug markets we have more of a kleptocracy. axios.com/2024/04/11/dru…

It's time to stop thinking of climate change like it's some sort of natural disaster. Perhaps it's time to start seeing it as a CRIME against the people of this planet.

NEW from me: Concerns about the lack of corporate criminal prosecutions from DOJ, with a focus on the top personnel leading the agency. Acting #3 at DOJ Ben Mizer was on the team that handed out sweetheart settlements to banks after the financial crisis: prospect.org/justice/2024-0…

kind of incredible to see a VC come on twitter and admit that he thinks "the correct response" to unionizing would be federal crimes
everyone should know the script by now: digital technology "automates" jobs by splitting work between the user (in this case you were trained on self-checkouts) and outsourced hyperexploited labor in other countries

Or, to be pedantic, when laughably imprecise “AI” systems probabilistically determined someone was a worthy target of death (think ad targeting but for killing) IDF waited until they went home and killed them and their family and their neighbors and their pets and etc.

Horrid new report from @972mag on an "AI" system called Lavender and "Where's Daddy?" used by the IDF. Has a 10% error rate, and acceptable "collateral" from 15 to 100 civilians per target. This is sick and the future of AI warfare for US Empire. 972mag.com/lavender-ai-is…
Important takeaway from this (genuinely stunning, extremely important) reporting is that the value of military "AI" systems like this doesn't lie in decision-making, but in the ability to use the sheen of computerized "intelligence" to justify the actions you already wanted

Biden's DOJ is arguably *more* tolerant of corporate crime than even *Trump's* Main Justice. In 2021, the DOJ brought just 90 cases - the worst year in a quarter-century. 2022's number was 99, and 2023 saw 119. 8/
Trump's DOJ did better than any of those numbers in two out of four years. And back in 2000, Justice was bringing more than *300* corporate criminal prosecutions. 9/
