A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

Higher wages for underpaid workers.
Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
Better and fewer working hours.
Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

What if employers could gauge the ‘moods’ of workers? A dangerous new tech gains ground in India (scroll.in)

Emotion recognition systems are finding growing use, from monitoring customer responses to ads to scanning for ‘distressed’ women in danger.

Is mood recognition a tool useful for anything other than maintaining power over others (actually curious)?

If you ever want a real General AI then it will need the ability to recognize the mood of the person it's interacting with. ESPECIALLY if you want to use it for things like Mental Health Counseling.

Good thing. I DONT want a general AI

Mental Health Counseling.

Thanks, that's a valid answer like I was looking for. Though we don't have actual AI and probably won't have actual AGI for at least a good decade (we currently have machine learning and complex decision trees which appear kinda intelligent to us in 2023).
