@GossiTheDog you can’t make this shit up

@GossiTheDog WTF?

[nicelymanifest@mastodon.social]

@GossiTheDog Beggars belief. I hope she sues for entirely illegitimate grounds for dismissal.

@GossiTheDog

‘sexual discrimination against men’ should read 'proper rejection of sex pests'

but ChatGPT sees monetizing sexually transgressive role playing as a lucrative market, and this executive stood in the way

they will make AI agent "women" who will act in ways that will prime MAGA chuds to amplify their harassment of women in real life. by creating not delusional expectations, but malignant expectations of how women respond to sexually abusive behavior

enshittification is a threat

@peterbrown @GossiTheDog The theory is that the litigation is the protection.

The practice, not so much. This is why 'tort reform' is so popular in plutocratic circles.

@GossiTheDog It has to be really bad if you need to get rid of someone who did 4 years at facebook and 7 at palantir over their objections to your plan.

[driusan@doomscroller.social]

@muenchnerin@sueden.social @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social 4 years at Facebook, 7 years at Palantir, and still too much of a moral compass for OpenAI

@GossiTheDog An executive was fired for sexual harassment? Is there any info on what sexual harassment she allegedly committed, and what happened to believing victims of sexual harassment?

The articles say she wasn't the only person to raise concerns about dating chat bots, was anyone else fired?

Something about this stinks, beyond the "AI bad" and "woman can't commit sexual offences" slathered all over this comment section

@benroyce @GossiTheDog

Exactly.

There was a great piece on this in The Conversation (I’m sure there must be others too) - https://theconversation.com/most-ai-assistants-are-feminine-and-its-fuelling-dangerous-stereotypes-and-abuse-272335?utm_medium=article_clipboard_share&utm_source=theconversation.com

@GossiTheDog Barring access to female exploitation is "discrimination"... ffffffs.

[megmuttonhead@mas.to]

@GossiTheDog holy shit. Of course she has.

[aapis@mastodon.world]

@GossiTheDog well it's about time someone started discriminating against men

[ox1de@cyberplace.social]

@GossiTheDog we have entered the bizzaro world

[tygerkrash@mastodon.ie]

@kneoghau @GossiTheDog It does *not* say sexual harrassment it alleged sexual discrimination ( which would be discrimination on the basis of sexuality or possibly gender).

[rowinspeez@mas.to]

@GossiTheDog this actual workplace discrimination brought to you by the men who think licking a vulva is gay.

@GossiTheDog #patriarchy

@benroyce @GossiTheDog Prediction: 90 days until those sexualized chatbots get racialized, too, with submissive language patterns that would make GwtW cringe
