This lawsuit is a minor headache for #Amazon. Allegedly a woman was fired for doing her job which was keeping Amazon’s #ArtificialIntelligence from using content illegally (probably copyrighted material).
Her boss reportedly did not like that “do-gooder attitude” & demoted her, before firing her during maternity leave. This case could open up lawsuits against Amazon’s #AI in the future.

When you think #greedflation, the image that comes to mind should be #Amazon.
"Amazon now makes up about 40% of all online retail — the company started raising prices on the products it sells directly."
"Nearly 50% of sellers' revenue goes to Amazon in fees," much of which is passed on as higher prices.
This is a prime example of Monopoly rent as Corey Doctorow, @pluralistic, discussed in a recent piece.

When +972Mag revealed that Israel was using an #AI called Lavender and trained on faulty data to decide who is or isn't a militant, and another one called Where's Daddy to track them until they were home to kill the whole family, many folks here rightfully wanted to know who was providing the servers and computer infrastructure for that.
Time Magazine now has at least part of the answer: #Google & #Amazon https://time.com/6966102/google-contract-israel-defense-ministry-gaza-war/
The Israeli Ministry of Defense, according to the document, has its own “landing zone” into Google Cloud—a secure entry point to Google-provided computing infrastructure, which would allow the ministry to store and process data, and access AI services.

Dear CEO of #Amazon,
Drone delivery is not exciting news. The only news that would be exciting is if you split two-day shipping out from the Prime subscription and sold it separately. Then I won’t have to pay for all the stuff I don’t want.

#Amazon Ditches 'Just Walk Out' Checkouts at Its Grocery Stores
Amazon Fresh is moving away from a feature of its grocery stores where customers could skip checkout altogether.
Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts. The cashiers were simply moved off-site, and they watched you as you shopped.

The retail giant has been ringing up a large tab hiring “persuaders” who try to convince workers not to form unions. It doled out more than $14 million on such consultants last year as well”: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/amazon-anti-union-spending-2023_n_6606cd7ce4b07b59d64d0a42
Amazon Spent $3.1 Million On Anti-Union Consultants In 2023
The company’s labor battles have been a bonanza for a handful of “persuaders” who undermine union organizing efforts.Dave Jamieson (HuffPost)
“The GMB estimates that paying 1,300 additional workers costs Amazon over £300,000 a week.”
Amazon would rather do this at one warehouse than have its workers form a union.
This is how much they fear unions. If this doesn’t convince you how important unions are, nothing will.

Also, how is this legal? Surely the law must be revised to disallow this sort of bad faith retaliation (good luck under the Tories or the Thatcher Fan Club).
Amazon Warehouse in Chaos Due to Union-Busting ‘Dirty Tricks’
Facilities at the Coventry site are overwhelmed as the company keeps hiring more non-union employees.Novara Media
Amazon is up to its old union-busting tricks in its vast BHX4 warehouse in Coventry, England. They are hiring huge numbers of extra staff in an attempt to dilute the GMB union membership below 50%. If union membership at BHX4 grows to more than 50 per cent, Amazon could be forced by the Central Arbitration Committeeto recognise the GMB.
These tactics are throwing the warehouse and working conditions into chaos.
