        @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

              @GossiTheDog in a country so litigious as the US how is it that employees have absolutely no protections whatsoever?

                @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.

                    @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

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

                                      ‘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

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

                                        @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

                                        @kneoghau @GossiTheDog sex discrimination, not harassment.

                                        You're absolutely right to point out that there's some imbalance between believing victims when they're men vs. women, but there is no allegation of sexual harassment here.

                                        Of course sex discrimination has a lot of the same dynamics, but given the mountains of sex discrimination against non-men for which nobody gets fired, I think it's very fair to claim foul play here.

                                        Also notable: The priors in "woman's complaint of sex discrimination is fabricated" and "man's complaint of sex discrimination is fabricated" look entirely different. Men do occasionally suffer sex discrimination but regularly benefit from sexism. Women face something like reciprocal odds of harms/benefits. Women sometimes make up accusations, but far more off their allegations are real than fake, yet few are acted upon, or actually see justice. Men also make up allegations, particularly against female bosses.

                                        To my mind, the Baysian truth here is that a disgruntled & sexist male worker had filed a complaint, which higher-ups were ignoring as spurious, until it became inconvenient to keep her on due to her reservations about the unsafe sex app plans.

                                        In 6 months the stories of domestic violence & suicide provoked by the ChatGPT adult app are going to come out, this woman knows that, her bosses know that, heck we all can see that from here in the bleachers...
