Everyone is just one accident or illness away from needing the accommodations they might refuse someone else.
It doesn’t matter how much you work out, how many vitamins you take, how much sun you get, what kind of food you eat, YOU CAN BECOME DISABLED. Immunity to disability doesn’t exist. It’s the only minority group you can join at any point in time.
"Human workers at companies like @AppenGlobal often handle the more distasteful parts of training AI and are the lower-paid, often ignored backbone of the entire industry." How is @Google going to become a leader in AI without the workers who train AI? theverge.com/2024/1/23/2404…

Google cancels contract with an AI data firm that’s helped train Bard
An army of human contractors is behind every AI tool.
Also, I’d love to see this type of transparency in the AI space. Like… Cost of training/dev infra, whence your data + what $/process to obtain/curate it, who does data labeling + curation + RLHF, how many workers at what $…cost of inference at X load for Y use case on Z infra,

Opinion: Accessibility at Twitter Is in Jeopardy
The Accessibility Experience Team, and many others who worked closely on accessibility features for Twitter, were let go as part of mass layoffs.
Interpreters, take note-
tl;dr version of this presentation is - every act of heroism mask the structural and systemic deficiency. By saving something in the short run you are heading into bigger trouble later on. Advice was: let if fail. If nothing else, at least it will lead to a better system.
RID is leaving Twitter due to Elon Musk eliminating the Accessibility team. One of RID’s values is accessible & effective communication access in all spaces where diverse, intersectional Deaf lives are impacted. Access for all. Now.
Has ANY company making scheduling/invoicing software for interpreters actually spoken with any actual interpreters about the UX? Do they even know what UX is? @boostlingo @Gridcheck 😭

This is one of the many reasons I wish the @girlscouts wasn’t have its convention in Florida next summer.
