Letter of intent, between #Sweden and #Germany. #Hungary has signed the #ratification protocol to #Nato for Sweden.

RT by @alexstubb: Just finished a phone call with @NATO Secretary General @jensstoltenberg. I reaffirmed that the Hungarian government supports the NATO-membership of #Sweden. I also stressed that we will continue to urge the Hungarian National Assembly to vote in favor of Sweden’s accession and conclude the #ratification at the first possible opportunity.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to object and bargain if someone wanted to replace you at work with a machine, instead of being sorely out of luck (S.O.L.)?

The tentative agreement aims to make that dream a reality, if it ratifies: https://bit.ly/DominionOverTheMachines

Watching the second Contract Roundtable talk about the tentative agreement, and happy to be seeing what David Blue & Jen Levin put together.

Thankful for them and Ben Whitehair,

I just finished writing this article. I think many are underestimating just how impactful this SAG-AFTRA tentative agreement can be: https://bit.ly/DominionOverTheMachines

I made this image for an article I’m writing called “Dominion Over the Machines” about how the SAG-AFTRA AI precedents (if ratified) may move things forward not just for actors, but for every human that may face non-humans doing their work.

Interesting times we’re in.

So Alex Winter wrote a nice article about the SAG-AFTRA tentative agreement:

Page 69 (nice) of SAG-AFTRA MOA is 1st time in history a union contract says workers are human & union shall negotiate if a non-human substitute is used.

People performing are human, & union gets to cover humans _and_ non-human substitutes.

We get to be people!
