Honestly if you work for a large employer, I'd assume that

  • they were always monitoring internal chats, just with more primitive keyword-based filters
  • they have now upgraded to llm-based filters

And that the thing they are most concerned with is labor organization.

I should repeatedly talk about putting unions into SQL queries.

Absolutely!

Yes, and it’s still not okay.

no, but lots of things about the employee-employer relationship are fucked up, but refusing to act around that information on principle is likely to affect your career somewhat

we all must toil under society—like it or not, even if the system is bad—while the current system remains in place

Suite yourself but I'm fine with the "system"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I dunno. If I were forced to toil in current typical toxic conditions, I might be inclined to leave a gross mess in a corporate HQ somewhere.

But then I'm literally crazy and am paid to specifically not do that.

Wells Fargo uses Theta Lake, even going far enough to add it to their startup accelerator program.

Its not possible on many platforms. I work in security, so I make a point that orgs that I work for dont have the ability to monitor communication platforms.

Its an easy argument to make, because companies want encrypted messages. It protects their so-called IP and their customer's data

We need a labor organization haiku generator the way we have an NSA haiku generator.
