According to the EEOC’s suit, since at least 2015 to the present, Black employees at Tesla’s Fremont, California manufacturing facilities have routinely endured racial abuse, pervasive stereotyping, and hostility as well as epithets such as variations of the N-word, “monkey,” “boy,” and “black b*tch.” Slurs were used casually and openly in high-traffic areas and at worker hubs. Black employees regularly encountered graffiti, including variations of the N-word, swastikas, threats, and nooses, on desks and other equipment, in bathroom stalls, within elevators, and even on new vehicles rolling off the production line, the EEOC said.

It’s not surprising that ChatGPT has been accused of breaching the EU’s main privacy law – PIA blog noted that ChatGPT was a privacy disaster waiting to happen back in February. As the first complaint to be taken up by an EU data protection agency, this case will be watched closely by other EU Member States, and around the world. The Polish inquiry is likely to investigate many of the key GDPR issues that arise for AI programs and be used as a benchmark in future legal cases.

Heat Exchangers Market Analysis by Trends, Size, Share, Growth Opportunities, and Emerging Technologies

In 2021, the global heat transfer fluids market had a total size of USD 3,628.1 million, and it is predicted to hit USD 8,247.1 million by 2030, progressing at a rate of 9.6% from 2021 to 2030, according to a research report by a market research company P&S Intelligence.

Heat transmission solutions are liquids that are used as a standard or carrier to convey heat from one location to another. Thermal conductivity and high diffusivity, low viscosity and non-corrosive nature.

This growth can be credited to the extensive utilization of such fluids in chemical making and processing. Moreover, their anti-freezing chartersticks at tremendously low temperatures are quickening their utilization in a range of sectors, such as solar power, oil and gas, manufacturing, chemical, and biodiesel.

The big platforms like X, WhatsApp or Facebook are kowtowing to Indian government pressure to censor dissent while hateful content is promoted'

Any attempts by journalists and activists to counter the propaganda of prime minister Narendra Modi circulated by mostly corporate-controlled media are labeled “anti-national” and met with consequences. In Kashmir, where human rights abuses by security forces are widespread, journalists who post content on rights violations can face detention under draconian anti-terror laws. Those who debunk Hindu supremacist propaganda, like prominent Muslim journalist Mohammad Zubair, arrested in 2022 over a 2018 tweet, have received notices from X claiming that their fact-checking posts violate Indian law.

The chatbot's knowledge previously only included data up to September 2021, but not any more.

Leaked data suggest that Snatch is one of several ransomware groups using paid ads on Google.com to trick people into installing malware disguised as popular free software, such as Microsoft Teams, Adobe Reader, Mozilla Thunderbird, and Discord.

"This is a criminal group that shames others for not protecting user data,” a security researcher said. “And here they are leaking their user data.”

All of the malware mentioned in this story is designed to run on Microsoft Windows devices.

After introducing a feature in 2022 for users to report a post they considered misleading about politics, X in the past week removed the "politics" category from its drop-down menu in every jurisdiction but the European Union, said the researcher Reset.Tech Australia.

"It would be helpful to understand why X have seemingly gone backwards on their commitments to mitigating the kind of serious misinformation that has translated into real political instability in the US, especially on the eve of the 'bumper year' of elections globally," said Alice Dawkins, executive director of Reset.Tech Australia.
