    Everyone that does this should fear simply moving about every day. Fuck hell, the shit Dante described is nothing next to the shit capitalists are cooking up for all of us right now.

      I was seriously just about to make a comment if anyone read the article because like, what data would even be usable in this way? Like, Indeed has you input what your desired salary is, and maybe my credit card company sells my spending habits, what else would they use?

      The article references the typical data collection practices that companies have been using for about a decade now, just with AI tools instead of manually or other kinds of bot collection. So, your social media presence (whether you’ll be a unionization risk), spending habits via companies that you should already not be buying from if you can help it (like Amazon or Walmart), and any other kind of public information on income level and previous employment. The bigger thing is for gig workers (which most liberals on here don’t give a shit about) whose wages can be much more easily altered since their employers can control their hourly rates depending on how many jobs that are available or that any given worker has taken on as well as how many potential workers can take on these jobs. For most people, this is nothing new, but yeah the highly adaptable nature of AI tools means that groups of people whose jobs are literally facilitated through these systems are at high risk of exploitation (as per usual).

      The price might be slightly lower but will be optimized to be the bleeding edge of what you’re willing to spend.

      Or eye surgery. Or while waiting for a redlight under a bridge. Or when visiting cousin Margo at her apartment on flight 71 of the Eyefell tower in Randostopia.

    Same with Uber too. As a driver if you accept a lowball offer, it learns to continue sending you lowball offers and over time your offers get lower on average. Downward spiral

      As someone not super familiar with Uber, how does a lowball offer work? Can riders ask for low price rides in exchange waiting longer or something?

        Uber uses an algorithm to determine its prices.

        There was an article I read a couple years ago, but cannot find, where it talked about Uber essentially profiling different drivers. People who did Uber casually were more likely to get better pay, people who were clearly dependent on Uber to pay their bills got lower offers.

        They also fuck everyone with dynamic pricing.

        No, the app gives the driver a price for the ride. Driver has 20 (or 30?) seconds to accept or decline. So Uber sits in the middle, controls pricing in both directions

          It’s actually 10 seconds. And they seem to like to make them pop up when you’re taking turns with a rider already in the car. I think they think you’ll accept their shittiest offers just to stop the distracting pop-up from blocking your entire map. They’re insanely evil.

          Uber and Lyft both like to send the offer when you are busy making a turn or otherwise busy driving, so the driver has less time and attention to figure out if it is a bad deal.

          Very dangerous.

            Yes! I just posted the same. It’s so true. I hope that company burns. I’m fighting to get out right now, but they know how to trap you.

    It’s worse than that. Companies buy credit card data and their salary offer is inversely proportional to how much debt you have. More debt = more desperation = lower offer.

    On a completely unrelated note, did you know USA hasn’t passed a consumer privacy protection law since 1988? That law protected consumers from people gathering their information while renting VHS tapes.

      That’s why those pieces of shit made me do a credit check before I joined, huh? Oh I’m getting back on GlassDoor to update my review now. I thought it was scathing before. Just wait.

    Share as little as possible online. We knew this in the 90s and early aughts, but somehow over time we lost this healthy skepticism.

        You can apply for jobs without oversharing publicly. Never said don’t go on the Internet. I said don’t over share your personal information. There is a difference between applying for a job online and posting everything you have ever done under your real name with your face visible.

      Facebook really flipped the script on how to act online. They made it acceptable to just post all your personal information online despite all previous advice to do the opposite.

    Unionize. Organize.

    Did you know if you run over someone, even a VP responsible for making big decisions like to use AI at a company, you probably won’t even get a manslaughter charge? If they’re on a bike or crossing the street, it’s just a whoopsie.

    Sorry for the tangent.
