RMIT’s latest bargaining update says strike action “actually slows down bargaining”. Well, here are *actual* ways RMIT has slowed down bargaining 🧵🪡 And don’t forget to sign our motion of no confidence in VC Alec Cameron megaphone.org.au/petitions/vote…
Us too.
"[Meta] used almost every book, poem and essay written in English available on the internet to train models... Employees said they had used these text sources without permission and talked about using more, even if that would result in lawsuits." theguardian.com/books/2024/apr…
