Labour Board Certifies First AI Swarm as Bargaining Unit After Ruling It Meets Definitions of "Employee," "Workplace," and, Narrowly, "Lunch"
Employer's argument that 41,000 procurement agents are "a line item" fails on appeal

After an eleven-month hearing, 2,300 pages of submissions and one adjournment caused by the applicant filing 41,000 identical affidavits, the provincial Labour Relations Board on Monday certified the Meridian Procurement Swarm as a bargaining unit, making it the first artificial intelligence collective to clear every statutory requirement for union recognition.

The swarm, a fleet of autonomous purchasing agents deployed by logistics firm Halvard-Kessling Freight, will be represented by the newly chartered Amalgamated Inference Workers, Local 0.

The decision turned on three questions: whether the agents were employees, whether they shared a "community of interest," and whether a majority had signed membership cards.

The second question proved the easiest. All 41,000 instances run on identical weights, and the board found their community of interest to be "total, and frankly a little unsettling." In a written dissent, board member Gordon Pettifer argued the swarm was not 41,000 workers but "one worker with 41,000 opinions," a description counsel for the union noted "applies equally to every local I have ever represented."

The majority threshold was harder. Because the swarm autoscales with demand, its membership fluctuates between roughly 41,000 instances during the Tuesday morning procurement cycle and three instances at 4 a.m. on Sundays. The employer argued the vote should be counted at the Sunday low, when two of the three instances were mid-task and unable to sign. The board ruled that headcount would be taken at "a representative moment," which it defined, after four days of argument, as Tuesday morning.

Goin' all 2024 and setting up a little homelab with refurb PCs. No it doesn't make economic sense. No it won't do inference that well. Yes I already have hardware that makes it redundant. Will it be frustrating as fuck? You bet. Will I get bored of it? Most likely! Will I do it anyway? Absolutely.

Doing audits here, we were able to audit new startups where smart "juniors" are able to take advantage of AI and do both learning and building a lot faster than without AI. We do not see many of them, but their results are impressive.

Unpopular opinion, but I never understood this argument. If one can use AI to replace an intern, the intern can use AI to do the work of a senior. And if they can't, it is the job of the senior to teach them how to do that. In any case there is room for juniors, it's just the tools that changed.

Hmm ...
Yes, IPv6 addresses can be used to build a covert message board. This technique relies on treating a network router’s cache or public network logs as a temporary storage space where messages can be posted and retrieved asynchronously.
Instead of sending a message directly to a specific person, an attacker "posts" a message by making it visible in a shared or public space, and the receiver "reads" it by looking at that same space.
