All the EEOC would need to do is to prove that there is disparate impact[1] based solely on the hiring outcomes of companies using AI to hire. This is what they already do.
I haven't watched it in a few months, but salmon farming happens in net-enclosed partitions of natural bodies of water that are polluted with industrial waste. Pesticides are sprayed directly into the farms in order to combat disease. The pollution from the farms themselves makes the situation even worse as time goes on.
Here's a resource[1] for anyone who is curious but doesn't want to sit through a YouTube video.
> Why is it that everybody is so interested in “lifestyle” changes, and so uninterested in things like OP or Project Vesta [1]?
Project Vesta hasn't proved efficacy or ability to scale. It's reminiscent of the "solar roadways" hype from earlier this decade.
Most greenhouse gas emissions come from industry and transportation of goods.
It's less politically expedient to blame entrenched powers for their hand in climate change than it is to blame Joe Nobody for driving instead of walking to work.
> Seems to me that every time this subject comes up, an arbitrary list of things are considered protected by whoever is making that point.
It might feel that way to you, but it seems you haven't bothered to look into the history of why certain classes are protected against discrimination in housing, employment, medical treatment etc.
One of those reasons is to fight the tendency for discrimination to create second-class citizens[1]. Along with our society's past and its contemporary history, we also have a several millennia of written history to look back upon to see just how easily and willing we are to make life very bad for people who are discriminated against.
I have: they don't like the current arrangement. When they're tipped via apps, they don't even get to keep them.
Doesn't sound like they're independent contractors when they can't set their own rates and collect from their clients without the delivery app companies skimming their tips.
> they don’t want to be employees, because this very frequently is not a full time job.
This is a false dichotomy. Many people work multiple jobs on a flexible schedule where they are considered employees at each of their employers.
They also hate the tax burden that is quarterly filing and paying the self-employment tax.
Neither are never-expiring copyright laws, and there's no reason someone in a country that doesn't abide by them should have to honor them.
