Congratulations to the more than 200 Amazon drivers at the DBK1 facility in Queens for joining the Teamsters. When working people come together and organize, they can take on even the most powerful corporations. I stand with them.

BlueSky, a real estate company, consistently forced tenants to live in dangerous and unsanitary conditions, putting the safety of families at risk. We secured over $672,000 from BlueSky to put money back into New Yorkers’ pockets and require safer and cleaner buildings.

ICE is kidnapping and locking up little kids, denying them medical care, and feeding them contaminated food. They aren’t going after criminals, they are going after Black and brown people, because this isn’t about immigration, it’s about white supremacy. https://t.co/jnOiJmudiU

One year has passed since correction officers brutally murdered Robert Brooks at Marcy Prison. Nothing we do can bring Mr. Brooks back, but we can finally begin to change the system that enabled his barbaric killing. https://t.co/xiomfTzpqF

Key point from @ShaoulSussman on how allowing existing tech giants to control the trajectory of AI is rife with conflicts and could result in less efficient, more resource-intensive versions of these technologies.

Ever notice the price of a flight suddenly jump right after you search it twice? Or how your grocery app “mysteriously” charges you more than your neighbor for the same produce? That’s not just bad luck. It’s surveillance pricing. Today, I introduced a bill to make it

They really said: Let’s pay poverty wages AND scam customers with AI. @Instacart, please be for real.
EXCLUSIVE: We uncovered a secret corporate scheme to raise grocery prices. We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items. The scary part? It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too. Our months-long

Companies like Instacart are using AI and your personal data to "optimize" prices for groceries—and keeping it a secret. They’re charging hard-working Americans higher prices for essentials so they can pad their profits. It’s just plain wrong.

Matt thinks it’s normal good for big business to charge rushed parent of sick child (whose data about said sickness is used to identify weakness) more than their neighbor for the same loaf of bread.
I'm pretty sure it was always the case that prices are more based on consumer willingness to pay than on the cost of inputs.
