一 | GUATEMALA CITY -- One of the leaders of the nationwide protests against efforts to undermine Guatemala’s elections that have paralyzed much of the country’s commerce for nearly two weeks is a young one-time law student who now heads up one of the country’s most important Indigenous organizations.While Guatemala President Alejandro Giammattei tries to draw President-elect Bernardo Arévalo into a dialogue aimed at ending the protests, Luis Pacheco says that it isn’t Arévalo’s call to make and that Giammattei could end them by meeting their demands.Guatemala has been roiled throughout much of this year’s election cycle and even a resounding victory by Arévalo in August did not calm it. The academic and former diplomat ran on a platform of battling corruption that observers say has unnerved Guatemala’s entrenched power structure.This month's protests have been the largest public display rejecting the administration's questioning of the election. Protesters have peacefully blocked key roadways at more than 100 points across the country. Giammattei this week made clear his intention to clear them by force if necessary.The protesters have made Attorney General Consuelo Porras the target of their ire. Since Arévalo was the surprise second-place finisher in an initial round of voting in June, her office has pursued investigations related to how Arévalo's Seed Movement party collected signatures required to register years earlier and multiple investigations related to the election itself.For Pacheco and the 48 Indigenous communities he represents northwest of Guatemala’s capital, the solution is simple: Porras, one of her prosecutors and a judge who suspended Arévalo’s party have to go.“We’re not asking for something that can’t be done, we are not asking for constitutional reforms, which would be more complicated,” Pacheco said late Tuesday. He stood a block from one of the roadblocks in Guatemala City, holding the wooden staff that signals his position and his customary wide-brimmed hat and shoulder bag. His manner of speaking was measured and calm.Pacheco said the galvanizing moment for the K’iche’ people he represents was a raid on electoral offices broadcast live in which federal agents opened and took away — despite resistance from some electoral officials — boxes containing precinct vote tally sheets. “The people already voted and you have to respect the decision taken,” he said.“We know that they don’t want to lose the power they have,” Pacheco said.The protests have been largely peaceful. Demonstrators allow ambulances to pass, as well as trucks carrying basic food stuffs and gasoline. “We don’t want to kill ourselves as people,” he said. “What we want to show is that we want to defend and take back democracy.”Pacheco cited Atanasio Tzul, an Indigenous leader who led an uprising in 1820 demanding rights, as an influence.Álvaro Pop, former chairman of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, said that what is happening now in Guatemala is the end of a cycle in which the government has tried to eliminate or transform the protest.In 2015, thousands of Guatemalans took to the streets, eventually forcing then-President Otto Pérez Molina to resign over corruption allegations. In 2020, Giammattei violently put down protests against his administration.Guatemalans are much more conscious than in previous years of the pervasive corruption in their government, Pop said, in large part because of the years of work by a U.N.-backed anticorruption mission.“The Indigenous peoples (call for the protests) because they are the ones with the moral standing to do so and that is why there is a response and support, but there is the risk that the protests are undermined by racism,” Pop said.Pacheco, mayor of the town of Juchanep, will only hold the rotating post of president of the 48 cantons for a year, but is aware that his role in the protests could lead to persecution.Recently, a far-right activist closely aligned with Porras filed a complaint against Pacheco alleging damage committed by protesters. Often this is a prelude to criminal charges.“We’re not here on behalf of a political party, we’re not defending Arévalo so he can assume the presidency, no one else decided this,” Pacheco said. “Not even if Arévalo told us to stop the protests, we’re not going to do it. The negotiation is between the Indigenous peoples and the government.”。 K图 MSFT_0 　　微软员工今年不仅在比较薪资，还开始比较自己用了多少AI。

二 | 　　根据泄露的一份微软内部的电子表格，数百名员工自愿匿名披露了自己的加薪、奖金和股票奖励，同时还记录了过去一个月使用AI工具的开销。　　目前，微软正向员工提供一款内部工具，用于追踪他们的AI使用情况和相关支出。

三 | 微软发言人表示，这款AI使用追踪工具目前仍处于早期测试阶段。　　当前，微软正加速追赶Meta、谷歌、OpenAI、Anthropic等竞争对手，大力开发AI产品，公司在AI基础设施上投入数千亿美元，并推动员工将AI融入日常工作。　　与往年相比，今年的电子表格新增了一栏，要求员工通过内部工具自行填写“每月AI使用金额”（AI $ Usage Per Month）。　　这份电子表格泄露时，表格上共有近600名微软美国员工的记录，内容包括员工自称今年获得的基本薪资、加薪、现金奖金和股票奖励等。当时，其中约350人已经填写了自己的AI使用金额。　　微软员工通常会自愿、匿名分享这些信息，以促进薪酬透明度，但这也意味着相关数据并非官方数据，也不完整。　　截至6月30日，微软共有22.3万名员工，因此，这份仅包含约350名员工的表格，只是一个非常有限的样本。　　在这些已报告的数据中，过去28天每位员工AI使用金额的中位数约为300美元（约合人民币2016元）。最高纪录来自微软“客户与合作伙伴解决方案部门”的一名员工，达到2.8万美元（约合人民币19万元）。

四 | 　　数据还显示，不同团队之间的AI使用量差异巨大：有些员工每月只花几美元，有些人的使用金额则达到数万美元。　　媒体分析发现，在这份电子表格中，员工报告的AI使用金额与其获得的奖励之间并不存在明显关联。　　简单来说，更高的AI使用量并未对应更高的奖金评级、更大幅度的绩效加薪，也没有显示出更高的晋升概率。　　需要指出的是，微软并非唯一一家试图了解员工如何使用AI的科技巨头。
