Currently attending this AMAZING event. Thank you Women in AI Ethics™ for putting together this phenomenal lineup of speakers.

Today's my last day at Google. Starting tomorrow I'm joining @timnitGebru (@dair-community.social/bsky.social) at Distributed AI Research Institute is on Mastodon as Director of Research. On my way out, here's some thoughts on the tech company as a racialized organization and the power of complaint. alex-hanna.medium.com/43fd8045991d

"It's just what we would've hoped for from the band that says everybody matters." Everybody mattered to 'the only band that matters.' Thank you for sharing your stories and tuning in to celebrate The Clash's beliefs in community and inclusivity.

Happy International Clash Day, y'all!!! Listen and get healed <3 kexp.org/internationalc…

Overturning Roe and outlawing abortions will never make them go away. It only makes them more dangerous, especially for the poor + marginalized. People will die because of this decision. And we will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.

The Supreme Court has stripped women of their liberty and let red states replace it with mandated birth. This is an attack on American freedom. CA, OR and WA are creating the West Coast offensive. A road map for other states to stand up for women. Time to fight like hell.

Overturning Roe v. Wade and denying women the right to control their own bodies is an outrage and in defiance of what the American people want. Democrats must now end the filibuster in the Senate, codify Roe v. Wade, and once again make abortion legal and safe.

Time for my now traditional reminder that KEXP programming is an absolute lifeline to solidarity and sanity in these moments of ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT that have come to characterize our times. If you need connection rn, tune in to their live stream...

We should hear from Senators Murkowski, Collins, and Manchin if they believe there should be any consequences at all for misleading members of the US Senate in order to secure a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land. Otherwise Roe’s undoing is their legacy too.

Yeah, and?

This Friday! Incredible line-up of scholars addressing threats & opportunities created by social media for public discourse & collective reasoning. At 2:30pm EST: The Computational Democracy Project's Board Pres Colin Megill presents "Scaling Deliberation: Polis and the Computational Democracy Project"

Twitter @Birdwatch builds on Polis algorithms, methods and concepts. We're extremely excited to see @Birdwatch take off, and the early results look very promising. The @Birdwatch paper has dropped! Direct link: github.com/twitter/birdwa… x.com/metaviv/status…

For some time there have been efforts to create forms of online participation that focus on understanding and generating consensus, rather than maximizing engagement. Pol.is is a key example in the thin but growing set of such digital participation technologies.

We're working on it! Check out compdemocracy.org/Case-studies, and stay tuned for new memos from the last 18 months dropping soon

I asked Jake Tapper 🦅 to ask Hinton about his lack of support for @timnitGebru (@dair-community.social/bsky.social), MMitchell Meredith Whittaker and other whistleblowers. His response is that their concerns were less existential than his and that it’s easier to voice concerns if you leave first cnn.com/videos/tv/2023…
