Ditto!

It is such a privilege to work with Dr. Fombonne, and a pleasure to see such a well-written profile of his career!

I really loved this paper by PERVADE: Pervasive Data Ethics! Their four-quadrants model for thinking about research on public-ish data is spot-on, as was their link with ethnographic research practices. And the lit review was spectacular- the bibliography is basically a "greatest hits album"!

jesus fucking christ it is actually trained on data from AITA.

Here is a 🧵 of terms related to money/funding in academia that no one explained to me until I was applying for faculty jobs (or after I'd started), that I pretended to understand until then, and that would’ve been very helpful to learn earlier than I did. 1/a whole bunch

I find this reporting infuriating, so I'm going to use it to create a mini-lesson in detecting #AIhype. If you're interested in following this lesson, please read the article, making note of what you think sounds exciting and what makes you skeptical. nytimes.com/2022/04/05/tec…

This is fabulous! I especially liked their 4th point ("Attribute agency to the human actors building and using the technology, never to the technology itself"). I've made a point lately of using words like "automation" when talking about applications of AI/ML for the same reason.

Bergstrom's quote in this article was absolutely priceless, and really brightened my day (not what I was expecting in a monkeypox article). The rise of the "an epidemiologist speaking their truth" genre has been one of the few bright points of the last couple of years.

It's wild to me that *this* isn't the main discussion point for AI Ethics Twitter right now. What a week. 😩
