So excited to read this book! Very timely for my dissertation project.

New: TikTok has started pitching advertisers on an in-development generative AI tool that would create AI avatars to star in their ads—potentially competing with creators for brand deals in the process.

Fact: Building the world you want isn't easy... even in the metaverse.

Props to all the VR world builders, designers, and creators. It takes skill, patience, commitment, passion, creativity, and vision!

Cuz this stuff is HARD!

Here's where I'm at in the building process 🙈.

Do you or your organization work at the intersections of race and technology? If so, take our 10-20 minute social network survey here: https://t.co/1ORdHHvJdc

[Elizabeth M. Renieris @hackylawyER]

Big tech is touting the "future of work" & "reinventing productivity" with #AI.

But history shows that efficiency gains a result of new tech rarely liberate those already overburdened in society.

My latest on the #AI productivity lie for @CIGIonline.

What values are invoked in social media platform policies? In my first PhD article, written with @blakeplease and @limor_shifman, we compared the Privacy Policies, Terms of Service, and Community Guidelines of Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok.

See how Professor Parvin shows us how technology can create and worsen injustices, and what we can do to combat it.

[W. Kamau Bell @wkamaubell]

This is my favorite opening of any episode of #UnitedShades. It aired in 2019. & it feels even MORE relevant (& maybe even more shocking) after the #TyreNichols video.👇🏿

[Ibram X. Kendi @ibramxk]

What happened to Tyre Nichols is an allegory of what racism unleashes onto Black people in the US. Constant commands. That are impossible or contradictory. And when Black people can’t be subhuman or superhuman, when we just want to find home, we face escalating force.
