So Chicago Public Schools has a guide for teachers urging them to use AI, apparently drafted with some help from AI for Education. Is there magic thinking a-plenty in it? Reader, don't you already know? Let's count the ways...

972 days ago, Proctorio sued me for sharing links to 7 unlisted YouTube videos. Due to my tweets, they theorize, students learned how their AI surveillance software works. Students have a right to know. It's in the public interest. Our future depends on us knowing how AIs work.

New @tasteofsciCHI event!

[Casey Newton @CaseyNewton]

According to messages shared in Twitter Slack, Twitter’s CISO, chief privacy office, and chief compliance officer all resigned last night.

An employee says it will be up to engineers to “self-certify compliance with FTC requirements and other laws.”

Bumping this! Dr. Duncan is awesome!!

[Dr. Brittany Duncan @brittanyaduncan]

If you have a background in robotics and a passion for deploying systems in real world environments, consider applying to attend graduate school @UNLComputing @nimbus_lab to work with us. We have currently funded projects with trips scheduled to Alaska and Costa Rica next summer

So, Twitter.

In 2006 LiveJournal was acquired by someone new then deleted a bunch of content & made policy changes that made lots of users feel unwelcome. Then a mass exodus & within a few years was basically a dead platform for some communities. 👀 https://t.co/TZGrBjh7cl

I'm looking for PhD students this year! If you might be interested in working with me, please apply for the PhD in Information at @umsi and list my name as a potential advisor. (There are many other great faculty here to check out too!)

An incredible amount of AI hype — across government, AVs, education, medicine, etc. — is based on misleading comparisons between humans and algorithms that overstate the promises and understate the risks of automation.

@__jesse_li @GreyNoiseIO @Andrew___Morris That's just awful! Come join us in academia. I have a feeling you'd enjoy https://t.co/YvIsDolQHA

Bumping this thread!

I'm part of the effort of spinning up a support program at @UChicagoCS. Link here to apply: https://t.co/P0fwFEJRyN

[Andrew Kuznetsov @andrewkuznet]

Applying to a CS PhD? You should be aware of graduate application support programs!!

These programs give applicants informal feedback (on statements, etc) from current PhD students before formally applying. Fairly new, but amazing stuff.

I'm tracking them below:
