I plotted daily air quality index values in NYC since 1980 and yesterday's values for reference
The solid red line is the yesterday's daily EPA value (254). The dashed red line is the yesterday's max *hourly* value from iqair (whose daily value was 209)

The first reason is to focus the public’s attention on a far fetched scenario that doesn’t require much change to their business models. Addressing the immediate impacts of AI on labor, privacy, or the environment is costly. Protecting against AI somehow “waking up” is not.
The second is to try to convince everyone that AI is very, very powerful. So powerful that it could threaten humanity! They want you to think we’ve split the atom again, when in fact they’re using human training data to guess words or pixels or sounds.
Bravo @rcalo for speaking truth to power/wealth/lies Our noble work is to repair the immediate harms and stop the blue sky futurists who have taken over media attention

Have a look at the prescient lecture on "algorithmic accountability" @benbendc gave for @harvard_data and @RadInstitute back in 2018--he saw the future and had (has!) good suggestions! We *can* use AI safely. Up to us, though. 2/2 https://t.co/tcdGCAMsx0
This'll be a first for me (interviewing a member of Congress!) but I'm really looking forward to it! Please join and contribute in the Q/A to get your questions answered :).
This is amazing news for UMD and I'm thrilled to see @haldaume3 leading this initiative and my colleague Katie Shilton leading the participatory AI line of work. Congrats all!
📢 I'm thrilled to announce our new @NSF Institute on Trustworthy AI in Law & Society!
@trails_ai's premise is: Participation Builds (Appropriate) Trust.

The three „great dames“ of HCI launched the 6th(!) edition of their Interaction Design Book today with a bang - at the riverfront of the Elbe in Hamburg @acm_chi#CHI2023! So many of you came - that we ran out of books in no time!
The sooner we understand that there is no such thing as artificial intelligence, the sooner we’ll start managing our new technology intelligently, the computer scientist Jaron Lanier writes. https://t.co/qL8vFRE6T8
The @hcil_umd at @UofMaryland is gearing up for a big week at #chi2023 in Hamburg with 18 papers and several best paper and honorable mention awards. See you all in Germany next week! https://t.co/gCd2I3KsXN
@NElmqvist@csaudk Congratulations Niklas... very sorry to see you go, but very happy that you will be close to family. You will remain a respected researcher, dear colleague, and good friend.
