sometimes the good guys do win

At my first conference, Affective Computing & Intelligent Interaction, I met a guy who worked at "a company that does emotion recognition for law enforcement" and I was like "so you're evil?" and he said "depends on your perspective" and now that company is banned in the EU 🥲

this is very important. i've repeatedly said that nothing about LLMs is scientific. at the core of science is healthy skepticism, replicability, reproducibility, etc. none of which is to be found in current LLMs

@99piorg or @NPRinvisibilia please do an episode on this because I can’t imagine what this could possibly have been like but what a WILD RIDE. https://t.co/LYf3NFmkVl

Parallels to current influx of data science/AI? Or other IRL communities??? Please this is so neat!!

@J_Borgstedt This is what I needed in my life 🤩

Just found out for my Spanish course I need to close all browser windows and tabs whenever I take a quiz (every 2 weeks) and I am NOT above dropping all pursuit of further education over this INJUSTICE.

I'm just a girl, standing in front of a chatbot, asking it to write her a cover letter for your open position as an AI/ML Engineer

“Could they change the rules to get 8-10 points per game?”
“You know baseball has had the perfect sized field since 1850”
“They’re pronouncing [RAP-in-HOE] wrong” (they are not)
“No one is pretending to be hurt. Maybe women are just not weenies.”

My dad, on the World Cup:
“This game is stupid, you can’t even use your hands!”
“Vietnam?! It’s too hot to play soccer there.”
“What happened to her hair? oh she’s the famous old-timer.”
“The Netherlands? That is formidable. The Dutch are the tallest people in the world.”

Sup, nerds!

I wrote an essay on AI Ethics for a @kaggle competition, #AIReport2023. If you like AI Ethics, me, heckling internet strangers, or any combination thereof, I'm inviting criticism until the contest closes on July 16!

There’s no stopping the force of nature that is @kohinoordarda - everything about ARISA Foundation resonates w/ what I envision when I think of utopia as a scientific researcher with deep roots in the arts. Beyond grateful for the chance to work with her as ARISA takes flight! 💫

@npparikh Ethics is a philosophically intuitive persuit. Can and should it be codified? Yes, of course. But we need more than just Tech Bros at the table.

AI dev has a huge variety of stakeholders that must be heard to have a thorough picture of how to enshirne ethics into AI Policy.

@npparikh "They're just not qualified"

So, is a person to whom an algorithm denies a mortgage because of their zip code Not Qualified to say that's injust?
