Libgen shutting down is genuinely a disaster for poorer researchers

@gemilang71 "Foreign workers have better skill and we should attract them by offering higher wages" always shows ignorance and disregard of our labour market & incentives structures.

Many oligarchs are convinced that eternal life is a class birthright. It doesn’t matter that the elixir of life everlasting is likely a fantasy — it’s the quest itself that results in social and legal architecture that gives the rich unacceptable power.

#DEI for #AIEthics
#AIEthics seeks alignment of #AI tech with human values. But what if these "human values" are already ethnocentric and hegemonic? Who (or what) has the power to decide what "our" shared values are? https://t.co/qkmHKh2Bc7

"To comply with the OSI’s definition of open-source AI, model developers need to be more transparent. Along with their models’ weights, they should also disclose the training algorithms and other software used to develop them"

I’m a savvy, modern researcher. I have dozens of windows and hundreds of tabs open at all times, each containing articles I’ll never read. I yearn for Chrome to crash and deliver me from a nightmare of my own creation.

Palestinian journalists like @HossamShabat are covering their own extermination while their colleagues in the West largely ignore what’s happening in northern Gaza.

The price tag for enacting the most basic measures needed to mitigate climate change might seem steep — until you realize just how devastatingly expensive the natural disasters exacerbated by climate change are and will be very soon. https://t.co/By1YD0ifoT

“Using algorithms in the context of social policy comes with way more risks than it comes with benefits,” @soizicpenicaud says. “I haven't seen any example in Europe or in the world in which these systems have been used with positive results.” https://t.co/ppVIhUx5Yp

Our society is facing a growing crisis of loneliness. The problem isn’t social media, popular culture, or city living — it’s capitalism.

As Save The Children point out, the Israeli does not only incarcerate children.

It subjects them to sexual violence.

Thousands of Palestinians, ranging from kids to an 82-year-old woman with Alzheimers, are incarcerated by Israel.

Their only crime: being Palestinian.

"There is an algorithmic quality to our grievances with algorithmic life,” @bentarnoff writes, by way of introducing a new book that "defies this pattern": "The Right to Oblivion: Privacy and the Good Life" by @LowryPressly, now at the top of our TBR pile. https://t.co/5aEuBQcPYh

Note the difference. We Jews cheer and sing, “Am Yisrael Chai!” (“The people of Israel live!”)

…In sharp contrast with the mobs all around the world and Gaza calling for the destruction of Israel and extermination of the Jewish people.

And in sharp contrast with the calls to end the Jews, Israel treats and cures thousands of Palestinian children in its hospitals every year, along with Palestinian adults, and picks up the tab. And usually for very expensive life-saving treatment. Cancer treatment, heart surgeries.

We Jews value life. All lives. 20% of Israel’s citizens are Arab Muslims who live in peace and productivity in Israel. They are doctors and lawyers and represent their communities in the Knesset. One makes legal determination for all of Israel from his seat on the Israeli Supreme Court.

This is what’s possible if you aren’t trying to exterminate the Jewish people.
