I made this meme of my dog to encourage myself whenever I begin to feel like I bit off more than I can chew. It should be noted she eventually broke it in half. #persistence

Yes, ChatGPT is amazing and impressive. No, @OpenAI has not come close to addressing the problem of bias. Filters appear to be bypassed with simple tricks, and superficially masked.

And what is lurking inside is egregious.

@Abebab @sama
tw racism, sexism.

Challenging AI art by giving it abstract prompts. "Access to Justice for the historically excluded" DALL·E
made me law firm stock photos. Stable Diffusion gave me a political cartoon (?) and article spreads. 🤔

If this isn't in your radar, it should be. Tagging @GeorgeTakei in hopes to get it in his radar, too.

Gonna start a conference called #NormIPS that’s just presentations of middlebrow ML topics. “how to structure Python packages 2022”, “how many k-folds is too many”, “how to make the browser pop-up come up when the notebook is done running”, “putting features in Postgres”, etc.

A wild, appalling story: A group of hackers fabricated evidence on the PCs of Indian human rights activists who were then arrested for terrorism and jailed. Now researchers have found a direct link between those hackers and the police making the arrests. https://t.co/y6HrCn580v

I once had a corp speaking oppy. The organizer asked my fee & I told her. She paused. Your fee should be at least $10k. Another speaker is getting $$$. Now what’s your fee? I raised my fee. That is how we help other women level up. Don’t contribute to exploitation culture.

Statement of Purpose 1st Draft: Sells the potential research but not me as the person researching it.
Current draft: "We need to burn it all down, and I am walking flame."

@theFordon I got diagnosed as an adult, too (like 3 years ago now). Really does change SO much. Funny enough, I apparently am a small contingent that have all the normally male presentations of ADHD and was STILL not diagnosed until later, much to the shock of my then therapist.
