👏👏👏 I took the 3C course. Should be required for CS educators.

Out of curiosity, when was the last time massive student protests turned out to be on the wrong side of history, and the state using police violence against them turned out to be right?

I am again actively looking for #postdoctoral fellows for my lab (details at https://t.co/QhTmO2jSoy). Please apply/RT/DM/email if interested/relevant. #ComputationalBiomedicine #DataScience #MachineLearning

It's interesting how often we say research, teaching, and service.

And..... often, it's only research that counts.

If you’re an Ivy League school that ends Black scholarships but upholds Legacy admissions then it isn’t students or education you’re protecting it’s Jim Crow white supremacy.

“If a white man wants to lynch me, that's his problem. If he's got the power to lynch me, that's my problem. Racism is not a question of attitude; it's a question of power.”

Whew! How about them DEIs from South Carolina!? 🤣🤣🤣

Did anyone ask Elon if this is happening because of DEI

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

Blaming DEI for a bridge collapsing is unhinged racism

The path to profitability for Uber and Lyft has always been about depressing wages for gig workers.

If a company can’t afford to pay their drivers a livable wage, maybe that company doesn’t deserve to exist.

Don't let them fool you: AGI today is no nearer to us than it was two years ago. While ChatGPT might appear to be a step closer to AGI, from a scientific standpoint, it's not: training a neural network to predict the next word is not groundbreaking science. Achieving AGI would necessitate multiple significant scientific breakthroughs. I'm talking about genuine breakthroughs, where real scientists engage in real science, not just enlarging the scale of the autocomplete.

💥 New paper 💥

We discover a form of covert racism in LLMs that is triggered by dialect features alone, with massive harms for affected groups.

For example, GPT-4 is more likely to suggest that defendants be sentenced to death when they speak African American English.

Both Tom Cotton and I went to undergrad and law school at Harvard at roughly the same time... so hopefully that helps you understand why I react with near homicidal rage when someone tells me *I'm* the one who didn't get in on merit.
I've been smarter than that kid my whole life.

[Victoria Brownworth @VABVOX]

OMG this is brilliant. This woman put her tech skills to use to troll VA Gov. Glenn Youngkin over a tipline he put up to report CRT. Her talk will give you life.

I don’t know who this man is but protect him at all costs!! He finally broke it down. So much she had no come back! See the God yall worshipping is yourself and your opinions!! I love how he use the word, the one she claims to know in his argument! Sadly they still won’t get it. Y’all think we judging you but it’s by the measure you are judging is what’s happening! And she claim to want to help the students but didn’t want to ask the parents for permission to do it. Where do these women get the audacity? You can’t control our kids!! Please everyone repost this!!

Salute to Namibia and South Africa.

Two African nations that suffered intensely under European genocide and brutal apartheid are the leading charges demanding that “Never Again” be applied to Palestinians.

Every time I get *yet another* rejection of my work analyzing existing models/datasets (because it "lacks novelty"), I worry that our obsession with novelty in ML will make us repeat the same mistakes, without ever understanding why.

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

We’re never going to fix this culture of white on white violence as long as uneducated teen moms from broken homes continue to disregard the rule of law
