@KarenKilgariff I would be shocked if this has never been suggested to you, but this story has everything: grave robbing, an opiate-imbibing doctor with rage issues, a 19th century angry mob: https://t.co/coemimFCtF

"Deciding the line between acceptable and unacceptable speech is time-consuming. It’s messy. It needs to involve input from civil society. It’s constantly shifting and culture-specific...Because of all that, AI has no role here." @random_walker

McInnes speaking at Penn State was never a free speech issue, it was a campus safety issue. Violence follows McInnes bc that's what his group rewards. University leaders gobbled up bad-faith "free speech" framing and refuse to take ownership for it. Cowards.

The more I work on "#AI," the more I believe in the importance of human decision-making.

A viral tweet is claiming to give bombshell news (🚨) that Pfizer is "admitting" they never tested whether the vaccine prevented transmission and therefore the concept of "get vaccinated for others" was a lie - this is wrong on basically every count. So, some facts.

My favorite thing about TSA is when they irritatedly tell you to put your laptop back in your bag as though taking it out hasn't been standard practice for like 20 years.

The Matrix described 1999 as the peak of human civilization and I laughed because that would obviously not age well but then the next 23 years happened and now I’m like yeah okay maybe the machines had a point

And YES, we need you to demand your Members of Congress support reform and vote for Members who do.

But we as leaders need to articulate a clear and bold reform agenda that meets the seriousness and danger of this moment. That is step #1.

Are you “burned out” or are you having a reasonable reaction to a never-ending barrage of bad news which you can do very little about.

"As with the intersecting enforcement of racial hierarchy, we are seeing the shoring up of patriarchal power through a most American vigilantism, both outside of and inscribed into law."

I'm terrified, but we can't stop fighting fascists.
