Donald Trump is everything we were ever taught was wrong.
This feels like more than an election.
It’s a referendum on whether being good or decent even matters any more.
You just have to laugh at people who think that AI can eliminate the associated risk and cost of creative endeavour because, on some level, you must risk productivity to do decent creative work. If only to step back and check what you've done.
These same people will now lose their own time prompting and checking every iteration. Employing the robot monkeys with typewriters means they'll have to look at a billion scripts that are not and never will be Shakespeare.
It's the opposite of artificial intelligence, it's real stupidity.
The University of Washington CS school is an unsafe environment for women, so as grad application season starts, please tell your students not to apply. There are at least 3 men in the systems lab that have sexually harassed numerous women and they continue to do so.
This comment from Gavin Newsom on vetoing SB 1047, the AI "safety" bill, is absolutely spot on.
I hope a diverse group of folks will now work together to help create less risky and more effective regulations.
@mmitchell_ai@huggingface Dr. Mitchell, your testimony was strong and so important! Thank you for agreeing to testify and for the info that is now on the record.
“We need the collective action, we need the individual action, and we need the legislative action as well. Your choices do make a difference!” @jovialjoy at @Forbes Power Women's Summit regarding the many ways we can make changes and say no to pervasive facial recognition technology.

AJL’s Program Manager @randi_c1, was featured in a @guardian article about emotional AI technology and the ample risk for harm that comes along with it.
Research has shown that biases emerge in emotional AI programming, where negative emotions are disproportionately attributed to Black people. According to Dr. Williams, “We must bring [AI bias] to the forefront of the conversation and design of new technologies.”

I keep seeing people say Gus struggles to control his emotions due to neurodivergence and I really want to emphasize that his sincere love for and pride in his father are emotions that don't need to be "controlled."
Im curious, @iHeartRadio/@newstalk1130, how would your advertisers feel about one of your radio hosts referring to a DISABLED CHILD as a “blubbering bitch boy”?
Do you think they’ll still buy ads from you once we start showing them the kind of monsters you employ & protect?
A significant amount of safety research has existed since the 70s on Human Machine Interfaces proving exactly this. It's exhausting to watch money and effort wasted in a tech hype cycle to constantly undo and redo what we already know in safety engineering.
