While we're arguing (again, *sigh*) w/techbros who think that any efforts to not flood the internet with automatically generated racist images are "paternalistic silliness that doesn’t trust people or society," I want to share this brilliant passage from @schock 's Design Justice

@Abebab Wowza, talk about disconnected with that comment! Thank you for calling this out.

[Netavox @netavox]

We're thrilled that one of our heroes, @herfirst100K, has given us a shoutout!

@netavox is the first and only Spanish-language focused Conversational AI product company, and I'm the Founder and CEO--a Latin-American woman with a background in Conversation Design. A.I. and data belong to the people."

THIS is how it's done.

[Netavox @netavox]

@herfirst100K Tori! Thank you so much for the shout-out on our CEO's Alana's elevator pitch. It's honor. You've always been an example of the kind of ally we seek. Your words have been part of the inspiration for our founding! The power DOES belong to the people. 💫

over a year ago, i commented on how big tech might take African language datasets, collected and curated by underfunded and overworked African researchers and i was dismissed as 'alarmist'

[Abeba Birhane @Abebab]

similarly, you find companies like Meta https://t.co/mXjPkYXYSO building language models (including for African languages) using datasets that are put together by communities such as masakhane. do they fund any of these disfranchised African researchers? NO!

@E_Scallon @recycledcycles A wonderful memory and a proud parent moment to see the self love she’s been modeled to feel. The days go slow but the years pass fast. Very precious. ❤️

@JoanBajorek @psb_dc @NoelleSilver_ @data_nerd @SpirosMargaris @andi_staub @FGraillot @ChrisGGarrod @techreview This is one of the tenets of our mission, this exact issue.

@ReamBraden Completely agree. Barge-in is so vital to good voice UX.

@Jorge_Madrigal Also, he took us to the greatest cochinita pibil tacos at this old school joint in Polanco. Don’t ask for anything else, because they have and will throw you out for not knowing they do that and only that: https://t.co/JDnOp39WQL
