@Grady_Booch “coherency without understanding, confidence without truth, assistance without empathy” is great, well expressed.

@xavier_urban @StatisticUrban Roads? Is that what these are?

Also I instantly recognized your avi, excellent choice.

This is so genuinely offensive, recreating a famous photo of workers with the enemies of workers

It's fitting that the cover on AI mindlessly apes an earlier creation and also displaces workers while elevating Silicon Valley plutocrats.

Current metaphors for thinking about AI will completely miss its most important consequences, just like thinking about cars as horseless carriages and other analogies to "things we know" completely missed the mark of how steam engines actually transformed society.

- from @zeynep 's keynote at #NeurIPS

More profound than the simplified scares of "it will kill us all" and "it will cause us all to lose our jobs", it will fundamentally change just the way we understand authenticity, accuracy, effort, sincerity and the nature of humanity.

For me, the talk’s most profound insight is that AI’s impact will be heavily shaped by the infrastructure that we have in place.

In the absense of that infrastructure actively being conceived and constructed, the consequences will likely default in a way severely to our detriment, e.g. universal surveillence etc, in the absense of societal trust.

Consequently, the imperative for AI researchers is specific: to shift toward designing the necessary technical infrastructure specifically to shape our future.

@AriDrennen Trying to remember who it was who fought the ACA (and its predecessor) at every turn, resulting in it becoming such a twisted version of a bill … rather than working on it in good faith to make it better.

Maybe the same people who can’t even get other people's names right?

I forget who it was who said that slashing USAID, dooming tens of millions to preventable deaths as a culture war exercise, was a practice run for doing the same thing at home, but they were spot on
