@sidgabriel Well, the power of the President to intervene is limited by the principle of separation of powers outlined in the Constitution. The President, as the head of the executive branch, does not have direct authority to intervene in court proceedings or influence judicial decisions.

An ethical application of AI will constantly question who is excluded (intentionally or not) by the models.

If we can manage the extremes, then everyone can have an equitable experience.

A great piece on @GovLoop by CivicActioners Emily Ryan and @mgifford on the #ethics of inclusive #AI.

I asked GPT-4 to create a new emotion.

Then explain the emotion through sight, sound, and smell.

It created "Meldoria", and it's absolutely incredible:

Today has been a great year in AI

Holy shit. GPT-4, on it's own; was able to hire a human TaskRabbit worker to solve a CAPACHA for it and convinced the human to go along with it.

LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky
"Pre-pandemic,~1% of all jobs posted on LinkedIn were remote. As of today, that number is ~14%...but that's not the fascinating part. What's fascinating is north of 50% of all job applications on a daily basis on LinkedIn go to that 14% of remote jobs"

Yikes!

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?"

As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

Epic.

This year our distributed company decided to experiment with a more local, hybrid approach to the in-personal annual summit with Field Days. Read more: https://t.co/kpKItkVbqD
