@united Been trying to talk to an agent for days and not able to due to long wait times. There is no call back option and no indication of how long I need to hold. Chat agents respond after 1hour and are not helpful. Unfortunately I can’t book online. How do I talk to an agent?

Nine months ago, I learned that Facebook has a Responsible AI team, and has had some form of it since Cambridge Analytica. I began to wonder: what has it been doing these past three years? Nearly four-dozen interviews later, here's what I found. https://t.co/0klrpcGEUo

Thought I wanted to check out Clubhouse but hearing about hate speech issues already. Social media platforms need to build in moderation from the beginning, but I guess revenue/growth trumps responsibility every time.

@merrierm @uwcreate Nice! I still remember how organized you are about your calendar. I block time off too but fail to be strict about protecting those blocks.

Why does @Twitter keep recommending cricket topics and celebrities to me? Never tweeted on this topic, have provided feedback that I’m not interested. Is it because I’m Indian? #profiling

This is disheartening regarding the state of misinformation in the US (via @clifflampe) https://t.co/0Q2DFmvE8K

Another attack on immigrant-friendly programs, this time the STEM-OPT program that adds significant value to the US economy. Glad to see the support from big tech companies who know how hard it is to hire STEM talent: https://t.co/Vt1ANnzq3P

Some great ideas in this letter by FB employees To Zuck regarding political ads (though sad that everything leaks). https://t.co/7MuPCKITX4

So inspired by the quantum supremacy breakthrough: https://t.co/wn1mQ8Oty3. Listening to the team talking about this feels like science fiction come alive!

Too many promoted Tweets! Not cool Twitter. What happened to you?

[sharoda @sharoda]

Uggh Twitter's UI seems to get worse everytime I check. Main reason I've been staying away lately.
