"it was just a side effect of the algorithm" is going to be the 21st century version of "I was just following orders".

Look to the work of Safiya Noble, Ruha Benjamin, Abeba Birhane, Mar Hicks, Alex Hanna, Deb Raji, Sasha Costanza-Chock and others. Only some of these authors would put things on arXiv (and not all of their work).

If anyone got laid off from Google in Research today, happy to help you find connections elsewhere, in academic, industry, and government. DM me. Sorry you're dealing with this nonsense.

I think the (imaginary) architects of Information were probably federating off some foundational documents not unlike this one (nods at @m_older and @Annaleen ; your future-casting novels are looking more and more prescient)

Y'all, what the Fediverse needs right now is more diverse voices

Artists, writers, activists. The global south. Intersectional troublemakers, those who believe another world is possible and who are willing to imagine that it could be better

Sending out the periodic rescue flare over here

Find me at https://t.co/JFVspS1f3R ; it's nice over there in the Fediverse.

Much of the interestingness of the fediverse has to do with the ability to freely migrate to a new instance
The linked post here proposes certain freedoms and agreements intended to preserve that freedom

@ylecun Pretty much exactly what happened was you overhyped and released a model. People tested it (you should be thankful for us as it's your job to do this before release) and demonstrated that not only does it fail to stand up to your hype, but it is also dangerous.

8. The dream SBF was able to sell to the Yglesias/Shor types is a dream of 1990s restoration: lets go back to world before Occupy Wall Street, BLM, Me Too. A world where tech lords & moderate Dem pols come up with technocratic solutions, no messy left activism.

Before Redmond rebuilt Seattle's economy, Boeing was struggling and there were billboards along 99 saying "will the last ones to leave Seattle please turn out the lights"
