So glad to see the @Sfchron's feature on my book Predatory Data. If you want to read more on how Big Tech's obsession with surveilling + experimenting on populations has a precedent in eugenics, the book is out with @UCPress next week. https://t.co/oDXqKlQbTc

So glad to have Predatory Data featured in this @sfchronicle feature. Big Tech's obsession w/ surveilling + experimenting on populations, esp minorities, for political + financial profit has a precedent w/ eugenics. Predatory Data - out next wk w/ @ucpress - is my book on this.

CA's veto of #AISafety Bill #SB1047 - despite WIDE public support had everything to do w/ lobbying fr. OpenAI, FB Meta, Marc Andreessen. Open AI's ousted brd mbrs said it best: AI can't be allowed to govern themselves. Can we listen to these #WomeninAI? https://t.co/MghqCFns3U

[Anita Say Chan @wrongrrl]

This letter fr OpenAI whistleblowers should be required reading for all students. & news that OpenAI is removing its non-profit board's oversight is just the latest sign that it's abandoning its founding promise to prioritize public safety over profit. https://t.co/ERy6TUOAWE
