We are certainly facing a lot of systemic problems which should not be individualized, but at the same time, I believe that academics hold a certain amount of power, and it is worth being thoughtful about how we use that power, including the framing of our work.

A brilliant question to ask grad students in CS, HCI, etc, fields where all the money for their current paychecks and future faculty lines is tied to "AI" right now 👇
If so, why? Are you under pressure to do so? Where does that pressure come from? What would happen if you resist?

I still fully doubt that I am capable of doing my job on the regular. More than 7 years, two books (and now three more in the works 🫠), a better role, and promotion. Still feel completely incapable some days.

If an NYC public school tries to do this to my kid, I promise you it's her last day at that school.
I learned last year that Colorado was using $3 million in federal pandemic funds to bring AI into schools — through a partnership with a company called MagicSchool, in which funds would go toward having teachers and students use its product. I visited a class to see that in practice. (2/x)

Just need everyone to Google the name "Rosalind Franklin" at this moment.
Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy
A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?
China has made cheap, clean energy available in huge quantities. The world should take the win econ.st/4oqFszB
