"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.
Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

my paper was rejected a while back because, according to the reviewer, "it demonised machine learning," and I fully embraced the label "machine learning demonizer" since
I had a viral tweet comparing machine learning to cocaine.
I was then approached by a major tech media outlet to write a series exploring what different kinds of AI would be if they were drugs, but I declined as I didn't want to be known as the 'AI as drugs' guy
