I wonder if you could do a two part event so folks in different parts of the world could participate given time zones? Maybe one that gets people from east Asia to NA West Coast and then another one that's the rest of the world?

Oh this about to be fire.

There’s so much open space, blue ocean for technology to grow in the service of empathy, care, and community. I’d love to imagine futures that center agency, abundance, and trust.

@timnitGebru Hi Timnit, I’d love to connect regarding AI research. Is there a preferred way to reach you? Thanks!

So much could be done to better support patients, healthcare/public health orgs and healthcare workers (all of them play such critical roles)... With increasing needs, labour shortages and a lack of health literacy... We need to empower them to transform healthcare for the better.

How can Blockchain technology be adapted to counter disinformation?

wouter-n.bsky.social•47 days ago

Would be lovely to spend some time on the discursive power of big tech companies, understanding how it numbs people and how to break out of it

jaimealvarez.bsky.social•46 days ago

This looks awesome, thanks for sharing! I'll definitely read it.

Maybe @loesdamhof.bsky.social would be interested as well.

Very cool. I'm thinking a lot about, well, the future of language and preserving linguistic diversity while also entering an era where we may be able to talk to anyone in the world (may!). That future is one worth pondering, I think.

So one thing I'm struggling as a founder (who wants to run my business differently i.e. community focused) is how to work in this current ecosystem that's dominated by VC and the Oligarchs and endless growth. Anything about that would be super helpful.

timnitgebru.bsky.social•46 days ago

Oops thanks to people from pointing out that 5 leads to 404.

Exciting!! I'd love to get some grounding in small models and tools I could use on a souped-up Raspberry Pi.

I'm no software genius, so it's been slow going – but I love building electronics projects (with full tutorials) that make ethical methods more approachable!

alexglow.bsky.social•25 days ago

...Oh lol, didn't notice this was from 3 weeks ago 😅 I blame low sleep. Still excited about it!

markandrejevic.bsky.social•47 days ago

Very interested in concrete plans/models for a public service media alternative to the dataveillance-driven economic model we have created. It was possible to come up with a viable alternative to commercial broadcasting, why not for interactive platforms? A possible contribution to Possible Futures

marshacoupe.bsky.social•44 days ago

Agree.
Why not create a social media co-op we all own and operate that belongs to us?

parseraisin.bsky.social•46 days ago

I'd be interested in exploring a reimagined public service infrastructure for education, health and civic services that is not powered by vendor supplied commercial software.
