So glad this is getting coverage. Altadena is not Malibu or Palisades. Black and Latino families have lived there for generations. Now they’re concerned that gov resources will be channeled to wealthier LA areas where many celebs reside. www.reuters.com/world/us/far...

Absolutely upside down stuff: a Peabody award winning professor who teaches media non-fiction storytelling about checks notes police, inequality, and power is “persona non grata” on the campus where he is employed for that expertise? for documenting the thing he is known for covering?

Something I find crop up again and again in modern AI is that something that worked really well in an informal community of good citizens (like open datasets of subtitles) is suddenly fed into a capitalism-driven machine whose job is to maximise value extraction, which transforms it into harm.
