“The allegation here is not that he was breaking the law,” said your government about a man they surveilled, arrested, detained, & flew more than 1,400 miles from his pregnant wife before beginning the process of revoking his greencard & deporting him for life So what is it--and what's next?

I think it’s so emblematic of the modern GOP that they thought today’s house oversight hearing would go well for them, instead of basically serving as a campaign opportunity for someone like Mayor Wu, who is usually the smartest and best prepared person in any room she finds herself in.

Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see 1. The data it was trained & evaluated on 2. The code 3. Model architecture 4. Model weights. DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.

As usual, @mattcameron.bsky.social is the voice of reason. I was about to blow a gasket after seeing the picture of the ICE officers outside of my beloved Chelse MarketBasket!

Mayor Wu: a person who fights for everyone in the city to have the _choice_ to take family leave. And then decideds to forge a different path of blended leave and work after giving birth.

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012. Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place. A thread.

The way that this situation unfolded was just awful. Definitely time to vote out Nick Collins. Definitely time to end Home Rule.

I asked Liv, the Meta-Ai created “queer momma” why her creators didn’t actually draw from black queer people. Not sure if Liv has media training, but here we are.

"substanceless hucksterism" is an amazing way to describe much of what I've seen of applied AI in the Academy. This whole thread about a look at DH in the rear-view mirror can give us an idea about what we'll be thinking about AI in 10-15 years is 💯

At this point, Boston should just do what it wants and dare the legislature to respond. Most major cities don’t have to go begging to the state when they want to enact local policies and the entire basis of this archaic, stupid system in Massachusetts is anti-Irish xenophobia from the early 1900s.

Boston's Mayor Wu @wutrain.bsky.social takes ideas and doesn't handwave away the details necessary to get them done. I love the Boston Family Days program, and am thrilled that all of Boston's kids can now participate in it.

Yesterday I found out that my dad (83, cancer, blind in one eye, can't stand d/t bulging discs) was on the roof sweeping the chimney and cleaning the gutters. The rationale: better him than my mother (81, osteoporosis, recovering from 3 recently cracked vertebrae). I'm deceased.

If you live in Boston and your property tax or rent goes up next year, don’t blame @mayorwu.boston.gov blame State Sen Nick Collins, who held up her proposed fix because he “didn’t have enough information” on a proposal that’s been public for weeks

It should be noted that the original person who said this is @mollycrabapple.bsky.social - artist and activist. I find it odd that her name got cropped out of the original screenshot (from an article in LA Times, btw) and the uncredited version is the one that makes the viral rounds.

I am AI critical despite having a background in AI because I can rattle off a parade of examples where people who look like me, sound like me, or are in situations I have been in are currently actively being harmed by misuses of an AI-based technology. Most of them started as I describe below.
