After I watched those people storm the capitol on January 6, I vowed to never again be shocked on behalf of this country. It’s a struggle to hold that line as I watch L.A.

Really enjoyed both She Who Knows and Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor. Excellent books, with a very refreshing unique perspective. #booksky

The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.

I put together a #video about #AI earlier this week. I think it's a good discussion on a number of new #books and some of the other negative externalities of AI. Check it out here: youtu.be/bnVxJuSgidg

This is why we should never debate the worth of another person We all have value just for being ourselves It’s not tied to our job, or health status or our economic contribution Saying that someone must prove they “matter” to get Medicaid is blatant eugenics Disabled people aren’t expendable!

I can't believe any Democrat would THINK of allying with Elon Musk. I won't take money from the guy who does a Hitler salute. It's really that simple.

Already saw at least one Dem Congressman making the same point about denaturalization and just begging, begging people not to descend to the level of calling for stripping the citizenship of people you don't like.

#AI is all the buzz right now. So I took the time to check out a couple #books and discuss them together. Atlas of AI | The AI Con | Empire of AI all three are excellent. Check them out in my latest #video #booksky youtu.be/bnVxJuSgidg

Crazy that they keep warning about this thing they are literally trying to invent. When they could just not make this technology and pivot to something that makes people's lives better. Technology isn't inevitable and won't appear on its own

This seems like a reasonable use of machine learning. Calling this AI, is probably a bad decision. Especially if you are making the model. If you want to clear more things up create a committee of authors to review the model. Get skeptics and authors others trust

Not only is coal terrible for our environment—it’s deadly to manage. I slammed the American Coal Council for the hundreds of lives lost at coal-fired plants every year. We must invest in clean energy and protect our energy workers. Ms. Arthun’s face speaks volumes.

Hey look, I totally get if you say “I don’t trust people who use AI in any form, and that’s why I’m not putting my books on Kobo” but if you are putting your books on Amazon as you say that, I don’t believe that the reason you’re not putting your books on Kobo is that you don’t like AI.

Researcher Amita Gupta has spent more than a decade planning and running a $70-million trial to study a new tuberculosis drug, enrolling ~6,000 participants in 13 countries. It might all have been for nothing. That's because a new NIH policy has abruptly cut off billions to trials abroad. 🧪

Musk promising to cut $2T by "running the Govt like a biz"—but succeeding only in starving 300K people to death by gutting US Aid—proves again that billionaires don't know how to manage money except to exploit & kill low income people. Stop trusting billionaires. Start taxing them out of existence.

I hate tipping discourse so much because people act like workers giving them the option to tip are the enemies instead of the system that doesn’t pay them a living wage to begin with

Man this company is such a dog. What kind of "work" could they reasonably be doing? They can barely make a functional social network! They went around the valley begging for money! Desperate.
