lol wow this site really is just ten times better than Twitter, huh. People are like "It's just like old Twitter," and nah, I disagree. It's better. Old Twitter didn't have Starter Packs, moderation lists, quote-reply detaching, reply-hiding, none of that. It's better.

I want to create an incubator that funds atproto/bluesky experimental projects to the tune of $5k-$10k dev grants. I am sorely tempted to call it “Chemtrails”, because it seeds the ATmosphere Hit me with your best ideas!

Fairness definitions differ across groups! For white respondents, fairness = "proximity'' to assigned school. For Hispanic or Latino parents, fairness = "same rules'' for everyone. Cool work by @nilou.bsky.social + students

New #CSCW2024 paper in which we found that people's definitions of fairness for an algorithmic distribution system (school choice) differ across socioeconomic groups. These definitions of fairness shape how fair they see the system, controlling for their own outcome. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

The deepfake crisis for women and girls has grown tremendously. It isn’t mentioned in most AI discourse, even though it’s the primary use of deepfakes by far. Now, it is being used to victimize dozens of teen girls. The perpetrators include their male classmates www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
