I have spent my career at Tech companies, and I reckon this: Innovation for innovation's sake is sexy but useless. No code is magical enough to be worth a damn if it doesn't do something real human people want or need. If you're spending billions without centering humans, you're wasting your life.

🎶When you put your perfidy pier in & your perfidy pier back out, & you shake it all about, you do the hokey cokey & you turn the orphans around, that’s what pier PR stunts are all about…🎶 So it’s a perpetual money generating project for military contractors & consultants & corrupt politicians. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Honestly no matter who is elected, I feel like the Democratic Party isn’t taking the possibility of another insurrection or mass violence seriously enough…

Given the ways these companies churn out there products, it feels like we’ve passed the point of considering AI ethics and need to move into organizing/activism…how many articles highlighting AI’s role in the military and prison industrial complexes do we need to read?

Navigating grant applications while dealing with depression and imposter syndrome feels somewhat like driving a vehicle that you can’t see out of. Sometimes, I’m making what I think are “moves” forward; other times, it feels like I’m trapped behind a tree while other vehicle pass around me

A lot of folks are demonstrating off a post of mine that they have never really developed a comprehensive set of ethical values independent of the framework of the laws they know and it's fascinating how they think the removal of the latter leaves everyone without the former.

had a terrifying conversation with a born-again Christian that i'll never forget- was explaining to him that Judaism doesn't have a concept of eternal hell- and he asked "then what keeps you from raping and killing and stealing?"

Say what you will about the various Democratic party actors in the fight over whether Biden stays on the ticket, but I can understand all of their behavior much better than I can the journalists who are trying to write their way into the camps

I live in the “Data Center capital of the world” and tech companies are trying to develop on historic Black cemeteries. This increased demand for computing power is a climate justice as well as a racial Justice issue.

this entire crusade against diversity in hiring and admissions is based on the supposition that all white men are necessarily more qualified than any nonwhite person or woman who might be considered for the job. like, this lawsuit more or less states that outright.

Honestly, I have no evidence for this, but the speed and energy at which the Democrats are moving make me wonder if they ALSO have some monetary stake in Project 2050. They don’t seem afraid enough.

My immediate thoughts: Columbusing again. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Europeans repeating history of spreading disease again. 😱 Unvaccinated people posing danger to others.😠 Antivaxxers shouldn’t be allowed to enter countries where a disease was defeated with effort.😡 Wealthy people costing others in multiple ways. 🤬

I’m going to share an opinion: It kind of irks me that fairly often when I share an article drawing attention to a clear and present danger, there’s a tendency on here to focus on how the article was written rather than the danger itself. I get it, so many norms in journalism reify power. BUT—

"Look, the Wall Street Journal lists all these companies that did poorly after they initiated diversity initiatives." Huh, looks like most of them were also acquired by private equity groups in leveraged buyouts, and then conducted stock buybacks. "YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO ACTUALLY READ THAT FAR!"
