An article I'm extremely proud of has just been accepted. It blends all my favourite things: co-creation by, with and for youth. It will take a bit before it's out in the world but I cannot wait!

My holiday reading is an annual reread of all the books in the Miss Fisher series. It is a delight to undertake and a serious comfort read.

The most dangerous thing about AI is not that the machines might one day think. It is that we are being trained, by men with enormous financial gains riding on our acquiescence, to stop thinking for ourselves.

while I appreciate the intention here, I would insist that comparing ai systems with humans is a category error which rests on flawed and reductive understanding of human beings

Not from Bray, but it's an interesting situation. If the dates under her name correspond to when she worked as a community pharmacist, then perhaps this could be her? notices.irishtimes.com/death/burke/...

The contrast between the number of media requests I got when rich people on a cruise were facing a deadly, but contained outbreak versus now that some of the poorest people in the world are facing a deadly and devastating epidemic is just so so stark and it just really annoys the hell out of me.

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI

Happy birthday to #biochemist Marie Maynard Daly (1921-2003), 1st Black woman to earn a PhD in #chemistry in the US! 🐡🧪👩🏿‍🔬 #histsci She made important research contributions to our understanding of the biochemisty of the cell nucleus & cardiovascular issues & the chemistry of histones & protein 🧵

My linocut portrait of Marie Maynard Daly in purples (she’s a young smiling Black woman, wearing earrings, a necklace and a dress, looking at the viewer over her shoulder). Above her to the right is an anatomical heart with a blowout diagram in a circle of a clogged artery and the cholesterol molecule all in red. Next to her on the left in blue are the molecules of the bases which make up DNA and a diagram of a human cell.

There are so many beautiful bikes! Sometimes it's hard to find the perfect fit, but when you know yours, that's an amazing feeling. I hope for you that you get to live somewhere where you can cycle the bike of your dreams!
