I think I just barely escaped a shockingly savvy scammer trying to get my bank credentials. First, whoever it was had my actual phone number, my actual bank, and the last 4 digits of my account. They sent a "was this transaction you" message that looked almost identical to the ones my bank sends.

Stunned by all the “ICE isn’t gonna do anything more than what TSA already does” rhetoric. Untrained white supremacists who’ve been told by bosses they’re not subject to laws will have POC and women lined up in front of them to grope and abuse and they don’t even have to chase them.

6) ICE agents have a pretty marked gender disproportion. TSA agents, by necessity, are much closer to 50/50. How are they going to deal with non-men needing patdowns?

It is a months-long process for TSA agents. They do in fact have to know what the scans mean and how to conduct a patdown, and we know that even with training they don't always succeed. What are you expecting to happen here?

3) You're chilling the travel of everyone vulnerable, and that will mean many, many people who don't see the birth of their grandchild, the death of their parent, the wedding of their best friend. It means community ties splinter and fray for the marginalized.

Dr Damien P Williams Warned You About Exactly This

@Wolven

As noted many times before, prejudicial beliefs & assumptions about disabled & neurodivergent people, BIPOC populations, women, & LGBTQIA+ people have formed the basis of the data which has been used to train "A.I." health systems, & we know those prejudices get reproduced…

…Frankly when it comes to GPT in healthcare, the possibility of being subjected to a system built out of & trained on large rafts of the "natural language" people on the internet tend to use to talk about the needs of BIPOC, Disabled, LGBTQ, & Femme folx sounds horrifying.

Dr Damien P Williams Warned You About Exactly This

@Wolven

@1a Automated assessment tools read women's and Black people's pain incorrectly; disability assessment systems are improperly calibrated based on old presuppositions about disabled lived experience, resulting in negative health outcomes and negative impacts on benefits allocations;…

 …and "A.I." mental health tools can have higher proportions of adverse outcomes for neurodivergent populations.
