It’s staggering that you can sit in soft left policy debates and no-one mentions the ecological crisis. This year‘s floods and fires are set to cost Europe 180 billion euro = total projected EU growth for 2026. Now add the inflationary effects on borrowing costs. Now think about ‘fiscal headroom’ 🌬️

What is Alpha School? It is three things: 1) A small private school network 2) A single charter school in Arizona 3) An aspiring ed-tech company What if I told you I can see the future of these endeavors, and disaster looms? I know this world. I know what's coming (or already here). THREAD

Six years ago I published a book that engaged machine learning in terms of the politics of text, language & the impossibility of definitive authorship. Are any of the men writing now on LLMs, authorship, and text citing my 2020 work?…. No, reader, they are not.

I think it's a huge problem for the context Iris is talking about Gerdes, A. The tech industry hijacking of the AI ethics research agenda and why we should reclaim it. Discov Artif Intell 2, 25 (2022). doi.org/10.1007/s441... 1/2

The tech industry hijacking of the AI ethics research agenda and why we should reclaim it - Discover Artificial Intelligence
This paper reflects on the tech industry’s colonization of the AI ethics research field and addresses conflicts of interest in public policymaking concerning AI. The AI ethics research community faces two intertwined challenges: In the first place, we have a tech industry heavily influencing the AI ethics research agenda. Secondly, cleaning up after the tech industry has implied that we have turned to value-driven design methods to bring ethics to AI design. But by framing research questions relevant to a technical practice, we have facilitated the technological solutionism behind the tech industry’s business model. Therefore, this paper takes the first steps to reshape the AI ethics research agenda by suggesting moving toward an emancipatory framework that brings politics to design while, at the same time, bearing in mind that AI is not to be treated as an inevitability. As a research community, we must focus on the repressive power dynamics exacerbated by AI and address challenges facing the vulnerable groups seldom heard, despite the fact that they are the ones most negatively affected by AI initiatives.

Northern Ireland, functionally, has no immigration. Net immigration last year was about 8000 people in a population of 2 million, and that was a record.
