There’s nothing I find as pathetic in modern AI circles as people larping that they believe in a sci-fi future while their imaginations are so limited they can’t picture anyone in that future except one kind of body, one way of thinking, one way of living.

1/ I 've been trying to make #AI conferences accessible since 2018 when I first attended @NeurIPSConf, and realised that they weren't accessible by any means. Albeit being a DIE co-chair of @icmlconf I can say that I feel ashamed by the participants' behavior for yet another time

As the number of attendees of big ML conferences (@icmlconf, @NeurIPSConf, @iclr_conf etc) is >10e4 we need to have sensory friendly sessions so that everyone can attend Please contact/dm me to discuss ideas on how to make this feasible We can brainstorm at ICML if you are around

The French Ministry of Culture has appointed me a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters. I am only the second Deafblind person, after Helen Keller, to receive this distinction. If only Helen were here to guide me. She could read and write French; I’m still working on that. 1/3
Haben enthusiastically holds up a certificate that says, “La Ministre de la Culture nomme par arrêté de ce jour. Madame Haben Girma: Chevalière de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.” It is signed by Rachida Dati, Ministre de la Culture, and the signature has a tactile seal over it. Haben is wearing a long-sleeved black top with gold buttons along one side. Behind her is a wall of hanging fuchsias.

It is understandable that there is relevant, and immensely important, research around those matters, but it is also immensely important that we are mindful about what we post and how it affects/what repercussions it might have to fellow readers.
