So Chicago Public Schools has a guide for teachers urging them to use AI, apparently drafted with some help from AI for Education. Is there magic thinking a-plenty in it? Reader, don't you already know? Let's count the ways...
Exciting opportunity! My PI, Prof. Marshini Chetty, is actively recruiting PhD Students for the AIR Lab at UChicago CS. We focus on privacy, security, and tech for underserved communities. A great place to do impactful, interdisciplinary research! Apply cs.uchicago.edu/academics/ad…
Want to make the Internet more inclusive and trustworthy? Come work with me - I’m recruiting
PhD students for Fall 2025! Find out more about our work on my website or the AIR lab website. Apply here: cs.uchicago.edu/academics/ad… #phdgoals #chicago #hci #usableprivacy #usablesecurity

972 days ago, Proctorio sued me for sharing links to 7 unlisted YouTube videos. Due to my tweets, they theorize, students learned how their AI surveillance software works. Students have a right to know. It's in the public interest. Our future depends on us knowing how AIs work.

According to messages shared in Twitter Slack, Twitter’s CISO, chief privacy office, and chief compliance officer all resigned last night.
An employee says it will be up to engineers to “self-certify compliance with FTC requirements and other laws.”

If you're trying to decide on a Mastodon instance to join, this tool will tell you which instances some of the people you follow on Twitter (or who follow you) are on - or the instances the people you've blocked are on! pruvisto.org/debirdify/
ALT a screenshot showing at the top a list of "most relevant instances" which include dair-community.social, hci.social, scholar.social, mstdn.social; below is a heading for "instance distribution" and below it is an unlabeled pie chart where half of it is a single color and the rest is small slivers of many different colors
Bumping this! Dr. Duncan is awesome!!
If you have a background in robotics and a passion for deploying systems in real world environments, consider applying to attend graduate school @UNLComputing @nimbus_lab to work with us. We have currently funded projects with trips scheduled to Alaska and Costa Rica next summer

So, Twitter.
In 2006 LiveJournal was acquired by someone new then deleted a bunch of content & made policy changes that made lots of users feel unwelcome. Then a mass exodus & within a few years was basically a dead platform for some communities. 👀 slate.com/technology/2018/03…

“There is a myth that non-disabled people are independent and disabled people are dependent. We are all interdependent. Many of you like drinking coffee, very few of you grow your own beans” … from a great opening keynote at #assets2022 by @HabenGirma
ALT Haben at the lectern in front of a slide showing the text, “Disabled People Drive Innovation”, with an interpreter between them.

An incredible amount of AI hype — across government, AVs, education, medicine, etc. — is based on misleading comparisons between humans and algorithms that overstate the promises and understate the risks of automation.
Bumping this thread!
