"Let's use this moment to demand better alternatives, not just a better billionaire."
Ethan Zuckerman@EthanZ25 Apr 2022
Okay, like virtually everyone else who studies social media, I'm fascinated by @elonmusk's takeover of Twitter. Let me say upfront: I have no idea what Twitter will be like under Elon's leadership and neither do you. But that's the point.

TONIGHT 7PM @BrattleTheatre! For Boston area folks. We are thrilled to be presenting Jon-Sesrie Goff's AFTER SHERMAN, a formally ambitious, historically grounded, and emotionally powerful rumination that is committed to the personal and the political. Not to be missed...

Good thread: the internet will always break your heart.

MIT Jameel Clinic for AI & Health@AIHealthMIT28 Feb 2022
A new investigation by @statnews and MIT Jameel Clinic found that subtle shifts in data fed into popular health care algorithms can cause their accuracy to plummet over time, raising the prospect AI could do more harm than good in many hospitals. statnews.com/2022/02/28/seps…

AI gone astray: How subtle shifts in patient data send popular algorithms reeling, undermining...

When using #deepfakes for political satire or social advocacy, who it’s “okay” to deepfake and under what circumstances, remains hotly contested. Our #JustJokingReport with @opendoclab breaks down examples from Brazil, China, the US, Spain, and elsewhere: wit.to/JustJoking
