BREAKING: The Seattle City Council has passed first-in-the-nation legislation to protect people from discrimination based on their caste. The ordinance was sponsored by @cmkshama.

Listen you don’t have to like EEAAO. Your loss. But I don’t really get how you look at a movie that is quite literally about a mother learning to embrace her daughter just in time to prevent her from committing suicide & said “there’s no genuine emotion here”

Google NYC employees who arrived at the office early this morning stood in a line to test their badges-- if light turned red, it meant you had been laid off. if green, you were safe. 👎

What the fuck is going on at Google? By looking my at the caliber of the people they laid off, I’m guaranteeing that they have no clue what’s going on.

In the past, layoffs would scare investors given they may hint bad planning, poor revenue plans, poor growth potential, etc. Nowadays, investors feel happy about layoffs. But layoffs doesn’t address the underlying issue: poor management and dysfunctional organizations.

Stochastic Parrots paper by @mmitchell_ai @timnitGebru @emilymbender warned:
"Work on synthetic human behavior is a bright line in ethical AI development, where downstream effects need to be understood and modeled in order to block foreseeable harm.."

Okay, a thread defending Blake Lemoine. Not how you’re expecting. I won’t defend Lemoine’s claim the LaMDA chatbot has achieved sentience – that’s false. But I will claim that Lemoine’s mistake is a good one, which we shouldn’t mock. 🧵->
