"it was just a side effect of the algorithm" is going to be the 21st century version of "I was just following orders".

Look to the work of Safiya Noble, Ruha Benjamin, Abeba Birhane, Mar Hicks, Alex Hanna, Deb Raji, Sasha Costanza-Chock and others. Only some of these authors would put things on arXiv (and not all of their work).

If anyone got laid off from Google in Research today, happy to help you find connections elsewhere, in academic, industry, and government. DM me. Sorry you're dealing with this nonsense. – at Boston, MA

NOW I AM BECOME NEGATIVE NANCY,
DESTROYER OF WORLDS
Much of the interestingness of the fediverse has to do with the ability to freely migrate to a new instance
The linked post here proposes certain freedoms and agreements intended to preserve that freedom
mastodon.social/@blaine/1093…
So if you have the energy, sign up for a Fediverse account.
At the moment, i suggest an intersectionality-friendly instance, just so we can find each other and your moderators will be known allies
My coordinates are in the post quoted at the top of this thread.
And yet, another world is possible there. The first attempts to break up empires and the divine right of kings also seemed impossible, and were complicated and fraught from the jump, but it has — for many if not all of us — been an improvement
Once again, I'm reminded of @m_older's #Infomocracy — the system of centenals is constantly battling among the major coalitions, many of whom are tied to immense capital, and there are lots of moral complications in Information itself
and though I'm cranky about how familiar they are, I'm given hope by how the loose anarchic style of federation gives us new tools to organize, instead of the Thatcher-esque "There Is No Alternative" walled-gardens like this hellsite and the Other Ones
Does that mean that it's all happy gamboling on the award?
Far from it. The Fediverse is currently having interesting and all-too-familiar arguments about moderation and community standards
Y'all, what the Fediverse needs right now is more diverse voices
Artists, writers, activists. The global south. Intersectional troublemakers, those who believe another world is possible and who are willing to imagine that it could be better
Sending out the periodic rescue flare over here
Find me at dair-community.social/@troch… ; it's nice over there in the Fediverse.

8. The dream SBF was able to sell to the Yglesias/Shor types is a dream of 1990s restoration: lets go back to world before Occupy Wall Street, BLM, Me Too. A world where tech lords & moderate Dem pols come up with technocratic solutions, no messy left activism.
