I identify as an unstoppable force.

Speaking of Shane Legg, co-founder & "chief AGI scientist" 🙄 of Deepmind, here is this gem he co-authored in 2007 titled "Universal Intelligence" where he wonders, as one does,

"Are men on average more intelligent than women? Are white people smarter than black people?" 🤔 Questions white men like to "ask"

I guess it’s time to put this back up 🤣

This is called eugenicst and blatant racism in scholar-speak and here they are normalized everywhere, pouring money into "AI safety" all over the UN, all over lisgistlation, all over corporations and startups and all over anything "AI".

"We come to bury ChatGPT, not to praise it." Excellent piece by @danmcquillan
https://www.danmcquillan.org/chatgpt.html

I suggest you read the whole thing, but some pull quotes:

"ChatGPT is a part of a reality distortion field that obscures the underlying extractivism and diverts us into asking the wrong questions and worrying about the wrong things."

I'm at #QueerBibliography @ the Senate House Library! I'm really excited for this conference and I'm really excited for my paper, which extends the impossible/archival imaginaries proposed by @professorcaz and Gilliand and proposes a queered Metadatic Imaginary. #critcat #critlib

#QueerBibliography will be great but also very challenging for me; it'll be sad to not be able to communicate with the other attendees (it's all masked) but I'm glad that everyone is staying safe. 💕

Today. Tomorrow. The day after that.

New study finds "no substantial evidence of any biological advantages for trans women competing in elite women's sport."

"'What threatens women's elite sport, for cis and trans women, is not trans women, but is rather misogyny in the form of underfunding, non-parity in participation and leadership, inequitable sport space allocation/access, and a range of sporting opportunities not afforded to women...in equitable ways.'"
