Something @caseynewton said on today's Hard Fork inspired me to write about the need for empathetic leadership in tech, and especially AI. Let me know your thoughts.

Is ChatGPT down?

Christel van der Boom boosted:

We are who we are. I wish we could stop judging certain groups without knowing anything them.
Why don’t we take the time to learn who they are?
Why do we think we are better? Have we thought about what makes us the same as others?

Christel van der Boom boosted:

@jeffjarvis Ugh

What email marketers do to get me to click.

Didn't work BTW.

The image displays a email subject that reads: "Christel, a quick dad joke & an exclusive opportunity."

Christel van der Boom boosted:

"The Orwell Test" (for identifying propaganda or disinformation)

1. Facts: Is the information supported by facts that can be confirmed through established methods of validation, meeting legal, scientific or logical standards of proof?

2. Source: Is the information from a provider with a history of accurate reporting?

3. Method: Does the source use professional and accepted techniques of factual reporting without relying on deceptive tactics or logical fallacies?

2=5. 4=8, but also 6=8. Also 2=4, and 6=11. The transitive property of equality doesn’t stand a chance against… Napkin Math.

Rolls of paper towels on a store shelf claiming that 4 rolls of paper towels are equal to 8 rolls of paper towels.

More rolls of paper towels with more questionable math.

@jasonkoebler This makes me wonder how big is the overlap in the Venn diagram is between Eight Sleep users and people directly involved in OpenAI. 🤔

This podcast was a fun project to work on with @mike, @miaq and others at Flipboard.

This makes me laugh each time I see it.

@Flipboard just announced it is ceasing support for X and focusing on Mastodon and other platforms. They just sent this to their 452,000+ X followers: https://twitter.com/Flipboard/status/1726999607866208604

For #TransDayOfRemembrance
I am sharing this recent op-ed by Tamar Westphal.

Reading her piece was like finding the words I've been searching for.

Full disclosure: I had the pleasure of learning alongside Tamar in the The OpEd Project's "Write to Change the World" workshop.

Christel van der Boom boosted:

It's nobody's job to be on twitter at this point.

It's everyone's job to leave.

When the bar turns into a nazi bar run by a guy that loves to talk shop with nazis, you walk out. You don't keep going because you have to hit all the bars.

At some point you either take a stand or you are part of the problem.

threads post from journalist karaswisher with the text: "Also, I am still at Twitter and will remain, mostly to strongly and persistently call out Elon’s nonsense in front of his audience as it matters. I don’t have the luxury of being righteous about quitting as it counts to be visible everywhere on important issues. In this case, the OpenAI players were operating there (what can I say) and the reason I got so much news correct and quickly is that they saw me working in real time and then called. I am not thrilled with it but it is my actual job."

Will #BoomerHumor be trending on Mastodon in the next 24 hours?

Christel van der Boom boosted:

Tonight, we are elated by this pro-choice victory in Ohio and in awe of the dedicated leaders on the ground who sent a clear message ahead of 2024: abortion access is non-negotiable.

Christel van der Boom boosted:

his strategy of intimidation unfortunately seems to be working. sucks to go up against an erratic vindictive billionaire https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/11/100-researchers-say-they-stopped-studying-x-fearing-elon-musk-might-sue-them/
