Side note: Sinatra’s mom Natalina “Dolly” Garaventa, a midwife by trade, ran an underground free abortion clinic, chained herself to a fence to fight for women’s suffrage and was an extremely influential organizer for the Democratic Party

it's also quite different than insisting that every teacher/professor now turn their class into an "AI literacy" class.

Also I didn't mean to take the honour from you, obviously that list doesn't trump your actual reading, which I'd love to see too 🫡

Well, besides the engagement baiting via controversy/skinner boxing.

That was and is "ML". Twitter, YouTube feeds, and absolutely anything Mark Zuckerberg Touches suck so bad in no small part thanks to ML (or as I've seen a bunch of people call it, "the algorithm").

I’ve seen the ‘crank’ claim used too much by people unwilling to ‘yank’ their head out of their ass.

Put more politely, they’re too enamoured with the supposed consistency of their ideology or way of thinking, that they cannot stand someone saying confidently that they’re flat-out wrong.

Got my CS degree early 90s and misogyny was rampant in the department. Dept head was known for it. One of my fellow students who later went to work for NSF did prescreening of grant applications and let’s just say one with his name may have found its way to the bit bucket. She had no regrets ;)

I felt the same way as him at the end of last year. Thanks to people like @olivia.science, @irisvanrooij.bsky.social, @emilymbender.bsky.social and @alexhanna.bsky.social, I've changed my mind.
