#Diverse perspectives on #AI from #Rust contributors and maintainers

Healthy debates are still possible, it seems. 🙏

In the summer, I give away #secondhandbooks to anyone who comes to my booth at community events. This is a way for me to support access to #diverse #literature during a renewed culture of #bookbans

I believe in doing this for free because not everyone can get certain types of books at their #library or purchase #books for themselves.

But I can't afford to do this by myself. Tabling fees can cost anywhere from $50-$300. Even a dollar would help so much!
