Since being laid off from Twitter, a lot of folks have suggested I write a book. It makes sense given my career and experiences, not just Twitter, but in applied responsible AI.

What they don’t know is I’ve been fiddling with a proposal for years and have backed off from four different agencies because of the deeply ingrained stereotypes that exist of what books are expected of someone like me 1/

@ruchowdh you know the novel series The Expanse? In one interview, the authors said everyone told them it wouldn't sell, but the proposed solutions were not really acceptable, so they decided to write the book "for pizza money" (Daniel Abraham's words). Well, it got them a ~ 10 years contract, plus the TV show.
