About Mehttps://evijit.github.io
Envious of hci.social! I wish there was a facct.social or something, haha. Our community is small enough to be easily admined but I personally don’t have the resources to set this up 🫠
I am looking for more moderators for mastodon.social. Please e-mail [email protected] if you are interested, but please only apply if you have consistently been here for a while.
Also while we’re at it, #twittermigration
For folks just joining from #twittermigration, here are some things that helped me out (1/3) 🧵

Tip: iOS users, try using the app Metatext for Mastodon - it seems to have a better UX and clearly separate sections for DMs and public posts.

Here’s the link. It’s also free and open source :)

By the way Mastodon friends, I am on track to graduate from my PhD in May 2023, and have started to look for full time roles in the industry as a a Researcher in Responsible ML/AI Ethics! Please pass it around and refer me to positions if you know of any 🙏🙏

My up to date contact details, published papers and resume can be found on https://evijit.github.io/.

Thank you so much in advance!

Lowkey tired of the best ML people still presenting cookie cutter responsible ML frameworks. As a community we should probably direct our energy more to technical solutions and lobbying for the existing frameworks to become policy instead of publishing yet another framework 🫠
In true PhD student fashion I finished my slides 5 mins before meeting with my advisor and they weren’t half bad 🥹
I’d used a free service to link my mastodon and Twitter but then just disabled it. This currently feels like a nice, safe, niche tumblr feed of my favorite people and I feel so protective about it :)

An incomplete list of people who recently joined Mastodon in the technology policy or ethical AI/ML space, whom I followed and think you should check out!

Feel encouraged to reply with more suggestions / people I missed!
