Arvind NarayananAlgorithms aren't the enemy. Chronological feeds don't scale and the signal-to-noise ratio will plummet if this ever gets popular. The real problems with today's algorithmic feeds are non-transparency, lack of choice, and optimizing for engagement instead of healthy discourse.
Open-source is a perfect opportunity to fix all this. Have there been any efforts to create a Mastodon instance with a (community governed) ranking algorithm? Is that technically feasible? Or is the idea simply anathema?
Wow. In the early days of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Amazon physically moved 10,000 terabytes of Ukrainian government data out of the country in 80-terabyte shock-proof boxes. The evacuated data included "the population register, land and property ownership records, tax payment records, bank records, education registries, anti-corruption databases". The boxes were sent to Amazon, and the data was uploaded to AWS cloud.

Alex EnglerAn 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!

I was today years old when I learned that there is a darknet market for the drone footage which captures the moment of soldiers dying 🤐
As Kyiv is getting bombed again in the middle of the night, here is a regular reminder that the only morally acceptable position on this is support for sanctions on Russia and aid to Ukraine with the goal of defeating and eventually dismantling the Russian state. Any other take is fascism enablement disguised as moral high ground.
Welp, Russians are bombing my hometown again.
Anna BacciarelliA sudden influx of folk from twitter after the latest nonsense, I see. Guess I should do some kind of #introduction...
Hi, I'm a tech and human rights researcher and advocate based in London, currently working at Human Rights Watch. Past work has focused on AI/ML accountability, facial recognition and other biometrics tech. I co-run an interdisciplinary tech research network, #realml, and I should really up my mastodon game 🐘
