If you or someone you know has an account on mastodon.cloud, I would highly recommend migrating to a new server. Lots of instances are in the process of completely blocking mastodon.cloud which will sever all connections for people on mastodon.cloud. Mastodon.cloud is effectively abandoned, running very old and out of date software with minimal moderation resulting in a good deal of moderation work for those of us running other instances.

I am posting this in hopes that some people on mastodon.cloud see it and decide to take action.

Meet these little articulating strawberry fidgets tucked away in an adorable storage basket. 🍓🍓

Of course, we publish to our website and PeerTube. However, if you use the YouTube mobile app, it’d be a great help if you “hyped” our new videos after watching them.

YouTube is still the primary way we reach *new* video audiences, and any positive signs we can give the algorithm will help spread the word.

Always bummed when people don’t get my obscure Futurama references in casual conversations/posts 😆

We just had a chance to interview Carissa Véliz, author of Privacy is Power and associate professor at the Institute for Ethics in AI at the University of Oxford.

We talked about how predictive AI will make a 'meritocracy' impossible, how lifelike chat bots are designed to deceive you, and the importance of privacy in the digital age. Catch the episode on our YouTube channel or your favorite podcast app now!

Carissa Véliz is an associate professor at the Institute for Ethics in AI at the University of Oxford, a renowned author and speaker, a board member of the Proton Foundation, and a member of UNESCO's Women 4 Ethical AI.

Her new book Prophecy comes out April 21st and is now available for pre-order.

Prophecy is about how extensive use of predictive analytics is undermining our abilities to defy the odds, making systems unaccountable, and increasing risk in business and society while creating a false sense of security.
