Apologies if you get follows again from me, I'm going to try moving to the nerdy hachyderm server.

6 (!) years ago, @timnitGebru put forward a profound idea for AI research: document your training data. To say she was treated like shit would be putting it lightly. If she had been respected like her male peers were, imagine what a different path AI could have taken.

@malwaretech would you consider discussing the JP Morgan & Chase WADU software on your podcast? I'd be interested to hear your take on it, particularly if you can get a sandboxed copy running.

Boris #Johnson's new lawyers set to cost taxpayers more than £1 million

This nonsense should be stopped now. He should pay from the £5million he’s earned since failing as PM. The man is a fraudster and a disgrace. The best place for him is in prison.

Boris Johnson's new lawyers set to cost taxpayers more than £1 million

Labour said it was “outrageous” that hard-working taxpayers will continue to pay Mr Johnson’s legal bills, as he “rakes in millions from globe-trotting speaking gigs”.

DO NOT BUY HP PRINTERS!

I don't believe I've ever seen a more #dastardly #plan from a #hardware #manufacturer.

If you buy an #HP #printer and sign up for the optional HP Plus #service, you'll get a #firmware #update that will FORCE you to #purchase *only* new HP #ink cartridges — for the life of your printer. And once that firmware update happens, there is *no way* to undo it.

DO NOT BUY HP PRINTERS!

HP has found an exciting new way to DRM your printer!

HP’s latest inkjet scheme is hiding in plain sight. If you accept the free ink, HP will own your printer for life.

Ugh! Just read a sentence starting with "I'm upskilling on the new...". What an abomination of a word!

I'm so old fashioned, I still learn stuff and read. Maybe I should upgrade my cognitive abilities by 'upskilling'.

Nah, I'm good.

If only governments were as keen to get their fingers out their arses and tax carbon as they are to waffle about regulating existential AI risk which is so far hypothetical, as opposed to the concrete business of setting the bloody world on fire which is proceeding apace before our horrified eyes.

View from the front of the house. Coming from a council estate I really appreciate this and would love more people to be able to have this level of connection with nature.

I don't mean they should get lucky enough to be able to be in hock to the bank like I am. I think this should be the default and everyone should have this option.

I'm an old hippy and have been sipping the gin, forgive me.

Been getting a lot of #scam calls on my mobile lately pretending to be #O2 support and saying they'll be sending me a number to read to them.

Really looks like there has been an unacknowledged breach somewhere and these people are trying to steal my number to get access to whatever account they have.

If I find out the breached company knew about this and did not alert customers, I'm going after them.
