Excited to finally share that my job hunt is over!
In November I’ll be joining @ShannonVallor & the Centre for Technomoral Futures at the Edinburgh Futures Institute and Edinburgh Informatics as a Chancellor’s Fellow. 🎉🎉🎉
AND I will be recruiting a PhD student to join me!
I will start to build my lab, which will focus on topics on the ethics of machine learning, hate speech and privacy preservation:
In short, if ML and fundamental rights sound like your jam, reach out!
#HateSpeech promotes intolerance and incites violence. Christian @strippel, Sünje Paasch-Colberg, Martin Emmer & Joachim Trebbe published 26 texts on current issues in international hate speech research. #OpenAccess: https://t1p.de/ugxik

The state of California is about 40 million people, around 5% of whom are Black.
France is about 67 million people, 4% to 7% of whom are Black.
France is Blacker than California, and there are more Black people living in France than in California.
Some folks including the show's creator, say things like, "But Emily in Paris is escapist fantasy! We want it to be glamorous!" Which makes me wonder, "🤔What are you escaping from?" And "Black people can't be glamorous?"
The model isn't sentient & therefore can't "steal"
But the people/institutions that selected the data to train the model took it from artists whose livelihoods depend on being compensated for their work to create "AI" capable of mimicking said work w/o crediting or paying them.
This is your doom-scrolling wrapped!
You spent 42,277 minutes doom-scrolling, putting you in the top 5% of doom-scrollers!
Your top doom-scrolling topics were: US politics, climate news, & the pandemic.
Your favorite time to doom-scroll was when you should have been sleeping.
@dave @lewriley @Bam @thetitanborn If there's a police shooting and there is a video? I put a CW around that. I also put CWs around topics like disordered eating, etc.
But I experience racism almost every day, as do most Black US citizens. I'm not going to start every other sentence with "CW" just to make y'all feel better.
Hiding racism to protect white feelings is just more racism. I won't do it. I do respect folks' right to Block me for that. 👍🏿
Here it is!
