    The pushback we’ve seen this yr against the vast infrastructure of AI (from algorithms to corporations) has been astounding. I mapped these events around key themes we identified through this process, and used trend data to visualize where these conversations might be happening.

    All of these use cases of ML to contain the coronavirus outbreak are good. But don't let this distract you from the fact that these epidemics don't have the market incentives for R&D when poor communities are hit first. This is a health justice issue.

    Friends, I don’t know at all what today’s issue is about yet, my commment is completely general. I for one don’t want to end up like my elderly or late mentors who experience(d) life long *pain* from the ruptures in the movement in the 60s and 70s. Do you?

    Of the most beloved and most impactful activists/organizers that I know in my life - one trait they all seem to share is an ability to build up champions for the cause no matter who they are or where they’re from. A deep affinity to lead from behind - always lifting others up.

    Rep. Norma Smith, the leading *Republican* on the House Tech. Cmte, read the ’s 2019 recommendations into the record & is sponsoring bills to put them into practice. Algorithmic justice can transcend political divides. But big tech wants to stop that.

    Debates at about re-orienting data analysis towards confronting power, remind me of a story my dad (way cooler than me) recently told me. In the 70s, he was part of a 'Socialist Information Service' which was a sort of intelligence agency for trade union activism (1/3)

    I'm gonna take this keynote at to note and I have been working on a project exploring distributional vs. relational notions of equality in algorithmic fairness, and their connections to the longer history of these debates in political theory...1/2

    One of the coolest talks I’ve seen yet at : viewing GANs through the lens of social theory. Bourdieu’s concept of “habitus” is strikingly similar to the way GANs are framed

    NEW: We just published a report that traces the *astonishingly* bad history of Allergan, how it shows the pharmaceutical industry is broken, and what the government can do about it. I'll tweet out throughout the day.

    I’ll speak for myself, but it is really helping me to be able to watch some basketball tonight.

    Kobe was so much of my childhood, and so much of my work ethic to this day. I’m so genuinely heartbroken for the Bryant family and the basketball community. I still can’t believe this is real.

    Some HIV+ patients in India are stopping medical treatment now that it is being linked to government biometric ID. Many fear being outed as LGBTQ or sex workers. This is such a depressing example of how surveillance disproportionately harms already marginalized groups.

    Epic takedown of aspirational "easy to fix" research: "Major problems like poverty can’t be overcome with a couple of workshops in a school or a doctor’s visit....We can’t allow our desire to make things better lead us to accept lower-quality research..."
