    My essay in on the academic roots of Silicon Valley's moral failings, the right-wing spirit of modern computer science, and musings on algorithms under communism.

    What we need to do is hire a number-cruncher from the effective altruism movement to estimate the expected utility per effort of voting vs. organizing your coworkers vs. propaganda of the deed (etc.) so we can settle these leftist Twitter disputes once and for all.

    Actually, a few talks & workshops reached in these directions at FAT* 2020. What if this became the norm? But then notice the contradictions: Would this still be an academic conference? And would its content still consist of “fairness, accountability, and transparency”? 5/5

    What if by miracle, FAccT were transformed into a vehicle for grassroots change? Imagine papers developing technical & analytical tools for communities to wield; hands-on workshops on tech labor organizing, or how to sabotage repressive technologies. 4/

    FAccT is currently locked in the regime of liberalism, hoping to reform the algo-powered institutions that dominate society: private firms, gov agencies, etc. It’ll discover, as the privacy/security community did, that this road leads to assimilation, not emancipation. 3/

    If I may wax political for a moment, FAT* felt like a parliamentary party in flux, complete with institutional establishment, corporate funders, activist faction, even a few critical of the party-form. Unlike other CS conferences, FAT*/FAccT is aware of its own volatility. 2/

    After a great time meeting people at FAT*, I’m returning to San Francisco. Though I don’t share much of the field’s goals and premises, it’s obvious that individuals in the community care about creating positive change, whatever that means to each. 1/

    Breaking: A group of Instacart workers in Chicago just voted to unionize-- a historic first. This victory sends a powerful message to gig workers around the country who are fed up with working conditions.

    This is the only correct take: Abolish the police. In the meantime, any technology we build should be to help people resist the police, not to "improve" it. Huge difference.

    If I were giving a traditional algorithms talk at FAT*, my first slide would say “Look, none of this is going to change the world in the slightest, I just like studying well-formulated optimization problems for fun, okay?” It’d be more honest and we’d all have a good time.

    In the ever-expanding interface between computer science and social science, researchers on each side think their field is the theoretical one and the other is the dirty applied area.

    Contradictions abound at FAT*, but a basic one is that by and large, the algo fairness community isn’t a social agent capable of making its own desired changes. Execution is left to corporations & states (thus utterly toothless) or activist-organizers (who aren’t reading papers).

    At about 4pm, finally heard the word “capitalism” uttered for the first time in a talk

    In Barcelona for FAT* 2020, the conference where social scientists and woke computer scientists bash other computer scientists for taking a narrow technical view of algorithms, then proceed to present a narrow non-technical view of society.

    Having spent 4 maddening hours at the Spanish consulate, I emerge with renewed antipathy towards the state, borders, and the ceceo.

    As someone with no first car, dad's middle name, mom's maiden name, or various other American suburban niceties, I approve of this analysis of CAPTCHA (and more).

    We'd better hope the proletariat self-abolishes before this. I'm not really trying to have conversations like, "So how do you feel about the oxygen-wage cuts they announced last week?"
