      What can you do? Consider unionizing. Use your collective voice. Insist on your freedom of speech. Be a ML scientist for responsibility. Build alternatives that don’t make us so vulnerable. Let’s not take the easy way out. - @zeynep at #ICLR2019. 👏 👏 👏

      This is the optimist part, and I mean it. There really are alternative paths. They just aren't being done because why bother when there is no friction to the surveillance path.https://twitter.com/libbykinsey/status/1126221974424956929 …

      zeynep tufekci Retweeted Ari Benjamin

      The reality is that it's not really brave for me to call for this or for the (still mostly quite privileged) tech workforce to choose this future. That's what makes it especially tragic not to try to build the alternatives and refuse the unethical paths.https://twitter.com/arisbenjamin/status/1126227191245746176 …

      zeynep tufekci added,

      Ari Benjamin @arisbenjamin
      Really brave talk by @zeynep just now at #ICLR2019. She's asking tech to not radicalize society with ML recommenders, to not monetize surveillance, and to not ignore potential consequences of new tech. How, as workers? Unionize, she asks, or demand change upon hiring

      As I told the #ICLR2019 crowd, please ask for help from Facebook's cafetaria workers who did unionize. Unions provide labor protections & provide an independent voice. But also need independent orgs: Where is the "ML Researchers for Social Responsibility"?https://twitter.com/MimeeXu/status/1126220420171141120 …

      Ah, so. Someone at #ICLR2019 is welcome to the PD+USB-A black charger I forgot by the stage. 😬 NYC-folk, where can I buy a USB-C (power delivery) charger near Amsterdam and 79th or Columbia University? Open early is a plus. 😬😬

          🤞I compulsively charge so probably okay for tonight but ugh. Too much travel in a tough week so I hope the charger is the only casualty.

          There's the Apple store at 67th and Broadway, and the one at 59th and 5th is a 24-hour store… There's a Best Buy at 67th and Broadway. The University bookstore, at 114th, opens at 9am; it might have what you need. Also try University Hardware at 113rd.
