Google is pleased to announce its new Responsible AI Development council, containing....the CEO of a drone company and the President of the fucking HERITAGE FOUNDATION blog.google/technology/ai/…
"....providing diverse perspectives to inform our work" yes one person thinks the government should have murder drones and another thinks everyone should in order to protect against FEMA
Hey @Google exactly what do you hope to get out of a responsibility advisor who hates trans people, foreigners, and the environment, just wondering
To the academics serving on this committee, with this person: what message, precisely, do you think you're communicating to trans&/international colleagues or students? What are you saying you're okay with?

Big horror news: NIST has been using child pornography, immigration records and the photographs of dead arrestees to train facial recognition. Op-ed by @drnikki , @profwernimont and myself slate.com/technology/201…
I'm going to put up a piece later tonight on maybe my blog on the human experience of processing and dealing with this kind of work, because it's a lot. People screaming. People crying. Consumed by a machine, without their consent, to hunt down people who look like them. Just....
These datasets are of course massively racially biased; African-American people make up 12.8% of the US population but, thanks to the racism of the carceral "justice" system, almost 50% of the dead arrestee database. The immigrant photos were originally _specifically_ Mexican.

Okay fine it is time for: ~THE STORY OF THE EXPLODING POPE~

(CW for gore, medical malpractice, gore, and gore)

(sorry new followers, if I come off as v.v.unprofessional today, it's because I am)
This is Pius XII, pope from 1939 to 1958. He's the one who appeaed the Nazis, which is obviously the attribute that most people focus on. But he had two other noteworthy attributes:

1. He was obsessed with his own body
2. He was perhaps UNIQUELY BAD at picking doctors
During his life, these attributes resulted in him ending up looking for life extension treatments. He eventually settled on Paul Niehans, whose course of treatment consisted of taking cells from a sheep and injecting them....directly into the holy father's ass.

So, the past few weeks has seen a growing public awareness in the UK of how the far-right, especially the religious far-right, in the US likes to operate, and likes to use willing, if witless, pawns to do their bidding.

The name that's been making the headlines recently...

1/n
is The #Heritage #Foundation. But what, exactly, does The Heritage Foundation espouse? What is it's driving ideological foci?

And the answer to that, if you care one iota for women, or for LGBTQI+ people, is grim to say the least.

This is an organisation that states:

2/n
On SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Laws):

"SOGI laws are about forcing all Americans to embrace—and live out—certain beliefs about human sexuality. They are not about protecting the freedom of people to live as LGBT, but about coercing everyone else to...

This is the Council for National Policy organization - the group behind Trump/Pence, etc. - re Trump's first 100 days: U.S. border, cyber, & military policies starting with the US/Mex border (4:30)." soundcloud.com/cnp-786867471/…

The Council for National Policy (#CNP) is an umbrella organization & networking group for social conservative activists in the United States.The Nation has called it a secretive organization. It connects wealthy right-wing donors w/ top conservatives.

Here's what the #CNP has planned for education in the United States. With the Heritage Foundation's support, of course.

Compare this to what DeVos has done as Secretary of Education: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betsy_DeV…

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
