1/ Many industries are increasingly leaning on algorithms to make decisions they say will be more efficient and impartial. But algorithms often end up reflecting human biases.

Some experts think it’s time for an algorithmic bill of rights to protect us from the risks AI poses.
2/ So @SigalSamuel asked 10 experts what an algorithmic bill of rights might look like:

First: Transparency
3/ Explainability

1/ A revealing passage in the redacted #MuellerReport states pretty unequivocally that Trump certainly tried to influence the investigation — multiple times, in fact.

But his efforts failed because people around him refused to follow his orders. vox.com/2019/4/18/1848…
2/ Trump asked then-FBI director James Comey to “see his way to” letting former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn off the hook from criminal investigation, but Comey didn’t do it.
3/ Trump told then-White House Counsel Don McGahn to call Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein (then serving as acting AG over the Russia investigation) to remove Mueller from his appointment as Special Counsel, but McGahn didn’t do it.

In the aftermath of the #Gilroy garlic festival shooting, we tracked the various themes and narratives as they spread and morphed on Twitter. As is often the case, people rushing to post mis- and disinformation was not helpful.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
@ZellaQuixote Despite lack of information, people tweeted a variety of claims as events unfolded. Some examples:

- shooter's age (20s? 30s?)
- shooter was a Trump supporter
- shooting was racially motivated
- two shooters
- distraction from something more nefarious (#FalseFlag)
@ZellaQuixote The discovery of the shooter's apparent Instagram page fueled further speculation. References to "Might is Right" (which does promote Anglo-Saxon supremacy) was used to support claims of a white supremacist motive, while an Iranian flag was presented as evidence to the contrary.

It should not be legal to buy a weapon of war that can shoot 15 people in under a minute.
It wasn't legal to buy such a weapon in California where the #GilroyShooting took place.

Men under the age of 25 do not have a fully developed prefrontal cortex.
Their judgment and impulse control are severely restricted.
Maybe men under 25 should not be able to buy weapons, since they are half of #massshooters in the U.S.
mentalhealthdaily.com/2015/02/18/at-…
A 19 year old like Legan without a fully developed prefrontal cortex should not be able to go to a different state and buy a weapon of war.
Period.

Gilroy shooter identified as Santino William Legan. A fascist, white supremacist, making the Gilroy attack a terrorist event.

Posted "Read 'Might Is Right' by Ragnar Redbeard," a misogynist, white power, pro racial eugenics previous to attack. manifesto edition.cnn.com/2019/07/29/us/…
At least 4 people were killed, including a 6-year-old first grader, and 15 others were injured during the fascist white supremacist terrorist attack at Gilroy. #GilroyGarlicFestival
It is important the motives of these terrorist attacks are known so we as a society can formulate a plan to prevent them; outside of obvious firearm reform, fascism and racism are part of an extremist population that will circumvent existing laws to commit attrocities. #Gilroy

Six-year-old Steven Romero identified as one of the 3 people killed in the #Gilroy mass shooting tonight, a dozen more were injured, status ranges from fair to critical. #GilroyGarlicFestival nbcbay.com/8rQGQDV
Steven Romero's mother and other family members were also injured in the #Gilroy shooting; due to the economically inhumane US medical system, they now face thousands upon thousands in fees for medical and funeral costs on top of their grief and trauma. #GilroyGarlicFestival
If you live in the #Gilroy area (or not), seek out information on how to assist this family & others. Often forgotten during the conversations surrounding these events is how victims are often driven into debt due to medical and funeral costs. Try to help.

OMG >> MASS SHOOTING AT #GILROY GARLIC FESTIVAL. POLICE SAY THE SCENE IS ACTIVE. Prelim reports - white male gunman.

Gilroy is south of San Francisco. Mostly a working class area, in the heart of California farm country. Lots of immigrants and families in attendance, no doubt.💔
3 dead. If #GilroyGarlicFestivalShooting turns out to be another Nazi attack, what then? Demagogue POTUS just keeps doing fascist rallies? Continues his racist attacks? Repubs keep denying reality?

Trump’s opened a Pandora’s box of hate. If he was once, he’s no longer legitimate
#GilroyGarlicFestivalShooting UPDATE: 4 Fatalities, including 1 suspect, shot by #Gilroy police. Chief says shooter had a rifle and broke into the festival by cutting thru a fence. Police now following leads about another suspect, whose involvement is still unknown. 15 injured.
