Hi academic tech ethics Twitter! Do you have a suggestion for readings around the "ethics is maybe not even the right word and we should be talking about concepts like justice etc. instead" point?
also I would like to point to this thread re: the usefulness of twitter and opportunity costs to choosing to not be on social media, etc. etc.
This was a quick question thrown at Twitter to help me find things I thought I'd seen before, so I could cite for a few sentences I'm writing in a paper today. Instead the thread has turned into a dissertation, and this is wonderful, I hope others find it useful. :)
I just pointed my whole lab to this thread and was like, here's your reading list, go forth.

Like I'm pretty sure I could write a prelim exam question entirely based on this twitter thread.

I recently dreamed that one of my colleagues was wrongfully accused of murder, and because of the trial, could not teach their fall class. I feel like an "oh god I have to solve a murder so I don't have to teach an extra class" anxiety dream is like next level #academiclife.
in the past half hour this tweet has gone from wtf anxiety dream to "when will I have time to write this spec script and also who will play me in the HBO series"
S1 opens in mid-summer when a tenured computer science prof is found in his lab surrounded by simple robots testing conversational agents, busily chatting about top-voted reddit posts while he dies from blunt force trauma. The murder weapon is a dusty teaching award.

In new research that guesses someone's appearance from their voice, the data comes from YouTube videos. @jane_c_hu at @Slate talked to me about the ethics & legality of researchers mining public content. This particular case has some interesting nuances... slate.com/technology/201…
The dataset used came from a *different* project, a " large-scale audio-visual dataset comprising speech video clips with no interfering background noises." There are no details about the data collection beyond that the videos were public. looking-to-listen.github.io/avspeech/
One critical thing to consider in ethical decisions about collecting public data is the purpose of the research--what you're going to use the data for. But what if you release a dataset publicly in the spirit of open science? Should you think about how others might use it?

Today in no-this-is-real-not-actually-a-dystopian-fiction: "A new policy proposal by the Trump administration calls for the surveillance of disabled people’s social media profiles to determine the necessity of their disability benefits." [THREAD] forbes.com/sites/imanibar…
There are so many unsettling things about this that it's hard to know where to start. Maybe with the basic premise that people with disabilities deserve to be SURVEILLED to make sure they're disabled enough. Not having too much fun, I guess.
Also, who is making decisions about what people with disabilities should be able or not able to do? Are we checking to see if they're too happy? Not suffering enough? Because, as we all know, we're all totally honest about our lives on social media.

Stress, anxiety and depression are not uncommon in a lawyer’s life. According to a survey conducted in the USA by John Hopkins University in the 1990s, lawyers are 3.6 times more prone to depression than other people.

#stressed #Anxiety #depression #Lawyers #law #lawsikho
India is the country with maximum depression in the world according to recent reports. I know a few things about that.
I have been working as a lawyer since 2012 and have been fighting depression for quite some years now.
My lived experience tells me that depression is not uncommon in the legal sector of India. When I talk about it, people around me opens up and confides in me about their troubles. After all, being a lawyer is a demanding job.

Sometime back @ShreyaTrivediMD crowdsourced Ref Managers here:
Then more recently she asked #Academic Twitter with updates wherein I heard that some of us are entering citations manually. This blew my mind. So I took the challenge posed by @VirenKaul and will do my 1st #Tweetorial on reference managers.
First…a poll. How do you manage/enter your references?

✨ books read in 2019: a thread✨
1. Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. Quite enjoyable, especially part 4 (the scientific revolution) and articulate. I like books that opt for breadth when covering history.

Also, the book is FINE as a vessel of knowledge I guess, but sooo many people treat it like gospel lol.
2. Exit West by Mohsin Hamid. This one took a while to get used to because of the writing style, but it was SO worth it. Definitely enjoyed the second half more than the first and liked how plot surprised me in the end.

Might have to do a thread on the WSJ editorial page views on monetary policy through the years
April 2008 wsj.com/articles/SB120…
"As the Fed's open-market committee meets this week, what the world wants is a revival of American monetary leadership. It wants the Bernanke Fed to stop the global run on the dollar, and that means declaring an end to its rate-cutting mistake."
June 2008 wsj.com/articles/SB121…
"The Fed's dollar indifference has sent an inflation shock through those dollar-linked economies...The result has been the largest decline in America's global economic influence since the 1970s."

This is my commentary on #twitter #movements. Before I go I want to preface this with a statement: I love humans. We're amazing creative & powerful beings. I'm fascinated by human behaviour and the hidden motivations underlying our basic need to belong. 1/
I've observed some movements taking off on Twitter. Some for #MedEd, raising awareness, knowledge sharing, inspiration and sharing failings, wounds & triumphs. Generally they support creative expression in 280 characters. Awesome! 2/
As these movements gain momentum, more people want to join in b/c #belonging. I'm seeing a disturbing trend of sharing experiences of patients/clients to promote how deep & human they are. Some are purely intended, some not. 3/
