Tonight: J. Khadijah Abdurahman on Timnit Gebru's firing and "the moral collapse" of AI ethics
Links:
• On the Moral Collapse of AI Ethics, by Khadijah (Dec 7, 2020)
• Khadijah on Twitter: @upfromthecracks
• We Be Imagining, made possible by Columbia's The American Assembly and the INCITE project
• We Be Imagining podcast, hosted by Khadijah
• We read the paper that forced Timnit Gebru out of Google. Here's what it says (by Karen Hao in Technology Review, Dec 4, 2020)
• Wikipedia on Dr. Timnit Gebru: "Gebru co-authored a paper on the risks of very large language models, regarding their environmental and financial costs, inscrutability leading to unknown dangerous biases, inability of the models to understand the concepts underlying what they learn, and the potential for using them to deceive people."
• Interview with Khadijah on Our Data Bodies (May 2020): "The biggest blind spot in the conversation about algorithms and automated decision making is that often the algorithms are compared to human decision making."
• U.S. and States Say Facebook Illegally Crushed Competition (NYT, Dec 9). See also Matt Stoller, in The End of the Facebook Crime Spree (Dec 9): "What Mark Zuckerberg did at Facebook is engage in systemic criminal behavior, and he was able to do so because law enforcers refused to enforce the law against the powerful. That era is over." (Here's my own comment.)

Listener comments!
Anyway, Khadijah seems awesome.
@Ike: Regardless, the criticism of Kendi's book is good.
@Ike: I disagree w/ Buckley 100%, but at least he can defend his beliefs w/ erudite debates. I miss when that was possible.
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish caravan
Yes, I know you can
The EU also is attempting the same.
Amazing news
Trigger warning: Glenn Greenwald is the interviewer. I think he's top-notch, but so many people, for reasons I can't entirely fathom, don't like him.
BREAK THEM UP!!!
Allright! Ken the King Snake!
Be well, Techyon Drives. Keep reaching for the stars!
I read that Carmichael!
Thanks Mark!
Also: I am not one of these hamsters.
