The Future of Life Institute is a problem. Being in same age-group (lower end maybe😃)/cultural background (8-bit programming📼⌨️) as these men, makes me feel uncomfortable and embarrassed for them. Here they (Musk, Hassabis, Tegmark, Bostrom etc.) are in 2017.

Statement from the listed authors of Stochastic Parrots on the “AI pause” letter dair-institute.org/blog/letter-st… "Regulatory efforts should focus on transparency, accountability and preventing exploitative labor practices." w/@timnitGebru (@dair-community.social/bsky.social) MMitchell and @mcmillan_majora

As I was privately babbling out my own diatribe on the FLI letter yesterday, I was honored to be pinged by @emilymbender.bsky.social and @timnitGebru (@dair-community.social/bsky.social) about joining forces to put out coherent thoughts. Excited to be able to share it today. dair-institute.org/blog/letter-st…

I feel privileged to have spent the past few days with this great group of bright, interesting, and fun Jacobs Foundation Research Fellows, talking about developmental & educational science at this gorgeous Dutch castle.

2+ years of hard (but enjoyable!) work & conversation across HRI / HCI / interaction design & gender studies went into this paper - we hope it makes feminist scholarship (and it’s relevance to HRI) a bit more accessible to HRI researchers/developers. Thrilled we got best paper 🎉

Now class, can anyone tell me why this might be a bad idea?
