Am Abend vor der Wahl dreht der Protofaschist und Antidemokrat #Merz vollkommen durch und beleidigt alle linken, sie hätten nicht mehr alle Tassen IM SCHRANK. 😳😳 Das ist unfassbar und eine skandalöse Entgleisung. Das ist Trumpismus, dem zeigen wir es jetzt richtig, auf die Barrikaden! ✊🏼 #FCKMRZ

Today is publication day for the new book - Critical Data Studies. But since my copies are stuck in Holyhead parcel pileup & open access version not yet available on publisher website I'm saving marketing stuff to new year. As a launch day it's a bit of an anti-climax! But it's no longer 'in press'

Earlier this month NZ’s “center-right coalition gov’t said it would divert half of the NZ$75 million Marsden Fund, the nation’s sole funding source for fundamental science, to ‘research with economic benefits.’ Moreover, the fund would no longer support any social sciences and humanities research” 😢

@mereln.bsky.social and I are hiring a PhD! tiu.nu/22585. Come work with us at TILT on reconfiguring AI governance to be more public-facing, more responsive and more reflective of lived experiences.

To what extent can public datasets address questions related to urgent issues? We're exploring this with "datatesting" a new @digitalgoodnet.bsky.social project with @databarometer.bsky.social @silvanavf.bsky.social @esimperl.bsky.social @odihq.bsky.social & more! jonathangray.org/2024/11/05/d...

Hi, so I've spent the past almost-decade studying research uses of public social media data, like e.g. ML researchers using content from Twitter, Reddit, and Mastodon. Anyway, buckle up this is about to be a VERY long thread with lots of thoughts and links to papers. 🧵

Re-sharing this to tag Critical Data/AI colleagues who I’d love to see do their own regional starter packs. @ubisurv.net already made one, @spdesouza.bsky.social @azadehakbari.bsky.social @derechosdigitales.bsky.social @fleurjohns.bsky.social? go.bsky.app/Gi8YKJ1

Not sure anyone can handle even more horrible AI in academia but as a T&F journal editor I am appalled to inform you of "Paperpal", allegedly "Trained on millions of published scholarly articles." 1/2 paperpal.com/blog/news-up...

"92 million low-income people in the U.S. states—everyone whose income is less than 200 percent of the federal poverty line—have some basic aspect of their lives decided by AI" www.techtonicjustice.org/reports/ines... this is a damning report
