Here is a link to the location of Elon's jet. It's all public information. But you can't post this link on Twitter. Because Elon doesn't want you to.

It's pretty clear from the criminal charges filed yesterday that SBF (allegedly) misused customer funds to pay celebs to give FTX the patina of legitimacy.

Since this money was essentially stolen, shouldn't the celebs return it?

Looks like @schock book was shouting at me from across the bookstore.

In a survey, the same share of men and women (11%) asked for a raise as a response to inflation but men were more likely than women to receive a raise (59% vs 52%). And the women earned less to begin with: 1/2 made <$50K vs 1/3 of men.

Sen. ChuckSchumer can put the PRESS Act in the Senate’s end of year package and be remembered as someone who cared about press freedom at a time when it's so massively under attack.

US residents need to contact their senators, pronto. This bill has already been passed in the House.

It may be the last chance for the foreseeable future to get this done.

I'm excited the Center for Open Science's free virtual Unconference on Open Scholarship Practices in Education Research is back, March 9-10, 2023. This is a great conference for folks who want to connect with others in education research and anyone who teaches open science.

If you're interested in participating, they're accepting submissions for unconference sessions, lightning talks, and workshops until January 13, 2023. https://www.cos.io/unconference

The #Fediverse and #Mastodon are experiencing some recent growing pains. There is a risk that developments could lead to the network fracturing into walled gardens of individual communities that are isolated from each other. There are also people who want to assert centralized control over the network. These dangers are described and a bold solution is proposed here:

As we watch Elon Musk slide into rightwing radicalization in real time, I’m reminded of this 1941 piece by Dorothy Thompson.
“Who goes Nazi?”

In short: it is the people who love money and status and power that are at risk.
Those who resist the urge are the people who have a solid family life; a job they love for the work, not the money; a moral framework based on pluralism and equal access to opportunity.
Worth a read. #nazi #Twitter #liberal

AI's aren't sentient. They can't "steal."

Programmers and institutions select the data with which to train the model. They take art and writing from artists and authors without credit or payment. The software then remixes and mimics what it is given.

Displacing agency by attributing intent to the AI is exactly how people and institutions erase human action in the creation of technology. It also leads to further perceptions of technology as acultural, unbiased, and, in essence, magical.
