There's quite a lot of climate-change journalism that seems to be less about working to solve the problems and more about agitating against capitalism

i'm not sure where this idea arises, that parents doing things for their children is the root of all social evil. it's a bit ridiculous on its face, since it's a prime way to improve the lot of the next generation

The current approach leaves it frustratingly judgmental and prone to lecturing the user about ethics from a very particular point of view (yes, I am aware the system has no conscious intention, but the abstractions work from the user's point of view). In that regard they are simulating a type of person quite well.

I think I prefer the Emily Bender approach of asserting that no one should be allowed to train deep learning models at all. If you're going to claim some sort of authority over a technology you don't actually develop then you might as well go hard.

I'm with you Tim, I've tried yelling "THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR YOU TO NOT BE IN TECH" at every woman I've encountered for the last ten years but they just aren't joining the ranks

possibly better to keep quiet about high-minded principles one doesn't actually hold
