Yesterday, my wife and I laid to rest our cat son, Darth. Our hearts are hurting. We will always miss and love him.
Two years ago, he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in his front leg. We had his limb removed, and he thrived as a hopping tripod. A year later, in his annual chest x-ray, we were shocked to learn his cancer had metastasized and that he had 4-6 weeks. We vowed to make every day he had left as peaceful and loving as possible.
Out of sheer force of will and love, Darth fought his very aggressive cancer without medical intervention to give his family a whole extra year with him. His illness won't define him. His mom and I will always remember him for his incredible sweetness, his hilarious hiding abilities while reappearing only for his favorite humans, and his love for his yellow catnip bananas, grandma's lettuce, high places, cheek massages, and for always being nearby.
We are grateful to be his parents.

You may have heard that AI is biased because the data it’s trained on is biased.
That’s really just the tip of the iceberg.
The fairness crisis goes much deeper than that. 🧵 1/8

Loved chatting with the deeply thoughtful @SigalSamuel!! and ofc bestie @cbd
It's hard to encompass a complex field in a few words, which is why we must keep asking: for whom is this safe? For *whom* is this fair?
And with so much power in tech, silence can truly be violence
