I am on Intagram instagram.com/correrevidaPHX

I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place. I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

We are becoming extremely anti-social - working from home - watching videos alone - staying single - ordering meals for 1. Absolutely fantastic article by @DKThomp @TheAtlantic One addition: it’s not just the US; much of the world is becoming anti-social 🌏

Sadly, we still default to granting more respect to men than women. 8 studies: we're >2x as likely to call male politicians, athletes, teachers, and authors by their last names. It matters: surnames signal higher status. It's long past time to use consistent standards.

Me, right now.

📣New! Despite its increasing adoption in AI governance and industry circles, the term “sociotechnical” is widely misunderstood. Our new brief aims to remedy that, explaining what a sociotechnical perspective is and why it’s so important in policy. 1/6 datasociety.net/library/a-soci…

Why did OpenAI use Scarlett Johansson's voice? As Jessa Lingel & I discuss in our journal article on AI agents, there's a long history of using white women's voices to “personalize” a technology to make it feel safe and non-threatening while it is capturing maximum data. 🧵

@raulpacheco I have this Q on my participant recruitment form for my dissertation. My advisor really appreciated, let’s see what the IRB says now. Citations are bricks, on the words of @SaraNAhmed and I think that also applies to the minds that give us data: the subjects.

Fellow ethnographers and interview-based scholars: We normally aim for anonymity except when explicitly approved, right? What if someone wants to be clearly identified, but *we* feel it’s a risk to them? Any citations on what to do, ethically?

One of the clearest signs of learning is rethinking your assumptions and revising your opinions. 21 things I rethought in 2021: a thread...

Why are cities dominated by highways and cars? It's partly because of one of the most influential people you've never heard of: Norman Bel Geddes. In 1939 he created "Futurama", a huge exhibition that tried to predict the future — and ended up changing the world...

The New Space Race Is Causing New Pollution Problems nytimes.com/2024/01/09/sci… by @ShannonWHall "Satellites could eventually total one million, requiring an even greater number of space launches that could yield escalating levels of emissions."

El NYT publica un artículo sobre las 12 figuras clave en la IA y, oh chorprecha: 12 señores. Así que mejor os dejo con 12 mujeres clave en este ámbito: @AnimaAnandkumar, @jovialjoy, @YejinChoinka, @DaphneKoller, @decisionleader, @drfeifei, @miramurati... medium.com/womenintechnol…

A new study has found that the use of AI tools in the workplace entrenches biased language based on gender. In recommendation letters for hypothetical employees, LLMs applied words like "expert" and "integrity" to men, and "beauty" and "delight" to women. scientificamerican.com/article/chatgp…

@Dana_Corres reportar inmediatemente la perdida de la visa **estadounidense** a las autoridades de EUA

Duda, si una perdió su visa americana, ¿Qué procede?

@invextarjetas @viajaVolaris @INVEXBanco perfecto, prefiero cerrar ya el asunto con ustedes directamente.

Si la llamada es para negociar podemos evitarlo, no quiero esa TC aunque me regalen la anualidad de por vida
