I made this meme of my dog to encourage myself whenever I begin to feel like I bit off more than I can chew. It should be noted she eventually broke it in half. #persistence

Yes, ChatGPT is amazing and impressive. No, @OpenAI has not come close to addressing the problem of bias. Filters appear to be bypassed with simple tricks, and superficially masked. And what is lurking inside is egregious. @Abebab @sama tw racism, sexism.

Challenging AI art by giving it abstract prompts. "Access to Justice for the historically excluded" DALL·E made me law firm stock photos. Stable Diffusion gave me a political cartoon (?) and article spreads. 🤔

If this isn't in your radar, it should be. Tagging @GeorgeTakei in hopes to get it in his radar, too.

Gonna start a conference called #NormIPS that’s just presentations of middlebrow ML topics. “how to structure Python packages 2022”, “how many k-folds is too many”, “how to make the browser pop-up come up when the notebook is done running”, “putting features in Postgres”, etc.

Not it effing can't. This headline is breathtakingly irresponsible. h/t @hypervisible bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

My first article has been published with #aall #aallspectrum. I am so happy I was able to do this just shy of one year into my career. Please clap.

@DrakeAlyson All the happy thoughts.

Needing all the good vibes today for a call about a potential project I'm *really* excited about. Please send happy thoughts towards Manhattan.

Finished yearly info sec training today. Also, today, FB add for animated info sec training I'd "want to watch. SO. . . yeah.

I once had a corp speaking oppy. The organizer asked my fee & I told her. She paused. Your fee should be at least $10k. Another speaker is getting $$$. Now what’s your fee? I raised my fee. That is how we help other women level up. Don’t contribute to exploitation culture.

@inspiredcat @innovatelawnow @vanderbiltlaw Multiple comparisons problem and spurious correlations in big data analysis: towardsdatascience.com/the-multiple-c…

Data in Law Practice is my newest @innovatelawnow course @vanderbiltlaw! As we can fit only so much into 13 weeks, I'm busy winnowing down the (too) long list of topics. Curious what #lawtwitter thinks is *mission critical* for new lawyers to know about data.❓ Context👇

Statement of Purpose 1st Draft: Sells the potential research but not me as the person researching it. Current draft: "We need to burn it all down, and I am walking flame."

@theFordon I got diagnosed as an adult, too (like 3 years ago now). Really does change SO much. Funny enough, I apparently am a small contingent that have all the normally male presentations of ADHD and was STILL not diagnosed until later, much to the shock of my then therapist.
