Tonight at Columbia Jewish students led a full Shabbat service at the Gaza solidarity encampment. Minutes later Muslim students had their evening prayer service. All surrounded by love.

Please do let the world know: there are ways to live that aren’t being a paranoid bigot.

'Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.'

Honestly, the most frightening thing about the corpus of porn and nude photos of women is knowing that my own non-consensual 'revenge porn' and the videos of my sex trafficking are likely a part of this mishmash from hell.

Prosecutors in @edvanews filed a motion last night to *forever seal* documents used to justify seizing every dollar my family had in 2020, based on false allegations by Amazon & @jeffbezos.

A few ethics-related issues, among them:

- Consent: Likeness edited w/o consent
- Disclosure: People need to know

There is a clear, concerted, harassment campaign against the people fired by Google. Just see how trolls are trying to discredit her here by finding a tweet of hers talking about white fragility.

It says a lot about our society that there is such a big market for 'AI girlfriends'

Note how people aren't predicting a big market for 'AI boyfriends'

So LLaMa 3's carbon footprint is... huge? 🤯
They estimate it to be 2,290 tons of CO2eq, compared to 550t for training GPT-3 and 66t for training *all* of the BLOOM models (1B-176B) 🌬️
