Meredith Whittaker is on point, as always!

For #4, I'd add complete accounting of environmental costs (carbon, water, rare earth mining) for all @openai projects, including both research, training & deployed use.

Y'all wanna call yourselves 'open'? Earn it.

'Coding in whiteface was the last thing I expected to do when I came to MIT, but — for better or for worse — I had encountered what I now call the “coded gaze.'' - Dr. Joy Buolamwini (Dr. Joy Buolamwini) via The Boston Globe

Citation and referencing is cultural and each discipline has its own culture around this and its own language. Someone writing for fellow experts in a field might reasonably expect that everyone reading understands the reference a phrase is making.

me & my collaborators have done the most extensive research of the LAION datasets (3 academic papers & the first to investigate dataset in 2021 showing misogyny, pornography, & malignant stereotypes)

yet, the Stanford study has not cited us once. this is academic misconduct

the asymmetries of resource allocation (not to mention how critical data work is undervalued) is massive for data audit work compared to building a dataset. we couldn't run all the studies we wanted for our latest LAION audit because we simply didn't have enough compute
