Can’t believe it, but Silicon Valley Imperialism is a real book! There are tons of people to thank for helping make it happen, including Alex Horghidan for the brilliant cover art, and so many others. Extra thanks to @lizault for guiding the entire process dukeupress.edu/silicon-valle…

We regret to inform you that Twitter is losing its bird. But don’t worry. It will still be a cage.

I made a new zine all about how ICT climate politics look productively different if we focus less on green consumer behaviours and more on opposing infrastructure expansions. It's quite fun, and written with a non-academic audience in mind! emmlab.info/Resources_page/D…
A zine cover with text overtop of a dark blue photo of a data center, shot from the air. The text reads: Getting Into Fights With Data Centres: Or, A Modest Proposal for Reframing the Climate Politics of ICT. Additionally: How to use ping and traceroute to find the location of data centers, and how to look for DRAMA, CONFLICT, and OPPORTUNITIES TO ORGANIZE WITH OTHERS wherever you find them.

We talk a lot about how AI is biased but don’t often get to really see it in a meaningful way. This in-depth piece from @dinabass and @Leonardonclt is a fantastic way in to the ways in which generative AI (in this case @StabilityAI Stable Diffusion) is biased). Check it out!

🚨Generative AI has a serious problem with bias🚨 Over months of reporting, @dinabass and I looked at thousands of images from @StableDiffusion and found that text-to-image AI takes gender and racial stereotypes to extremes worse than in the real world. 🧵 1/13

I'm not arguing w the fact that AI poses risks. I AM ceaselessly annoyed by the pattern This is not new or novel. It was women - @timnitGebru @mmitchell_ai, me, et al - who rang the AI alarm years ago & were retaliated against, pushed out for doing so. nytimes.com/2023/05/01/techn…

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. Don't do this - human rights defenders already have images and videos undermined - don't contribute to it by utilizing AI-generated imagery in this way. Yes, there will be ways to use AI-generated imagery for advocacy - this is not it.

The one useful thing we learned was how Twitter defines engagement. But that wasn't actually part of the source and was published separately! This type of transparency about how algorithms are configured should be considered essential, and doesn't require release of source code.
Type of engagement Weight Probability the user will Like the tweet 0.5 Probability the user will retweet the tweet 1.0 Probability the user replies to the tweet 13.5 Probability the user opens the tweet author profile and Likes or replies to a tweet 12.0 Probability (for a video tweet) that the user will watch at least half of the video 0.005 Probability the user replies to the tweet and this reply is engaged by the tweet author 75.0 Probability the user will click into the conversation of this tweet and reply or Like a tweet 11.0 Probability the user will click into the conversation and stay there for at least 2 minutes 10.0 Probability the user will react negatively (requesting “show less often” on the tweet or author, block or mute the tweet author) -74.0 Probability the user will click report tweet -369.0
