So glad to see the @Sfchron's feature on my book Predatory Data. If you want to read more on how Big Tech's obsession with surveilling experimenting on populations has a precedent in eugenics, the book is out with @UCPress next week. datebook.sfchronicle.com/boo…
So glad to have Predatory Data featured in this @sfchronicle feature. Big Tech's obsession w/ surveilling experimenting on populations, esp minorities, for political financial profit has a precedent w/ eugenics. Predatory Data - out next wk w/ @ucpress - is my book on this.
The author examines how today’s Big Tech relies on data that exploits women, immigrants and other marginalized groups in perpetuating inequalities. trib.al/MXQWeLb

This letter fr OpenAI whistleblowers should be required reading for all students. & news that OpenAI is removing its non-profit board's oversight is just the latest sign that it's abandoning its founding promise to prioritize public safety over profit. documentcloud.org/documents/…
