Another take away from our launch. Peter Vesborg warns against simplifications that prevents us from appreciating necessary tradeoffs.

What is our room for maneuver when we develop technology? Do we have agency? First key take away from our launch event yesterday with @adler-nissen.bsky.social from the National Center for AI in Society (CAISA).

Thanks to everyone who came by and made the day very special 🙏

Stay tuned for more 📻

Is the pandemic now? What will disease control look like? Can there be a vaccine? Who will monitor the side effects? And what about herd immunity... So many metaphorical questions to play with. Congrats @adler-nissen.bsky.social @stinelomborg.bsky.social @sunelehmann.com @serge.belongie.com et al!
