Starting a new thread to collect critical perspectives on AI, as they are articulated dozens of times every day and appear repeatedly on my timeline. I can't read everything right away, but if, like me, you want to stay up to date, then this might help a bit:

ICE May Have Deported as Many as 70 US Citizens In the Last Five Years - American Immigration Council U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) keeps making an inexcusable error: it has been deporting U.S. citizens by mistake.

"available data shows that ICE arrested 674 potential U.S. citizens, detained 121, and deported 70 ... true number may be even higher....neither ICE nor U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) maintain good enough records to determine just how many people the agencies arrested or deported in error"

Anyway, @tabouchadi.bsky.social is great on all of this, and I wish political leaders and the liberal / Democratic consultant class would listen. Or at least acknowledge that what they are propagating as “common sense” or "without alternative" in fact goes against all empirical evidence we have.

A disaster that Starmer insists on ignoring the mountain of empirical evidence from across "Western" democracies that adopting rightwing positions and frameworks only ever helps the Right win legitimacy and votes.

An utter disaster that so many Democrats in the U.S. insist on doing Starmerism.

Pregnant women deserve so much better than Trump’s theatre of scaremongering and shame | Kate Womersley There is no credible evidence linking autism with maternal paracetamol use. But the US president’s ‘tough it out’ message could harm mothers and babies, says doctor Kate Womersley

“Many women … will now be burdened with unsubstantiated concerns about how their choices might endanger their pregnancy. Whatever they choose, there is a pathway for them to be blamed.”

I’m thankful the ever insightful @katewomersley.com has weighed in on this.

“High technology is often as socially regressive as it is technically revolutionary or progressive.”

Referencing the wonderful @histoftech.bsky.social, this critical piece on the uncritical adoption of AI in universities pulls no punches.

So helpful!

f you’ve ever wondered whether your project needs a theoretical, analytical or conceptual framework — the answer is: yes, but not in the same way. I show you how to tell them apart in my post.

Oh you must be right! Very useful still for my peace of mind, if not the cabinet ☺️

Next time I need to build a similar atrocity I’ll ask the Bluesky hivemind first - stellar work everybody 🙏

I certainly reached a point where I thought I might hear voices

You are an artist 🙌

Hahaha glad I’m not the only one - this thing made IKEA instructions look like a piece of cake

Sunday greetings. I’m in hell.

Vast ten overvloede, maar bij deze FYI @lizetkruyff.bsky.social

"40h pro Woche arbeiten. Das ist doch weniger als ein Viertel! Da geht doch mehr!"
Man hört das Argument von Wirtschaftstreibenden, jetzt auch vom deutschen Kanzler. Das Missverständnis dahinter: Viel arbeiten ist in erster Linie ein Privileg - das für viele einfach außer Reichweite liegt (Thread)

And you Anne! Though way too short, more next time indeed ❤️

Aw thanks 🙏

What a phenomenal conference. Fascinating papers and keynotes, lovely friends, excellent food and a dream location. Huge thanks to @doravargha.bsky.social and the #EAHMH25 team for their stellar organization. Can’t wait for Prague 2027.
