A thread on The Ethics of Data and Analytics - for those looking to use it in a class. Three themes run throughout the book.

The network technology giant Cisco offers to turn Wi-Fi access points installed in offices and other buildings into a system that tracks the location of employees, customers, smartphones, laptops and other devices for a wide range of purposes.
I took a deep dive ⬇️ [thread]

Some immediate steps I believe that all trans people should take:
- Get your passport. Today. It takes time to come in and this will likely be shut down under Trump.
- Update every ID your state allows you to.
- Make sure you have a supply of medication in case of disruption

If you're noticing a lot more 'jokes' about controlling or stopping women's votes, you're not imagining it teapawt.net/cynicalzoomer/status/1…

Here is the full report but I’d be curious how the initial tweet travels if you don’t mind sharing it. wired.com/story/facebook-mil…

Wired tweeted this to its 10 million followers and it has under 50 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. "These plans for militia activity in the wake of the US election are not from a private conversation on an encrypted platform. It was unfolding on a public Facebook profile."

1. In a devastating report from the CDC, we learn that one in four trans kids have attempted to take their lives in the past year.
One in ten required medical treatment for their attempt, dispelling myths that the attempts "aren't serious."

“Hank in Jackson County” appears to be Hank Choate, a farmer but also one of the 16 Michigan Republicans who signed a certificate falsely claiming that Donald Trump won the 2020 election:
The Harris-Slotkin agenda is hurting Michigan farmers.
Our producers will have a strong voice with President Trump in the White House and @MikeRogersForMI in the U.S. Senate.
More from Hank in Jackson County👇

“When the AI provided an incorrect result, researchers found inexperienced and moderately experienced radiologists dropped their cancer-detecting accuracy from around 80% to about 22%. Very experienced radiologists’ accuracy dropped from nearly 80% to 45%.”😮
Despite the hype, AI helpers could make you worse at your job.
For @Brain_Facts_org I spoke with @nunuska, @YongJinPark5, and @histoftech about automation bias, and how it can entrench the race and gender biases built into AI models.

Crikey! “AI worse than humans in every way at summarizing information … the technology might actually make more work for people, not less”

Now starting to read coverage of the landmark decision against Google. I'm giving my first hat tip to Brian Fung and Clare Duffy at CNN. They are the only reporters I've seen (so far) who have nailed the AI implications of this decision. WELL DONE. cnn.com/2024/08/05/business/…

I'll just say this. Back when we were shlepping to Hill offices to share our later abortion story and ask for support against viability bans, there was one single Senate office that had an actual reproductive rights lawyer on staff. And that Senator was Kamala Harris.

1. A viral post on Twitter and Facebook is claiming that Trump's shooter was actually a trans woman. It was shared by far-right accounts and Alex Jones.
The problem? It's of an unrelated trans woman named Rose.
I spoke with Rose today.

A third NHS Whistleblower has come forward.
The whistleblowers have alleged that the NHS, Dr. Cass have covered up transgender suicides as a result of restrictions on trans care in the UK, which exploded after those restrictions.
This quoted post is unavailable.

“When the Governor’s office stepped in to escalate on her behalf, the content was quickly found to violate community standards and the content was removed. This woman and her attorney had written communication with five Meta employees, none of whom could or would help them.”(2/2)

Here's an incredibly vivid illustration of something leftists say a lot:
Many top Democrats don't really care if they lose, because they'll be fine. The stakes of elections fall on the most marginalized and vulnerable, not on people like Biden, who can afford not to care much.

It has been a week since the GLP announced that the Cass Review and the NHS covered up a shocking and huge increase in suicides after youth restrictions were put into place.
Not a single major media outlet has covered this story, despite breathless anti-trans coverage.

My new paper w/@b_mittelstadt @c_russl "Do LLMs have a legal duty to tell the truth?" We explore if developers need to reduce hallucinations, inaccurate & harmful outputs or what we term "careless speech"? We show who is liable for GenAI outputs. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
