I'm tired of: - getting served up garbage (and hate) I wasn't looking for. (And ads, so many ads.) - this platform being used to dunk on people rather than connect people and ideas. - paying for (what used to be) useful content with my attention. 1/2 – at Philadelphia, PA

If you're planning on attending a conference, ASK how speakers are selected. Do they use a "blind" call for speakers/content, do they make explicit effort to hear a diverse set of voices, etc? Vote with your $£€¥... – at Massachusetts, USA

AI is the exact opposite of a solution in search of a problem. It's the solution to far more problems than its developers even knew existed.

The Dead Sea scrolls are still readable 2 millennia after their creation — yet the expected shelf life of a DVD is just 100 years. Without maintenance, most digital information will be lost in just a few decades. How might we secure our data so that it survives for generations?
