Bezos saw it coming & did what he needed to do. Who knows what comes next but this now is oligarchy. It’s the cojoining of state power & business interests. It’s 90s Russia. It’s the chaos before the crackdown. It’s Musk & Thiel & every cryptobro chancer in Silicon Valley

I experimented with AI headshots earlier this year and found very a problematic encoding of societal beauty standards: unnecessary sexualization, aggressively thin, extreme bias towards youth. I'm glad we're collectively continuing to push back on this. redmonk.com/rstephens/2024/0…
I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX+AI). I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right. Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird. I open my original photo. No bra showing. I put the two photos side by side and I'm like WTF... Someone edited my photo to unbutton my blouse and reveal a made-up hint of a bra or something else underneath. 🤨 Immediately, I email the conference host. (FYI he is a great, respectable guy with 5 kids at home.) He is super apologetic and immediately looks into the issue. He quickly reports back that the woman running their social media used a cropped square image from their website. She needed it to be more vertical, so she used an AI expand image tool to make the photo taller. AI invented the bottom part of the image (in which it believed that women's shirts should be unbuttoned further, with some tension around the buttons, and revealing a little hint of something underneath). 🤯 — FYI the conference organizers were super apologetic and took down all of the content with that photo.

Outreachy is getting squeezed financially from reduced funding related to both diversity programs and open source orgs. Can you help us spread the word about how important the program is and help us connect to folks who might contribute funding? outreachy.org/blog/2024-08-1…

"The mix of tech monopoly, regulatory capture and some broken code resulted in the perfect storm taking out global infrastructure."
🧵The CrowdStrike incident is a cautionary tale on the importance of developers, sysadmins, IT folks, etc. Orgs, esp those in highly regulated industries have been trained, even forced, to underinvest in IT and blindly trust 3rd party vendors (think of the compliance!)

As an industry this is the height of embarrassment, and we should be asking ourselves a lot of questions about how we got here. I do know that how we get out of here is going to be through investing in good developers, admins and IT folks across the board.
