It's terrifying seeing how readily US government agents comply with orders of scrubbing anything related to diversity and inclusion (from publications containing the word "bias" to info relevant to trans people). Now I can see how one day his headmaster could enter my great-uncle's classroom and tell the children in his care that the Jewish ones were to go home and not bother to come back.
Be assured that far-right politicians in Europe are taking notes.

La DINUM nous propose un hackaton IA générative pour le bien commun. Voici la liste des thématiques retenues pour «relever les défis des services publics» : https://alliance.numerique.gouv.fr/hackathon/sous-defis-et-participants/
Je retiens particulièrement la traduction (un défi qui pourrait être relevé en embauchant des traducteurices) et «simplifier les processus répétitifs comme la rédaction ou le reporting» (qu'on pourrait relever en réfléchissant à ces processus—sont-ils nécessaires ? qu'est-ce qui les rend répétitifs ?).

Great post by @OmaymaS on the disconnect between the fascination of the Western world for "AI safety" and the actual, current ethical issues with AI.

The only reason I'm not flooding you with painstaking details about my infuriating debilitating #MECFS is that it would take too much energy.

(Long story short: I lectured for 90 minutes three days in a row and it's taking such a stupid toll.)
