I really like that a news organization publishes an impact report as an end of the year wrapping article.

Congrats @themarkup. Continue the good work.

What I like with #mastodon is that someone will make a like on a comment you made 5 years ago. And it doesn't feel odd.

"When I coach younger women, I tell them that in computer science, the chance that you will be the only women in the room is still very real. That means people will remember you, so say something that makes the attention worthwhile.” - Genevieve Bell, Senior Fellow and Vice President at Intel.

I got lured into a talk on "Using AI, art & spirituality to rediscover humanity" at #ImpactWeek.

And I absolutely was disgusted by the shrimp-jesus-like images I saw. The creator kept mentioning they wanted to find depth in AI generated human forms. In my opinion, they completely missed the mark and should have also put trigger warnings at the beginning of their talk.

If you're looking for an AI artist finding back humanity in AI images, this has much more depth: https://thoughtworksarts.io/projects/salaf/

I'm always amazed that people working in #sustainability who propose efficiency gaining solutions, are not aware of the Jevons paradox.
