Multiple junior researchers have asked for guidance on being supportive yet are worried about repercussions. So I wrote this F.A.Q.
You must survive. We need you in the fight for the next few decades! Make choices accordingly (feel free to DM)

ALT F.A.Q. at linked website, on "As a junior academic/researcher, I'm supportive, but worried about repercussions" Text is on the website on strategies for supporting invisibly.

📣I’ll be recruiting graduate students for Fall 2024, and am actively looking for research interns and students at different levels! Interested in Machine Learning and Sensing, Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction Technologies - let's connect!
Beyond thrilled to share that I have defended my PhD at @cmuhcii and will be joining @NorthwesternU as an Assistant Professor & Lisa Wissner-Slivka and Benjamin Slivka Chair in Computer Science. Huge thanks to my advisors, collaborators, family & friends for their support!

Looks interesting! DCODE supervisor @quillis also has a section on privacy paradox. "The state of privacy is not a paradox, just an impossible state of affairs
rendering the individual helpless."

This may be the "first (comprehensive) regulation on #ArtificialIntelligence" but it's certainly not the first regulation that *applies* to #AI.
In the wake of this news, let's not forget that there's no #AI exemption to the laws on the books.

These three days, many DCODE PhD fellows will grace the 10th @Nordes_conf . We will reflect on how we are creating spaces to rethink design in the digital transformation of the society with an exploratory paper and 7 doctoral consortium presentations. nordes2023.org – at Norrköping, Sverige

Prof. Dr. Ulises Mejias at the #SustainableAIConference discusses how when we understand data systems as being colonial and find parallels with histories, we form a very different understanding of the internet and of data as a commons, especially in the context of generative AI.

So another "godfather" of AI, Turing Award Winner Yoshua Bengio has decided to FULLY align himself with the #TESCREAL bundle, writing about "rogue AI" and prominently citing people like Nick Bostrom.
Take a good look at this text here written by non other than Nick Bostrom,

Join Hall of Mirrors, a prototeam project in collaboration with @OpenFutureEU, an archive of how #generativeAI (mis)interprets us. Help us understand the implications and how design can inform #policymaking in this space. discord.gg/wAwH8RWk

I know a lot of you wanted a technical breakdown of this meme so here it is!
I don't think you will find this level of detail anywhere else so keep reading if you don't want to miss out.

“We reject the premise that only wealthy white men…decide what constitutes an existential threat to society….For people of color, women, LGBTQIA+ people, religious & caste minorities, indigenous people, migrants…technology has always posed an existential threat…
For too long media coverage of tech & AI has been defined by white tech barons and their PR machines.
Today I join @safiyanoble @timnitGebru @dalitdiva @nighatdad @arzugeybulla @Nanjala1 @joana_varon & others to call for a more inclusive conversation.
