@MindaHarts ❤️❤️ I had an encounter with police in my home when I was dealing with mental health issues after my mom died. I truly felt I was going to die because my out-of-state family wanted a wellness check. This is a terrifying place to exist.

The fact that white men in AI are playing up the “aloof, regretful scientist” trope is ridiculous when they COMPLETELY IGNORED issues we raised before. Maybe we should exclude the “godfathers” from this second wave of AI. They’re lost, emotional and have proven they don’t care

@teneikaask_you That’s good! I wish they pay more in general though. So many ppl I know passing on AI roles b/c some salaries laughably low. I hope they get there.

@Abebab And they think they’re doing you a favor by “allowing” you to make it SEEM like they care about progress.

I love Reese, but tbh most people don’t understand AI. I’m more disappointed she’s reading directly from an invisible GenAI futurist marketing handbook The script for AI hype has reached Hollywood.

Reese Witherspoon shares her thoughts on AI. “It’s here to stay, so just get used to it. And I think AI is not coming for your job; people who know how to use AI are coming for your job. So learn about it. It should be a tool upon which we lay our own creativity, our own
