Know any NYC students, or their parents?

The mayor closed the libraries on Sundays, and is set to close them Saturdays too -- citing budget constraints 📚

The budget's being debated right now!

So, if you live in NYC?

Here's a form that'll auto-send a letter to your city councillor telling them to vote to "keep the libraries open sundays": https://actionnetwork.org/letters/open-the-libraries-nyc/

Forward it to any students in NYC 🤘

Parents can use it too -- just rewrite the opening salutation to say "I'm a parent"

There's a crisis in Mexico, but most MSM journalists haven't covered it, or the reason for the suffering, :

MX’s drought, heatwave & water shortages have gotten so bad that even police blocked traffic in protest Wed. In recent months, residents of some MX City neighborhoods have regularly taken to forming human chains to block boulevards to demand water. In Apr, complaints about contaminated water sparked a weeks-long crisis in one upscale neighborhood.

Congrats to @andresmh on receiving the Graduate Mentoring Award from the McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning and Princeton's Graduate School!

“He was always available to meet and provided actionable feedback,” said one student. “He was also kind and supportive. Those who know Andrés will agree he has an amazing ring of positive energy.”

✨ I spent 3 months writing the best interactive introduction to queueing I could, and it's live now!

You can read it here: https://encore.dev/blog/queueing.

It starts off by showing what happens when you have no queue...

A screenshot from the post. It shows the first visualisation, an orange circular button on the left and a black rounded square on the right. The button is clicked, and a request travels to the black square, the server, and gets processed by slowly disappearing in a clock-like fashion.

Compiling a reading list for grad students and need your input: what are the best readings on
(1) methods to identify and
(2) measure AI harms?

Self-plugs are always welcomed. Bonus points if papers include ways to "quantify" said harms.

What does it mean for a company to "know" that their products are harming people, how do corporate scientists convince themselves not to look at the truth, and how does that change?

Before anyone starts arguing that what OpenAI did was okay because there's no law against sounding like a celebrity, yes there is! You can't use someone else's recognizable voice in an ad.

Frito-Lay hired a guy to sing like Tom Waits for a Doritos commercial. Lawsuit!

Ford hired one of Bette Midler's backup singers to cover one of her songs for a Mercury Sable ad. Lawsuit!

Louis Prima and Olive Garden, Bert Lahr and Lestoil, Nancy Sinatra and Goodyear Tires. The hits just keep on coming.

I couldn't stop thinking about the Meta AI chatbot that made up a human experience in a parenting Facebook group - so I wrote about why online communities are for people, not chatbots. Decades of social computing research tells us that information seeking in online communities is as much about shared experiences and human connection as it is about getting an answer. Maybe generative AI shouldn't be everywhere doing everything. https://theconversation.com/ai-chatbots-are-intruding-into-online-communities-where-people-are-trying-to-connect-with-other-humans-229473

There’s a new playbook being written right now when it comes to the future of social media. The early-mover advantage is still in effect, and there’s a lot to figure out. Gone are opaque algorithms and the whims of any single company.

The fediverse represents a chance for quality journalism to shine again.

We talked to two leaders at fedi-forward publications — @TheConversationUS's @BostonAbrams, and @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler — about why they’re investing in the open social web, what they’ve learned so far, and their advice for other publishers just getting started.

Our commitment to the fediverse is here to stay.

Today, we launched our new Mastodon instance. It will ensure a privacy-focused space to engage with and get the latest from our Commissioners, departments, and the official voices of the Commission.

We want to thank @Mastodon for stewarding us and helping us make this possible.

Fostering European digital players is vital to our strategy for a stronger .

This is a unique opportunity to grow the community even more. Let's get there!
