A campaign against #NPR's new CEO, ex-#Wikimedia Foundation Katherine Maher, is trying to portray her as "anti-truth" and "anti-First Amendment" by taking quotes out of context from her past talks about Wikimedia. As a longtime Wikipedian, I think I can give a little more context about these statements — but I recognize that the people behind this campaign are, ironically, not looking for the facts.

just dug up a book i made when i was five. not too much has changed.

it is extremely funny to me that a lot of the people who want to slash or repeal #Section230 are the same people condemning #NPR's Katherine Maher for her past comments they think are "anti-First Amendment"

In this video, I also go into the idea of "verifiability, not truth" — a #Wikipedia philosophy that is controversial both on- and off-wiki.

was briefly baffled by this CAPTCHA until i realized it was asking me to identify the animal that was bigger than the other animals in the picture, not the animal that, in real life, is bigger than roughly 1cm

we are rapidly approaching the point at which CAPTCHAs clever enough to keep the bots out are too confusing for the humans

really upsetting to see former Wikimedia Foundation director and CEO Katherine Maher getting targeted by the rightwing outrage machine in her new role as NPR CEO. she's wonderful, and NPR is lucky to have her. i hope they stand behind her.

it's interesting how the "let the markets decide" guys so often seem to think critics shouldn't factor into that decisionmaking at all

I spent a long time experimenting with AI before finally writing about it in depth. It can be pretty useful — but is it worth it?

My article for The Guardian just dropped.

"With no changes to how the industry operates and no watchdogs to check the abuse and greed that have defined it over its now-15 years of existence, we are doomed to see history repeat itself. More Bankman-Frieds will emerge to take his place, drawn by the promise of easy money and the low likelihood of consequences."
