Chloe Sagal went to a park, in Portland OR, where I used to live, read a manifesto about homelessness and mental health, and set herself on fire. There is nothing graphic in the post, it is a coherent breakdown of what happened, and the circumstances leading up to this tragedy. We can all learn a bit from this.

I'm trying to put together an introductory class for a group that is starting up in , ND. I was wondering if any of y'all and literate folk might have any particular interactive bash that you would recommend? I'm seeing many on the google; personal recommendation by anybody with the know will help me sort things out quite a bit. ;)

Thanks in advance!

A SWATHE of Google employees have signed a petition calling on chief executive Sundar Pichai to stop the company from aiding the Pentagon's artificial intelligence project.

Some 3,100 Googlers signed a letter to the Pichai urging him to pull Google out of a project that could see AI tech used to analyse military videos captured by drones and help improve the precision of drone strikes, according to The New York Times.

If our reading of the public record is correct, systems that Google is supporting or building would flag people or objects seen by drones for human review, and in some cases this would lead to subsequent missile strikes on those people or objects. Those are hefty ethical stakes, even with humans in the loop further along the “kill chain”.
