🛎 Attention scientific conference organisers:
It is not acceptable in this day and age not to organise your face to face events as hybrid.
I’ll tell you why 🧵

Ready for discussions of #ethNLP and ethics review at NLP/ML etc conferences? Don't forget your bingo card! (With @KarnFort1 on the TGV from Perpignan to Paris).

ALT "NLP Ethics Excuse Bingo" bingo card. The squares are: If I don’t, someone else will Who are you to decide? Ethics is relative to culture There are positive uses too Ethics review is censorship Science is neutral Well, you flew to this conference People are biased too Negative outcomes are not predictable Workers there are happy for $0.05 There are no alternatives Don’t slow down progress You want to go back to candles? Ethics review is US imperialism The data was publicly accessible Stop being political CC-BY-SA Emily M. Bender & Karën Fort 2022

Today's approach to "AI" R&D:
1) Pump out lots and lots and lots of papers.
2) Progress is so fast! Look how many papers there are on arXiv.
3) Sorry, no time to create meaningful evaluation. Gotta keep up with arXiv!
4) See, look at those big numbers. That's SUPERHUMAN!

I was planning on sending a paper to @emnlpmeeting, but apparently it’s illegal for me to go to the UAE so that’s off the table.
So much for a “culture that embraces diversity while emphasizing mutual tolerance and privacy”

Replying to @emnlpmeeting
Abu Dhabi is among the safest cities in the world (ranked #31 overall by the 2021 Safe Cities Index) with a culture that embraces diversity while emphasizing mutual tolerance and privacy --- an umbrella under which many lifestyles thrive. (5/8)

📢 tech & ethics folks: I've collected 🧵 of pointers to official statements and discussions on what the big tech has done/should do for 🇺🇦 war. Again, this is not just about 🇺🇦: what we do now sets precedent for the future. Comments, updates & corrections welcome!

Replying to @emilymbender @AngloPeranakan
Summarizing, @AngloPeranakan pointed out that knowing how to tune a model to get a good score on some data set is not the same thing as knowing how to understand the model, the data, where the data came from, and what effect the model will have when applied in the world.

Liebe Frauen, falls ihr jemals an euch und euren Talenten zweifelt und glaubt, dass ihr einem Job oder einer Aufgabe nicht gewachsen seid: Schaut euch an, wie mittelmäßige Männer dieses Land regieren und untereinander Jobs tauschen als wären es Spielkarten. Ihr könnt alles.
