AI journalism has a hype problem. To move past the cycle of reacting to each story, @sayashk and I analyzed over 50 pieces from 5 prominent outlets. We've compiled a list of recurring pitfalls that readers should watch out for and journalists should avoid. aisnakeoil.substack.com/p/ei…

Even on a day of celebration, its a reminder that 1) being queer and looking different is still hard and 2) some people hold a violence so present that they can release it at us in <1 second.

Today a man on a motorbike stopped, looked straight in my eyes and spat in my face. I was on the way to see my partner's DJ set at @amsterdampride. #amsterdampride #prideamsterdam

I made a bot that leaves a comment on any solid images found in the #blacklivesmatter tag on IG. Hope this will help clear up the hashtag and allow info to be found easily. I might need help scaling it, will put on GitHub soon #BlackTechTwitter

It’s the 200th anniversary Florence Nightingale’s birth. She was the first woman to be a fellow of the Royal Statistical Society - here’s her application form which I took a photo of when I worked there. We can see her data driven approach today in how we respond to Covid-19

I’ve done a few projects in ocean science and can confirm: it's a great area for data scientists and techies to contribute to protecting the environment. And this looks like a cool way to start getting amongst it: mothershipmissions.com/thebi… #dataforgood #aiforgood #TechForGood

3.8m registrations between the 2019 election being called and the deadline. 31% more than 2017 election registration period, despite being 6 days shorter. With ~36.9% already-registered voters updating details, that is over 2.4m new registered voters - in 29 days! 🗳️🎉 #GE2019
