What a brilliant session with @emilymbender in conversation with @Kobotic at #RMIT tonight.

Key takeaways:
- #BenderRule - name the language you're working in
- #AI is not one technology - it's many in a trenchcoat. Be specific.
- Who benefits from the changes wrought by AI and who bears the harms and externalities?
- AI is hype - learn enough to cut through it, ask difficult questions
- "Pile of racist linear algebra"
- Read everything by @karenhao
- Read #TheAICon by Emily and @alex
- Read @CriticalAI

Good news, they've moved to Storey Hall which is 4 x the capacity.

To discuss her new book #TheAICon written with @alex

If you hate the #AI hype as much as I do and generally think of AI as bullshit generation and epistemic violence then you will love this.

If you loved the #StochasticParrots paper, you will love this.

I try and use the #BenderRule (Bender, 2019) in every talk I give - "state the language in which you practice" - because English is only 1 of 7000 other languages spoken in the world.
