After 13 years on Twitter, I'm out. You can find me on The Other Websites, the mammoth and the butterfly (and the horrifying LinkedIn). Plus new website and newsletter coming soon for our research team at Oxford, stay tuned! May we build better worlds than this rotten place. 🌱

Excited to share a first look at our upcoming documentary, “In the Belly of AI”. Directed by @PoulainOriginal and co-written with @juliengoetz. Join us as we explore the people, stories, and belief systems behind the algorithms influencing our daily lives.
