Reduce link rot and make federal websites more efficient: A reset of https://t.co/cyXbKqtuYH happens every presidential changeover; federal government agencies and news orgs and everyone really just should stop linking to it.

Re: "[State CIOs] said data management is a major obstacle" in adopting AI (from https://t.co/OudEEzbQje ), then maybe AI at #3 and data management at #6 in their 2024 priorities is backwards? https://t.co/5zTvdzszFj

“Kai-ohs” is I guess how we’re supposed to acronym Chief Artificial Intelligence Officers (CAIO)? I know it’s not the same spelling but CIAOs (chows) has a certain ring to it.

Am I overreacting when I feel like making a stock image black girl the poster child for "misbehavior" in Florida (to a government & policy audience, no less) is a bad idea? https://t.co/G6ezoKY9yQ

Question: as a resident of the US, what apps can I not access right now in the Apple App Store because of US regulatory restrictions? (Not looking for those that just aren’t available to me if their audience is elsewhere or they are regulated by their home countries.)

A sad day for California; @JoyBonaguro leaves some very big boots to fill.
Yesterday was my last day as the Chief Data Officer of the State of California. I started just before the pandemic and lockdown and have a few reflections on my time in this role. https://t.co/UQq0AjxDLo

I personally got snarled in the IRS implementation of id me a couple of years ago, and I’m arguably a highly savvy technologist. Does the government outsource passports or drivers licenses? Nope. But it does for official identity in digital spaces.

All of this thread. Not saying gov can do this better, but some things should not be outsourced in the name of cost savings and innovation. It creates a situation where everyone can point the finger of blame away from themselves and not be held accountable.
