So glad to see the @Sfchron's feature on my book Predatory Data. If you want to read more on how Big Tech's obsession with surveilling + experimenting on populations has a precedent in eugenics, the book is out with @UCPress next week.
datebook.sfchronicle.com
The author examines how today’s Big Tech relies on data that exploits women, immigrants and other marginalized groups in perpetuating inequalities.

So glad to have Predatory Data featured in this @sfchronicle feature. Big Tech's obsession w/ surveilling + experimenting on populations, esp minorities, for political + financial profit has a precedent w/ eugenics. Predatory Data - out next wk w/ @ucpress - is my book on this.
Does Big Tech have a eugenics problem? Here's @wrongrrl in San Francisco Chronicle discussing..

CA's veto of #AISafety Bill #SB1047 - despite WIDE public support had everything to do w/ lobbying fr. OpenAI, FB Meta, Marc Andreessen. Open AI's ousted brd mbrs said it best: AI can't be allowed to govern themselves. Can we listen to these #WomeninAI?

This letter fr OpenAI whistleblowers should be required reading for all students. & news that OpenAI is removing its non-profit board's oversight is just the latest sign that it's abandoning its founding promise to prioritize public safety over profit.
