Excited to be included on @TIME's list of the TIME100 AI of 2025! Grateful to the @AINowInstitute for supporting my work on addressing the safety revisionism of AI in defense and safety-critical contexts where safety has been obscured with little to no accountability. #TIME100AI

I'm not joking when I tell you that multiple men have asked me, a cís woman, if I'm trans because I'm strong (especially after posting this photo). This was always the end game for transphobes, to define a dated and oppressive definition of womanhood.

A significant amount of safety research has existed since the 70s on Human Machine Interfaces proving exactly this. It's exhausting to watch money and effort wasted in a tech hype cycle to constantly undo and redo what we already know in safety engineering.

The US Navy has done studies. Clicky and chunky switches work better than touch screens

One of the most maddening aspects of having to endure Arabs being called "savages", is that Arabs will make you a 4-course dinner for "tea", force you to take leftovers home, give you the clothes on their back, anything you may have hinted you liked, all whilst Europeans do this.

I guess they have a Dutch Venmo called tikkies and people will send you requests for literally everything I read an expat girl complaining that she went for coffee with someone and they sent her a tikkie for their parking spot by the coffee shop when they didn't even drive her

"ChatGPT Passes medical/law/mba/etc. Exam". Yeah? I would too if I had petabytes of relevant or exact training data available to me (aka open book exam). Another day, another set of worthless metrics.

Hey remember 10-15 years ago when they used to throw people in jail if they pirated films to make an example out of them? Turns out, totally fine for "AI" companies.

New allegations: Meta didn't just download "pirated copyrighted material... for use in its commercially available AI models", they even shared it with peers once they were done downloading (seeding). 🏴‍☠️ Why would they do that? Out of courtesy? 🙉 wired.com/story/new-docu…

None of you understand the level of dehumanisation we are experiencing when I watch dead infants daily, my friends' families wiped out, IDF Propaganda calling for Arabs to be eliminated, yet people on here say "I feel dehumanised this academic letter didn't condemn Hamas enough".

Just fascinating how many AI "ethics" and "safety" folks have been utterly silent on this bombshell and are continuing to discuss AI risks that seemingly only benefit the powers they're desperate to be adjacent to 👍🏼

The Guardian confirms @972mag investigation that the IDF uses AI to generate bombing targets in Gaza at an unprecedented rate, powering a “mass assassination factory” in which the “emphasis is on quantity and not on quality”. theguardian.com/world/2023/dec… It's probably the most

A few months ago a friend asked why I follow politics so closely, I said "because I need to know when they're going to start rounding us up". Fascism always comes home to roost, best represented by the new House Speaker and these two "bills". Your silence won't save you.

Growing up I watched my grandmother give her clothes and literal bed to people who are more in need, without them asking. Arabs hold some of the most hospitable cultures that exist, and we're constantly being relegated to orientalist tropes that are projections of our oppressors.

I hate the term "the great resignation", because it's actually "the great burnout". In the past several decades, with the help of technology, every ounce of productivity and capital has been squeezed out non-executive working individuals. Yet our wages and quality of life have
