Have you written anything about the historical analogy with cocaine? I first learned it from you and want to talk about it more.

Embarrassing. Hope you/other speakers are able to push back, and ANYONE in NYC can submit written testimony about real current harms and how all of this is a distraction/boost for these companies, here:

Thanks for being there to document it for us and to represent the people’s deep, immediate concerns and resistance!

Idk how it works there, but if you're signed up to speak as a concerned community resident, I wish you the best of fun in kneecapping them with the real concerns. 💖

Wrote my STS master thesis on different imaginations of AI and potential regulatory models.. that was over a decade ago.

Menin is getting little soundbite zingers where the companies are dodging the request to quantify catastrophic risk. But it feels like a song and dance to avoid real questions about real current harm.

With respect, we don't need to talk about Terminator. We need to talk about trash AI that's already running NYC. hiring algorithms that are still discriminatory black boxes with fake audits. Landlord screening AI that auto-rejects Black and brown tenants over bad data

the way certain politicians reacted about solar energy taking away from the coal industry, really tells us everything about how they actually don’t care if technology is destroying and dismantling actual real jobs in the creative fields. (Which is a lot larger than coal)
