Just came across this article, "Incorporating Design Justice Activities in Engineering Courses," by Dr. Shuvra Das, University of Detroit Mercy. Extremely cool! #DesignJustice researchgate.net/profile/Shu…

Going back and forth from science spaces to ethics spaces is jarring. Today a speaker was discussing how they want a Chatgpt-like model for Boston dynamics robots that allow them to autonomously navigate & reason about the world. Isn’t that a cool interesting research problem? 1/

Daily reminder that Ticketmaster is a monopoly, it’s merger with LiveNation should never have been approved, and they need to be reigned in. Break them up.

Mary Shelley did try to warn us about hubristic STEM bros who make strange, impulsive experiments and then watch helplessly as their creation destroys itself at the expense of ordinary people.

Elon Musk has fired Twitter's entire accessibility division. Those people whose job it is to think about how blind, deaf and visually impaired people use and experience the product across platforms have been fired. The man is an embarrassment.

Design is separated from questions of #designjustice in @MIT curriculum. #designjusticesummit conveners, @monicarima2, @anastadiaostrow, @repeatedroots suspect the situation @MIT is true at many higher ed institutions. Let’s gather the data. media.mit.edu/publications/a…

Audit of @MIT courses finds few courses address #designjustice. Design justice is covered more commonly in humanities courses. Thanks to authors and #designjusticesummit conveners, @monicarima2, @anastadiaostrow, @repeatedroots media.mit.edu/publications/a…
