I have believed for a long time now that the term "artificial intelligence" is a bad name for the field and actually hurt it. Whether it was justified or legitimate when first adopted, the current narrative of many tech Co. and hype around #ArtificialIntelligence are detrimental.
Recently, the Center on Privacy & Technology at Georgetown Law decided to stop using it and explain their reasons in this very interesting read:

I wish more communicative bodies would follow.
So, people say you should apply for jobs you're not qualified for, and that ... to me that smells a lot like "github is your resume", advice born of relative privilege that isn't really meaningful to anyone who isn't.
That doesn't necessarily make it bad advice, but not for those reasons. Just that it's a mistake to think of a job as-described as something you're either qualified for or not.
Please take a moment to watch Vangelis just... improvise what sounds like an entire orchestral symphony on the most incredible rig I've ever seen.

Before #Mastodon, before #socialMedia, before the #Web, we had the #BBS.
If you wanna learn from those who came before, here's a comprehensive 5-hour #documentary about bulletin board systems. 🤓
(Of course, given the world back then it's mostly 5 hours of old white guys. So it goes!)

EU Joins Mastodon Social Network, Sets Up Its Own Server https://www.pcmag.com/news/eu-joins-mastodon-social-network-sets-up-its-own-server | https://lobste.rs/s/ojdxpu #culture #release
The Mastoverse at large has many blind and partially sighted users who would still love to engage with your creative content!
We strongly encourage use of image alt text to describe the images and videos you upload, and a lot of people won't boost ('retweet') content with no alt text.
After adding an image or video to your toot, you can click 'Edit' on the media to enter a description.
Media that doesn't have alt text will have a little blue dashed border around it in the feed.
So PC party tables a big-spending budget, but won't promise to use it if they're elected.
It's like lying in advance.

BREAKING: Ontario's PC party is not committing to reintroducing the same budget document that's just been tabled by Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy.
A $198B spending document that promises nearly $160B in capital spending over 10 years.
Oh hai. I hear this is where all the kool people hang out these days.
