So far, Salt Lake City is full of contrasts. First day: Went to a queer bookstore Second day: A group of cops next to me at a cafe were talking about how much they hate queer and trans people

Are algorithm audits meaningfully fixing issues in algorithmic systems? In our paper at #AIES2026 this week, @davidthewid.bsky.social and I argue that it’s time to deprioritize algorithm audits & instead shift scrutiny to the larger systems of power in which audits sit. 1/n

"As a visual test, Gay Times did an experiment of our own, asking the latest version of ChatGPT to “generate a photorealistic picture of a happy couple on holiday somewhere in the world, kissing while taking a selfie”."

I've recently been revisiting my web dev skills to scrape tech companies It has been a nice reminder that critical computing scholarship isn't simply "anti-technology" (even though that's how our research is often caricatured)
