I'll be spending the next year as a Legislative AI Fellow within the AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowship! After researching and engaging in global AI governance over the past 4 years, it’s a privilege to have a rare opportunity to support AI legislation in Congress.
LinkedIn now lets you block pages from commenting on your posts and lets you label posts as “AI slop” to hide them from your timeline. Once they finally make an option to see only posts from my connections instead of mainly seeing posts they’ve reacted to, I’ll be set!
