I joined the art community at the age of 14 and started participating in group exhibits with local artists in my hometown. Back in the day, we only had one museum and barely any galleries, art bistros, or coffee shops with artworks on display. 🧵
than the purpose of this celebratory month which is to spotlight women's accomplishments.
Women's History Month was actually established to highlight women's historical achievements in the humanities and sciences, not gender-specific struggles. While the two are linked, debates around "what is a woman" are being highlighted more
Women's History Month was established to celebrate women's achievements in various fields.
Gender rights movements are more appropriate on International Women's Day on March 8.
Everyone is arguing about "what is a woman" and it distracts the core purpose of Women's History Month which is to spotlight women's historical accomplishments in sciences and humanities. 😕
Now go post about your favorite female scientist, artist, or leader instead.
Of course, Ada Lovelace, who was the first computer programmer!
Girls, don't be intimidated to pursue Computer Science. Women have worked in computing throughout history. You have plenty of female role models to look up to. Women have always belonged in computing!
Women have contributed a lot to Computer Science. During World War II, thousands of women worked as "human computers." Special mention of Grace Hopper who developed the first compiler for a programming language.

Up until now, I've been using art to pay for my school fees as I work toward becoming a neuroscientist. I've always been at the intersection of art and science, and I've found my niche: painting brains.
and voila, I connected with neuroscientists through my art. I'm from a small hometown in a third-world country where neuroscientists are barely visible.
Still, everyone was so talented that I couldn't keep up with them. For many years, until my early 20s, I was still finding my own niche and had hardly any buyers. When I decided to pursue neuroscience (and computer science), I started painting brains—

It's Women's History Month and the first victims of the current war were young schoolgirls. Whether it was a failed missile attack from Iran or targeted attack from Israel, fuck them all. Those were children. The first victims were children!! 😡
Ethics goes out of the window when money talks to Sam.
The Age of Surveillance Capitalism.
OpenAI was risking bankruptcy because Sam Altman was spending more money than their profits while pursuing theoretical AGI. To cover the costs, he resorted to ads, and this time a deal with the Pentagon for mass surveillance.
That's why it's so important to have more women in STEM fields, to engineer and design products that prioritize their safety and comfort.
As a woman, I realized how many of the things we use regularly were designed for men. Women often have to put in extra effort to use them. This is especially challenging for independent women who live alone and don't rely on others.
I highly recommend it for women...and men!
It's about how data on women's issues are overlooked and how it exactly affects them and the world.
I didnt know he was friends with Epstein. This is disappointing.

Simon argues that modeling human cognition by fitting parameters from input-output data is computationally infeasible, even with billions of brains’ worth of internet data. “It’s an NP-hard problem,” he says: practically impossible.
Hey! See my hippocampus artwork in the background during this interview. 😊

They send their rich kids to prestigious schools but teach the masses to hate the schools. The real elitists want you to stay uneducated.
Academia doesn't have a perfect system. It always gets accused as "elitist" because of the intellectuals' access to elite circles due to their high educational attainment. But the real elitists are those oligarchs in politics who teach you to be anti-science and anti-humanities.
Physicalism isn't 'independent' of science. It's the working hypothesis that has successfully driven scientific progress for centuries.
Panpsychism has never led anywhere. It wouldn't explain anything even if it was true, whatever that would even mean.
Oh god...a war is being prepared between USA and Iran. You can monitor it here if you can stomach it.
I'm praying for everyone's safety.
