Happy to be in my favorite space at NeurIPS! To me, AI is political and my queerness is political and @QueerinAI holds space for me to embrace that rather than trying to suppress it. Beautiful discussions about community building in research and the world.

Next up, this afternoon I'll be on a panel "AI for All: Advancing Responsibility, Fairness, & Queer Representation in Technology" at @Hunter_College , hosted by my friend/colleague Raj Korpan. Such an important topic as building truly useful & trustworthy AI takes everyone!

Biggest congratulations to Dr. @GDezoort!! I can’t believe he just got his PhD because his work has been extraordinary for years already. Gage, you’re truly one of the most thoughtful and creative researchers I know. Can’t wait to see what you do next!

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/

Super duper excited about this paper (maybe my favorite one I've done so far)! We explore the impact of equivariance in GNNs, and particularly on model efficiency, by isolating different architecture choices and measuring their impact of model accuracy AND our novel 'ant factor'
