We're thrilled to celebrate our own Martha Palmer, who has been appointed to the UN Independent International Scientific Panel on AI! Here's what she had to say: 🧵⬇️

Didn't I say I was happy she was released? How am I trying to control anything? I'm calling out her absolute hypocrisy. My friends in Maduro's prisons weren't as fortunate as her to have their freedom of speech respected.

But I can call her out for it :)

Fine. But let's not chant "Viva Maduro".

Cautiously, more hopeful. At least there is potential for *some* change. A shift in power, however minimal, can open some avenues. Things were completely stalled.

Thinking about what makes me so mad about people's takes on Venezuela. Something clicked. It's fucking dehumanizing.

All your takes on oil, international law, Trump. And our people? Dead, imprisoned, displaced, persecuted, impoverished, silenced. Don't expect us to shed any tears for the dictator.

A Moment of Vindication in Oslo | Caracas Chronicles The speeches at the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony serve as a capstone rebuttal to those who once fell under the spell of chavismo’s social justice utopia

"For the first time since this tragedy began, it felt like Venezuelans were finally given a voice on the world stage to tell our story without the noise of global electoral politics or distortions of activist ecosystems. Quite simply, our moment to speak."

Are you presenting? If yes, send pointer and I'll find you!

I'll be at #NAACL25 all week, reach out if you'd like to catch up!

My phone keeps thinking that my Spanglish texts are in Filipino and keeps asking me if I want to translate them. I thought we'd reached super intelligence.

It had worked well for me in the past, but this time it was very weird. I agree with you! If the review form was designed to treat it as a revision and embrace the continuity of the assessment it would help with this problem. Wonder how we could bring this to the attention of the ARR chairs.

Yeah, I was wondering if it could be that. I think the quality of our papers (and def. the ones in my AC batch) varied considerably in quality, yet score distributions were way too uniform. Maybe with the rubric requiring explicit recommendations, reviewers are less likely to take a stance?

This ARR cycle, we resubmitted 4 papers addressing (meta)reviewer feedback. They all got lower scores than they had before (requesting same reviewers), and all had the exact same borderline scores (~2.5). All papers in my AC batch (about 16) also have the same borderline scores. It looks very odd.

love that the thumbnail a picture of @tuhinchakr.bsky.social

I need an emergency reviewer for a paper on language to logic translation, anyone available to do it? #NLProc

Another joyful day existing as Venezuelans in the world.
