Good podcast by @hiphilangsci on linguistic relativity and the origins of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis: https://hiphilangsci.net/2023/04/01/podcast-episode-31/

Un día como hoy (1884), nace el antropólogo y lingüista estadounidense Edward Sapir. Su trabajo al día de hoy sigue teniendo influencia y generando debates acalorados. En especial, la hipótesis Sapir-Whorf que se le atribuye y ha sido de inspiración para la ciencia ficción (p.e. Arrival) y diversas disciplinas académicas.

I think it's more that if they do care about #AIBias and point it out, they tend to get fired by their techbro bosses who have a hardon for anything labelled "AI," "crypto" or "quantum."

All the -isms are in the datasets, they're just a mirror of our society.

As ever, I return to #IainMBanks and #Marain, #SapirWhorf and #NeoStructuralism.

Another world is possible. But *we* have to build it. Starting with datasets created for change.

Never would I have imagined, while taking undergrad linguistics in 2016, that the highlight of my day would be arguing the finer points of Sapir-Whorf with a snarky Norwegian. 😂
