Does anyone know of a person that goes by "Leslie Winns"? Yesterday 11/15
at 7:11pm they sent an email to EBFNB (East Bay Food Not Bombs) prior
listserv which the address is still on the Omni's wiki. The email states a
serious accusation towards a community member. EBFNB are in a conversation
with the member accused but was not able to reach "Leslie Winns" by the
email it was sent from...Please contact me directly if you have any info.
Thanks.

Maybe Sudo Room could add an AI thought leadership practice? Or add it
as a component to our existing and emerging programming?
“...The notion that AI is a worker, not a tool, can too easily continue
the devaluation of human agency that has been the hallmark of regimented
work (and for that matter, education, which prepares people for that
regimented work) at least since the industrial revolution. In some
sense, Huang’s comment is a reflection of our culture’s notion of most
workers as components that do what they are told, with only limited
agency. It is only by comparison with this kind of worker that today’s
AI can be called a worker, rather than simply a very advanced tool...”

These Temescal Library Fixit Clinics are an important Sudo Room outreach

recruiting new members as we work alongside neighbors to fix their
stuff. Even if you can’t make it right at the start you’re welcome to
drop in anytime and hang out with us. And you’re most welcome to bring
your own things to work on too.
Here are the items pre-registered as of today, we typically get mostly
walk-ins though: http://bit.ly/itemcheckins

we know you're coming; and if you know anyone else who would make a good
Coach: bring ‘em along!
Hope to see you tomorrow, -Peter
