Tuck speaks with sociologist Alex Hanna (she/her). Topics include:
- How claiming AI is “sentient” gives big tech companies more power
- Privacy tips for trans folks and abortion-seekers (and why they’re not enough)
- Using data science to predict who will win Drag Race
- Literally what is the point of Dall-E?
- Plus: Roller derby, Star Trek, and some Macedonian teenager’s repository of faces?
