I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

These are just zombie statistics. Tech is rife with it. Every industry focused "research report" acts like its sample is a census, and it creates wild estimates with no regard for generalizability, representation, or context for claims. And honestly unfortunately a lot of researchers participate
I keep seeing some version of this when it comes to AI-generated code related stats being shared and I am just begging people to dig deeper. I saw folks on here share a stat that says, "AI-generated code contains 322% more security vulnerabilities." And I'm like okay, what's the source on this? 🧵
