  • I think it’s a great idea to require a human attendant for giant autonomous machinery.

    If the company does not provide the attendant, then the public is just going to shoulder that burden.

    I am NOT going to protect or respect unattended property like an autonomous truck if it runs off the road or rams my vehicle or is a risk to my own safety, for example.

    I’m pretty sure I’d be offended just having to ride behind it on the freeway as it drives precisely the speed limit in all traffic conditions - can’t say for sure until I’ve experienced it though.

    This would make a really cool art installation where you start at the top of a multistory building and keep walking through and turning right before going downstairs to the next room where you walk through and turn right before going downstairs to the next room… Etc etc.

    If all the furniture got progressively smaller as the walls and ceilings progressively closed in, it would feel just like this picture.

    Or you could leave everything the same size and it would still make for a surreal experience going down, through, right, down, through, right, etc until popping out into the street - at that last set of stairs you’d be certain the door in front of you would lead straight into the identical living room from every other floor. Seeing the street instead would be a real mindfuck.



  • I wonder if you could capture a high quality, multitrack recording of this emergence event to get a multidimensional audio sample from unique times/geographies where these groups emerge.

    With an audio sample that could only come from this specific event every 200+ years, you could set up a program that survives your own death and triggers only when it happens again.

    I’m not sure what the utility would be, but I’d watch it on Netflix for sure.

    When you have privacy settings, what you really have is a lie.

    It starts out with good intentions, like those in this post, but eventually everyone forgets that the platform still sees your posts and does not give a shit about selling them.

    I would rather acknowledge from the very beginning that this entire system is not private, so there is never such a misunderstanding.

    Everyone should post and comment with caution, just like you use caution with what you say in public places.




  • Where should the outrage be? To whom should it be directed? What are the specific political moves that will change the behavior of the Israeli government?

    I think these are the open questions floating around in the general world population right now. They are debated, but the answers aren’t really clear to a majority.

    I won’t pretend to know for certain, but I think the outrage should be among Israelis and directed at their government because that’s the only direct way to change it’s behavior.

    Alternatively, I guess a 3rd country’s citizens could pressure their own government to divest from Israel or otherwise pressure them to change their ways. Of course, that’s an indirect way to change the behavior of the Israeli government and does not address any preexisting reasons for aiding Israel in the first place.


  • IBM did it first. It wasn’t a secret. There was a Watson Health group dedicated to training ML models on medical records from large insurers and hospital networks. Among other things, the game plan was to have the system provide oversight for the notes of physicians and other medical practitioners - to spot poor quality/repetitive notes and alert the practitioner and/or their boss to the risk of malpractice/inability to bill for the encounter.

    Don’t glue it shut, paint it shut with an acrylic paint or nail polish. Try to stick to the surface with the paint - you could even paint it to cover it/obscure it’s location as well.

    This way, if you ever need to remove it you can delicately dab acetone over it to dissolve the acrylic and it will open once again!
