@hfalcke I can see what you’re saying. I wonder if it’s just a matter of scale… folks with sub-1k folks to interact with is manageable with lists and “self built algorithms” but once you’re over a certain threshold you start wanting some help managing social interactions…

@hfalcke just give people strong list and filter tools. That’s all humans need. I can create a “firehouse” list and a “don’t miss list” and a “do they ever post?” list and check on them whenever I want. Keeps us in control and tweaking as we need. An algorithm is not needed. Even the simple […]

The tech billionaires expect people to lose the will to boycott their shit and just wait it out. The steady stream of people returning to X shows they are right. I won't join the stream.

#CFB #collegefootball the fact the announcers end the UofGA 3-point win over #Bama broadcast with “Georgia got a little lucky tonight with officiating calls…” tells you all you need to know. Such a fun slugfest and solid game by both teams. Such a shame the refs wound up deciding it.

This is such a cool print of a necessary reminder. “History From Below” is a corrective lens with which to look back in history for lessons for the present day: where “from below” means all the rest of us, the "99%" if you will, who toil below the minority ruling class….History From Below is […]

Adding this to my notebook as I think through it all… is this just what “lock in” is? Or is it just “change is always hard”? Even if there”…something new that they want…” there will still be friction in changing, so what’s the framing to help with expectations and the move? So much to think […]

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

APStylebook @APStylebook
X.com
Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.
