#TristanHarris, former #Ethics at #Google, and co-founder of The Center for #HumaneTechnology once told me - after the Center had just come out of a full year of strategization - that their primary concern was no longer #TimeWellSpent i.e. healthy #smartphone habits, but instead they were very afraid for "the complete unravelling of the fabric of #society and wars".
Which hit home, hearing it from him, who with other board members of https://humanetech.com have the rolodex to be in-the-know.
There is a #HumaneTechnology list under umbrella of https://delightful.club indeed. I moved it away from #github as part of a ditch github campaign.
The #delightful club itself has exactly the same concept as #awesome lists on GH, but are meant exclusively for #FOSS, #OpenScience and #OpenData related resources.
Everyone who has an appropriate list topic that has their passion can curate their own list in an independent repository they maintain, and it is included.
#Reminder: Wicked #solutions are holistic. Collab direly needed. Lend #SX #commons support.

Yes, I posted a #FediverseIdea 2 years ago, posing that we need #botiquette besides #netiquette .. got a bit of follow up, but it should really be turned in to an #ActivityPub #FEP best-practice guide.
#FreeWilly? How large is the % of your #WorldImprovement #mission part of the #WickedSolution to #Freedom.
So #SteamboatWilly may surf #society and #life, be #happy again, escape the monster?
For instance if you are #PirateParty.
(Whose HQ astoundingly has no #socials pointing to #HumaneTechnology #SocialWeb channels. No #fediverse or #fedi account AFAICS. So randomly picking @ppdelft )
PP What percentage of our #technosphere is dystopic, needs #patching?
The #artist is Anton Gudim. Here is more of his brilliant #artwork, many on the theme of #HumaneTechnology :

#SocialMedia is not #SocialNetworking but a particular subset thereof. I personally reserve it exclusively for the corporate #BigTech variant, because people have such strong associations. "Socials" and social media big techz.
The kind "that leads us to the complete unraveling of the fabric of #society and wars" to use the same ominous words of Tristan Harris, formerly at #Google as #Ethics adviser, in 2019 when he explained the new strategic direction for the Center of #HumaneTechnology to me.
feeling disgusted while listening to a conversation with army officials and the Center for #HumaneTechnology about about how #AI warfare can be more "ethical".
wtf?? how did the bar drop so low?? "humane" my ass. definitely going to stop taking CHT seriously & redirect my attention to grassroots & labor movements like #NoTechforApartheid & the #TechWorkersCoalition.
The more I learn about #HumaneTechnology, the more sensitive I become of greedy decisions like this.
They could have at least buried a setting under the Apple TV+ section of the Settings app, but nope.
Another excellent podcast from the Center for Humane Technology. Children are being negatively affected by social media and we need to advocate for change. ‘Moms for Humane Technology’, pay attention and get more active.

@seldoncrisis If you didn’t yet see the talk being quoted, I highly recommend it! (And following The Humane Technology foundation in general)
Could someone listening to this #HumaneTechnology podcast episode let me know if #AzaRaskin eventually demonstrates #reflexivity?
https://www.humanetech.com/podcast/talking-with-animals-using-ai
Had to stop listening because of the #CognitiveDissonance of Raskin offered #HumanHumility as a solution to the #ClimateCrisis only to get into their “Three Rules of #HumaneTech” with regards to some #AIhypers attempting #InterSpeciesCommunication.
I highly recommend the latest Your Undivided Attention podcast from the Center for Humane Technology entitled “The AI Dilemma”. Tristan Harris explains some of the risks we should anticipate & deal with before we get too far along the path of AI development, which is happening at breakneck speed.

Teens and young adults who reduced social media use for just a few weeks experienced significant improvements in their body image.
“Reducing social media use is a feasible method of producing a short-term positive effect on body image among a vulnerable population of users and should be evaluated as a potential component in the treatment of body-image-related disturbances"
Tristan Harris has explored the influences that hijack human attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs, from his childhood as a magician to his coursework in Stanford’s Persuasive Technology Lab to his leadership as a Design Ethicist at Google. Today, he studies how major technology platforms wield dangerous power over our ability to make sense of the world and leads the call for systemic change.
