We aren’t convinced. In fact, we think the “AI revolution” is just a natural evolution that we’ve seen before. Consider, for example, radios. Early on, if you wanted to have a radio, you had to build it. You may have even had to fabricate some or all of the parts. Even today, winding custom coils for a radio isn’t that unusual.</p>
<p>But radios became more common. You can buy the parts you need. You can even buy entire radios on an IC. You can go to the store and buy a radio that is probably better than anything you’d cobble together yourself. Even with store-bought equipment, tuning a ham radio used to be a technically challenging task. Now, you punch a few numbers in on a keypad.</p>
<h2>The Human Element</h2>
<p>What this misses, though, is that there’s still a human somewhere in the process. Just not as many. Someone has to design that IC. Someone has to conceive of it to start with. We doubt, say, the ENIAC or EDSAC was hand-wired by its designers. They figured out what they wanted, and an army of technicians probably did the work. Few, if any, of them could have envisoned the machine, but th

I don't think I need to share any more thoughts on #currentevents . I used to feel I had insights, now it just feels like I'm better at complaining :D

Telling me you don't watch/read the #news and #currentevents indicates to me that you are in a definitive position of privilege.

As a #transwoman I follow news sources because every day, my #humanrights are slowly being taken from away from me. And, at the very minimum, I need to at least have a basic knowledge of why some random piece of shit #transphobe is now boldly and loudly blocking me from doing some tedious daily routine. And then, what I can do, legally, to defend myself and my dignity.

Common Dreams confirmed a few days ago that Washington purchased facilities in Arizona, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Texas in recent weeks.

They are pursuing options in Georgia, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and New York.

What is a news source from your part of the world that others could follow to get some local perspective on things? My list of news, comedy, and public discourse entities has Boston and New York City covered pretty well, but otherwise there are a lot of gaps. I would appreciate any lead. Who do you follow or check in with?
