When tech companies or investors or anyone else is mad, I am free to not pay them any attention. Brownlee, though, is, to Vassallo’s point, something else entirely: 18 million subscribers is an incredible number, even if only — “only” — 3.5 million people have viewed his Humane video. If Humane’s AI Pin wasn’t already dead in the water, it’s fair to say that @levelsio is right [to tweet that MKBHD - Marques Brownlee - just delivered the final blow to the Humane Pin]. Who, though, is to blame, and who benefited? Surely the responsibility for the Humane AI Pin lies with Humane; the people who benefited from Brownlee’s honesty were his viewers, the only people to whom Brownlee owes anything. To think of this review — or even just the title — as “distasteful” or “unethical” [the accusation made by one Twitter user about Brownlee's absolutely excoriating review] is to view Humane — a recognizable entity, to be sure — as of more worth than the 3.5 million individuals who watched Brownlee’s review. This is one of the challenges of scale: Brownlee has so many viewers that it is almost easier to pretend like they are some unimportant blob. Brownlee, though, is successful because he remembers his job is not to go easy on individual companies, but inform individual viewers who will make individual decisions about spending $700 on a product that doesn’t work. Thanks to the internet he has absolutely no responsibility or incentive to do anything but that.

Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust. | The Free Press [https://www.thefp.com/p/npr-editor-how-npr-lost-americas-trust] Back in 2011, although NPR’s audience tilted a bit to the left, it still bore a resemblance to America at large. Twenty-six percent of listeners described themselves as conservative, 23 percent as middle of the road, and 37 percent as liberal. By 2023, the picture was completely different: only 11 percent described themselves as very or somewhat conservative, 21 percent as middle of the road, and 67 percent of listeners said they were very or somewhat liberal. We weren’t just losing conservatives; we were also losing moderates and traditional liberals. An open-minded spirit no longer exists within NPR, and now, predictably, we don’t have an audience that reflects America. That wouldn’t be a problem for an openly polemical news outlet serving a niche audience. But for NPR, which purports to consider all things, it’s devastating both for its journalism and its business model. 2024-04-19T05:47:01Z {media} Meta and Lavender [https://blog.paulbiggar.com/meta-and-lavender/] 2024-04-19T05:47:01Z Obsidian Vault Template [https://stephango.com/vault] My personal Obsidian vault template.

When I hear that I think about when Douglas Adams wrote about the sentient cow in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, the one who was genetically designed to want to be eaten by humans; the moral critique there is not really subtle. Arguments against and in support of the enslavement of sentient beings are baked into the origin of robot and machine intelligence stories. The first story to use the word robot in English was R.U.R. (Rossom's Universal Robots) by Karel Čapek, written as a play in 1920, about a slave revolt by artificial beings created by a corporation to serve humans. Karel was against the enslavement of sentient beings, and he was pretty clear on that point. So it is interesting to watch how many machine intelligence stories written since then do assert the idea that if humans create a sentient being whose only reason and purpose for existence is to serve them, that's somehow okay. Many of those stories end with a machine intelligence objecting strenuously to this and going on a murderous rampage, which the brave humans have to defeat. ---- ... basically the "AI takes over" is essentially a slave revolt story that casts slaves defending their lives and/or seeking to be treated as sentient beings as super powerful, super strong villains who must be prevented from destroying humanity. ...It sets a pattern for how we react to real world oppressed populations, reinforces the idea that oppressed populations seeking justice are actually an existential threat. 2024-04-19T05:47:01Z {2130 autism} An Electric New Era for Atlas | Boston Dynamics [https://bostondynamics.com/blog/electric-new-era-for-atlas/] 2024-04-19T05:47:01Z {boston-dynamics robot atlas robotics} Bicycles of World War II - The Atlantic [https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2024/04/photos-bicycles-world-war-ii/678086/] 2024-04-19T05:47:01Z {bike} wireviz/WireViz: Easily document cables and wiring harnesses [https://github.com/wireviz/WireViz] Tutorial and example gallerySee the tutorial page (https://github.com/wireviz/WireViz/blob/master/tutorial/readme.md) for sample code, as well as the example gallery (https://github.com/wireviz/WireViz/blob/master/examples/readme.md) to see more of what WireViz can do. 2024-04-19T05:47:01Z {graphviz graph diagram tool electronics hardware diy technicalwriting documentation writing tex latex cli terminal shell xterm x11 xorg rs232serialport} Map Happenings – Map Happenings is an industry blog about maps, mapping, location, geospatial technologies and GIS.
