The BIG Problem with Modern Calc Books

In Samskritam, there is a saying: विनाशकाले विपरीत बुद्धिः | meaning, "at doomsday does the intellect plot its own downfall¹." Well done, Ka @kaburbank.bsky.social for creating wide awareness around the abominable true state of what is perpetually sold to us under the guise of a beneficial wonder.

Lovely. US is proving us right in the primitive phases of ware(.) abuse. A swift take down is ideal for monsters, before progression's alarming stages; but wit works too.

They pushed back on Flock AI surveillance. Now their votes are being overturned.

When people think of hay in the context of a sanctuary, it's of course going to bring one thing to mind- food for the horses! What many don't realize, is that hay is a safe place to land. Hay is warm, can be built into a nest, can embrace bodies that once only knew cold concrete. Hay is home.

To this & the immediate reply we say: Absolutely correct. Hasn't changed, the m.o has further passed into the hands of the next set of incorrigible wielders of power. We shall quell them yet. Parampara chalati asti eva |

But to equate bottom-up, community-led struggles for linguistic sovereignty and continuity, to a sentimental hoarder's tight grip on useless junk? Same as it ever was. An unbroken lineage of sneering dismissal of the agency, expertise, and autonomy of the people under your boot.

movement #CJP is moving, deeply so; an apex accreditation for any such moral project, alongside alignment. Speaking of which, accreditation in the learning process at a national level cannot be a farcical bunglement costing aspirants'...1/

Wetware is long due...but in an incorrigible society where god's gifts, inherently wet, have no value & see active adoption of unthinkable replacements, we don't bet on rational timelines.

In 2024, Americans installed 79 million square meters of synthetic turf —enough to carpet all of Manhattan and then some. While the plastic-making industry insists that synthetic fields are safe if properly installed, lots of researchers think that isn’t so.

Speaking of goals & matches (What a massive win whaled in by Spain), here's definitely a goal-match! @mskellymhayes.bsky.social 's new output on human-over-statistical might just glaze over what it is we do.

Wow - repurposing truly satisfies. Why, only a while back we converted an old doogee smini into a Nix machine with traffic routed through WebLibre. Convenience, Power, Security, performance all in 1 - neat!

🎶Can you use old mobile phones as a synthesiser? The Galaxy S3 was a very popular phone. Now it's a prevalent example of e-waste on Marktplaats. We tested a prototype instrument and gave the device a new life! https:/waag.org/en/project/recomposing-e-waste

Eerie yellow spot got you quaking? Natural reaction to unnatural engineering. This tucks any idea that we're before time deep into a garden bed, as it were. Whether in time? Time will tell. Even if a save isn't, a try sure is. #Wit

We're always saying 'Artificial Cleverness'! Penrose (be orch-or F), coined an apt phrase to accomodate quantum compute & decisively distinction unthoughtly barrages of homomorphy from consciousness. World models hold their own too when this terminology segragates & contains ungainly statistical ml.

How to talk about “AI” without adding to the anthropomorphization. Suggestions: “artificial intelligence → probabilistic automation” & “AI agent → probabilistic, unverified software manipulator”. Seems like the horse is out of the barn on this though… [buttondown.com]

Artifically clever (ac) ml running amoc would've had a hellenic stoic panic. They behave crued unchecked, & remorselessly remedy upon authorised suggestion, though neither tap into root meaning-making processess. But the impact (ripple effect<-slop in training data, downstream misinfo) is real. 1/

Google DeepMind is calling for the moral behavior of large language models—such as what they do when called on to act as companions, therapists, medical advisors, and so on—to be scrutinized with the same kind of rigor as their ability to code or do math.

Jul 8 was to be 1st signal, but here we are on the 9th. We are delighted to say, mu has been outperforming it's promise. Sifa, marq & other recent portal teleportees seem determined to harbinge the sovereign. Swiss, 🇧🇪 & 🐑 ball trend swings were invigorating to witNess. Wrote in 8 worldviews, matter.
