Some Things Are Not Technology Issues.
Some years ago, I served on a Board for a residential community – something I haven’t put on my CV and don’t intend to – and everything was falling apart, largely because the lessor wasn’t doing their fair share, which is another story altogether.
While I was on the Board, I took interest in the office because information, which we didn’t have much of because of the lessor, needed to be stored.…

Another Other.
I came across something in the vein of ‘others’ yesterday when I was researching ‘TikTok, History and Issues‘.
It was in ‘Young Americans are defending the U.S. after TikTok videos criticizing it went viral‘ (emphasis mine):
“…Shami, who grew up in a multi-language household with a Syrian father and Irish-Catholic mother, said she often feels she’s labeled as “other” because she’s an American…

'Running Water'
This morning I woke up with a question: Why do we say that water runs, but it never walks or crawls? Instead it runs slowly, or it drips?
It ends up this is a peculiarity of English. In researching this, Merriam-Webster surprisingly has ‘running water’ as a noun. It’s two words, an adjective and a noun, but they went with making it a noun which demonstrates how steeped it has become in the…

The Dark Side of the AI.
It didn’t take as long as we expected. Last week, a former school athletic director got arrested for framing a principal.
Being a campaign year, I thought that most of the AI hijinx would revolve around elections around the world – and they are happening – but I didn’t think we’d see early adoption of AI in this sort of thing. And an athletic director, no less – not a title typically known for…

Almost A Month of Mastodon: Thumbs Up!
On April 1st I joined Mastodon, eschewing centralized social media networks because I felt like an experiment rather than a participant.
My experience so far has been great. I have some followers, not a lot, and I follow about twice as many as I follow (a good metric, I think). I interact with smart people, some who know more than me, some who know less, but everyone’s pretty polite.
It’s a…

DHS Artificial Intelligence Safety And Security Board Has Some Odd Appointments.
Now that we’ve seen that generative artificial intelligence can be trained ethically, without breaking copyright laws, the list of people to the DHS Artificial Intelligence Safety and Security Board seems less than ideal.
The Board is supposed to ‘advance AI’s responsible development and deployment’ (emphasis mine), yet some on that Board took shortcuts.
Shortcuts in relation to any national…

Criticize By Creating.
Daily writing promptDo you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?View all responses
If we truly look at we humans have achieved over the centuries, what we have created, it has been a reflection of how we wish to improve things.
A sculptor looks at stone and wishes to make it in a different image, an artist finds a way to decorate a blank canvas, a writer empowers imagination…

Copyright, AI, And, It Doing It Ethically.
It’s no secret that the generative, sequacious artificial intelligences out there have copyright issues. I’ve written about it myself quite a bit.
It’s almost become cliche to mention copyright and AI in the same sentence, with Sam Altman having said that there would be no way to do generative AI without all that material – toward the end of this post, you’ll see that someone proved that…

"Free Speech" And Social Media.
I’ve seen plenty of folks talking about ‘First Amendment’ and ‘Freedom of Speech’ in the context of TikTok, as I saw on Facebook, as I saw on…
All the way back to AOL. Strangely, I don’t remember the topic on BBSs (Bulletin Board Systems), mainly because everyone on those generally understood the way things are.
As a moderator on websites in the early days of the Internet right up to WSIS, I…

Categories Schmategories.
When I read “Genres as Crushers of Creativity” by Jude Berman, I was happy.
I hate categories, and to read someone else talking about how categories in the publishing industries crushes creativity, I was tempted to find a parking lot to dance naked in until I realized people might not appreciate that sight as much as I might enjoy doing it.
So judgemental, humans.
Maybe it’s because of my own…

Introducing Sequacious AI
Sequacious AI will answer all of your questions based on what it has scraped from the Internet! It will generate images based on everything it sucked into it’s learning model manifold! It will change the way you do business! It will solve the world’s mysteries for you by regurgitating other people’s content persuasively!
You’ll beat your competitors who aren’t using it at just about…

Connecting Dots.
When you read a lot, you find connections. I recently found an example of this through the Marginalian, with the article “The Source of Self-Regard: Toni Morrison on Wisdom in the Age of Information“1.
We could all use a bit of wisdom in the Information Age.
The quote she pulled that got me interested was by Toni Morrison, who was many good things but was not an information scientist – yet she…

Reading Write.
Throughout my younger years, as a student, whenever the book list came out for the next year and it had literature, I would read all the literature books over the course of the summer before school started again, and then I would read whatever else I could find.
My father’s novels were pilfered of their words, from Robert Ludlum to Louis L’amour to James Clavell to… well, he didn’t read as…

The End Of Non-Compete.
The FTC banned non-competes agreements, and I wish that this had come a few decades earlier. Non-competes kept me from starting businesses and even working for competitors in the past, though more as a matter of honoring the agreement than any legal threat by a former employer.
When you do specialized work for companies, as an employee or a contractor, that non-compete agreement was always a…

The Misplaced Star.
I awoke to some light creeping through the windows, late for me since I generally awake when it’s dark. My watch was charging, so I didn’t know the time, but it was time for coffee. I made a pot as my mind began catching up, thinking of the dream I just had.
The dream had stuck with me. I played through what I remembered. It had felt like I needed to accomplish many things in my dream. It was an…

Across Generations.
Writing is how we passed information on beyond our lifetimes. Many cultures did it verbally prior to it, but with the advent of writing it became easier. Of course, the ideas that were published made it further than those that did not, and those that controlled what was published controlled the way we read history. That’s pretty well accepted now.
Within that we got biases in what was passed…
