The Resonant Computing Manifesto
Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worst—a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.

*whispers* the web everyone dreams of and wants to go back to was not decentralized, federalized or democratic. It was a pub crawl and people like lowtax were your landlords

I wrote on @boingboing.net about the physics professor who became Uruguay's energy secretary, and within five years had the country on 98% renewable energy.

I will never pass up a slimline A-format paperback that looks like it was found in a mysterious rambling second-hand bookshop in an English village that isn't there the next day
If you are still looking for a "stocking filler" please bear in mind that "The Anechoic Chamber" is a slimline A-format paperback, so it fits snugly in a standard men's sock or the pocket of a winter coat. This also means savings on wrapping paper, postage, etc. and it's only £9.99.

The first principle of this is a load-bearing English middle class belief that all mental disorders are faked, that anyone sick for longer than a week is malingering, that people who say they are allergic to things are lying for attention, and so on.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

Last week @theverge.com published my essay exploring the limitations of large-language models. This week, that same essay is cited by a federal judge in Michigan to distinguish the process of human reasoning from what these models do. Very, very gratifying.

holy shit, an accurate legal critique of LLMs. LLMs don't reason because they're just stitching together plausible-looking sentences indifferent to the content

Disney can now have robot characters, and even Olaf from the Frozen movies, walk bipedally, around and over obstacles, around its theme parks.

Thinking "impressions" and "user reviews" are real is a true "dead internet" flag. Before 201X, journos understood the limits of these measures and their place in the web ecology. But then a new generation of rich kid dipshit started getting work in media and twitter impressions = nielsen captures.
This is innumerate nonsense. An average of 1.1 million people were watching The Simpsons throughout its entire thirty-minute broadcast according to a third-party data company contracted to measure viewership by Disney. Somebody, no way to know who, hit the play button 1.7 million times on Twitter

the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now
