(10:31:44 AM) Matt: alright so when you want to start playing fs17
(10:31:59 AM) Dan: you bought it??
(10:32:04 AM) Matt: not yet
(10:32:08 AM) Matt: but i did say i would
(10:32:15 AM) Dan: oh man its going to be so boring
(10:32:17 AM) Dan: i mean fun
(10:32:20 AM) Dan: I meant fun
(10:32:31 AM) Matt: dicks in the cornfield with the combine 24/7
(10:32:42 AM) Dan: depends on how successful we want our farm to be
(10:32:51 AM) Dan: if we want to be the green giant then no dicks
(10:32:57 AM) Matt: successful enough i can draw a dick that can be seen from space
(10:33:15 AM) Dan: that would be impressive
(10:33:21 AM) Matt: that's what she said

okay right, so are going to trust cars to drive themselves
let's get to that point before we let robots kill people and decide who lives or dies themselves
related, www.wnyc.org/story/its-us-versus-algorithms/
this segment is really interesting about how we're letting algorithms do a lot of things which can be good, but can also often be really deterimental to the people who are on the losing end, if we're not careful
(interview with this lady who wrote a book, used to work at DE Shaw - tech hedge fund - and saw the negative affects of it)
like algorithms that go into criminal sentencing, or health care decisions, or loan approvals, etc
very interesting
algorithms also tend to have strong white or male bias at the heuristic level and is a big concern
also outsourcing decisions to algorithms has the danger of freeing us from our responsibilities/consequences of decision making and is a bad thing too
I think I saw this linked elsewhere, but I am immediately biased against listening it by the cutesy title 'it's us vs algorithms'
I believe strongly in a future where a lot of stuff is algorithmically determined and on average everyone is better off for it, and I view said future quite favorably.
But if it it vital, I will put it in my list for listening material during gaming.
I pelted that kid with my hatchet and pick in rust and beat him with my rock, but ultimately he finally hit me as I strafed around him. He shut up super quick as soon as I started beating his ass in with the rock and he missed 5 times with his shotgun point blank.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

The fundamental problem that algorithms are created by biased people is hard to avoid
It really captures the inherent problems of rationalism and scientism: the fact that you can cloak something in the guise of objectivity and rational authority when it is still very much subject to bias.
I tried for a few years to get sarah to agree to a two twins setup
oh and also the two twins will be in different bedrooms
Raise each one of the twins in isolation of the other with opposite socioeconomic conditions, and teach them competing ideas about race, gender, and social welfare.
Roommate was charming the heck out of my downstairs housemate last night and he ended up mentioning that like, he thought I was clearly nice but sort of frigid and boring
Then Pinecone came to visit, and they met and got to talking, and he thought pinecone was strange and cool, and then clearly we were cute and gross, and then well
"Well you know. Walls are thin. I was like 'oh, yeah, these two seem like a cute couple' and then I was like 'oh, damn, jeez what? Fuckin... get it girl. Mad respect. Puttin my headphones on.'"
I grew up in snow so Seattle was a big change in the winter. I think it was my Soph or perhaps Frosh year that the "big" snow hit over there in the 90s and the city shut down for a couple of days. I didnt care really but it was shocking to me at the time that just a couple inches would do that heh. Then I found out why. Damn people cant even drive in the rain.

it's a quick listen and worthwhile i thought
don't let title written by a new yorker editor put you off
there are lots of good things that come from algorithms, but it's important to watch out for the dangers and pitfalls in refining them and making sure we use them wisely and not blindly
i forgot to @ you on the above @credeiki but yes it's worth a quick listen, and that article is interesting if you want to go more in depth
(which is why that whole nytimes article about leaving the decisions to kill in the hands of algorithms in drones is even scarier... )

basement flooded last night again, we got it all sorted out tho, at least for now
when i came out of my room to see it though (just a couple inches covering 10 feet by 10 feet) Thanos was stranded in the middle of it, sitting on top one of his toys
like he could easily jump the 2 feet to dry ground
but there he was just stranded because of an inch of water

Sure although...the pedant in me which I try to keep down generally says "BUT an algorithm is just a set way to solve a problem and you can have an algorithm for baking a cake; it doesn't mean making decisions through nebulously trained neural nets--if that's what we're worried about"
Humans follow algorithms and heuristics to decide on recidivism rates too, sometimes explicitly ie via checklist and sometimes just in their head where it can be more ambiguous, and those are also biased processes and automation is just nottttt the problem here!
Automatic targeting, if shown to actually be functional under a variety of lighting/weather conditions, at the range of relevant resolutions, and for subjects with varying degrees of occlusion--and with mechanisms in place to disengage if the target isn't found--is good! Why is this worse than a human operator? Is it because we really want someone to feel guilty about pressing the red button I guess?
I suppose it's true that historically a lot of sodiers didn't really aim their guns at the enemy and just kinda shot, and as such there's something to human targeting leading to fewer casualties (but a less effective army...), but...I'm not sure that really applies to the way war is conducted now...

eeeeeee I am so jealous!

yes like I said, like ark
