Tools and worksheets seem to pop into my head all the time. This one came to me as I was having lunch.
The AI Spoon. A simple artefact to aid discussions around #DigitalEthics and #ResponsibleAI.

This is a such a great interview with @_jessiejsmith_ on teaching AI ethics.
Her quick rant about the lack of definition for AI is gold.

Slowing down good decision-making is better than speeding up bad decision-making.
Which one do you think the retweet button favors?

@danielgiertz Givet den respons jag får när jag tar upp detta i föreläsningar känns det inte som det är kunskap som fastnar. Jag har inget minne av det från skolan. Men det vore oerhört intressant att veta hur många lärare som regelbundet tar upp detta när man pratar om världskartor.
@danielgiertz Ur mitt perspektiv skulle jag förstås gärna se att man tar upp det långt tidigare än gymnasiet...
Jag hör många idag säga "Covidpass", även nyheterna och public service i olika sammanhang. Men jag hör ingen prata om att ett webbhotell i Tjeckien registrerade domännamnet covidpass.se förra året, den 30 mars 2020, och på sidan man kommer till används inte SSL.
Om man vill hjälpa människor hitta rätt så bör man se över hur man pratar om covidbevis. Och kanske ha en bättre strategi för hantering av domännamn generellt... om man nu vill använda nya domännamn som covidbevis.se

@brad_frost Just got this. For a tool I have a paid account with using another email address. Now I'm thinking of canceling because of their "professional persistence".

@polaris So within the purpose and context of the thread, and the blog post, what do you think needs to be clarified?
Nearly 3 billion people, or 37% of the global population, have never used the internet.

@BenZissimos I love that. I remember reading a story about a person who after a few years discovered the underground ride they had made to work every day was faster to walk 😅 Can't remember which stations that was though.
↪ Replying to @Scott_Matter
@Scott_Matter Many argue that it is inspired by Dymaxion but I don't think that has been officially stated.
↪ Replying to @polaris
@polaris Yes, it appears based on Mercator, which is what the "M" in UTM stands for?

@polaris
@polaris I'm not sure how to interpret this. Historians appear in agreement that the map was designed as a tool for marine navigation. Your argument is that it was not?
