High-speed threats in a shared public space axbom.com/high-speed-thr…
Great explanation of how ethicists provide value.
This is a beautiful piece that made me reflect on the times I've hurt people, why it happened and how I can act differently moving forward with this knowledge.

@worldsayer @BenGitsCode @leeloowrites @Cennydd @epenzeymoog I share Eva's interest in seatbelts. It's a paraphrase that keeps on being relevant, knowing now that more women die or are injured in car crashes due to lack of crash test dummies with female body types.

@jakobper I always find it fascinating how Goodreads put so much effort into hiding that they are a subsidiary of Amazon… =)
Det är ett farligt tankefel att mördar-robotar kommer anta skepnaden av monstruösa, mekaniska maskiner. Istället har mördar-robotar (bland många andra förklädnader) börjat anta skepnaden av webbformulär som automatiskt avgör om människor ska få ekonomiskt stöd eller inte, medicinsk hjälp eller inte, arbete eller inte.
Artikel 22 inom GDPR (Dataskyddsförordningen) ger dig rätt att inte vara föremål för automatiserat beslutsfattande. Det är en rättighet som kan bli mer och mer relevant att hålla koll på.
A dangerous fallacy is that killer robots will take the appearance of monstrous, mechanical machines. Instead, killer robots have (among many other disguises) taken the appearance of web forms automatically determining if people are eligible for financial assistance.
It's nice to not have to be held responsible for a decision that hurts another human being.
I’ll provide links to examples of automated decision-making in my next newsletter, and outline more of the dangers.

Excellent walkthrough by @CarissaVeliz and a great primer on Apple's double standards when it comes to privacy.

I've done enough coaching to recognize that I am in a stage of transformation. I'm disillusioned, searching, discovering, evaluating. This could continue for months or years. Still, I'm excited to find out what's after this phase. 🐛
”We have official constellations that are quite arbitrary, based on some discussion by essentially a few white guys a century ago, whereas we ignore the constellations of various Indigenous peoples even if we're on those peoples’ lands”

“[…] we can no longer monitor our cultural signals that tell us about the seasons or ceremony timing, or even access our knowledge, as much of it is stored in the sky. If we cannot access our skies, we cannot practice our culture.”

My heart goes out to all the people confused by how the same country can occupy both first and second place in this list over the world's most innovative countries.

This 1995 piece by Clifford Stoll is a cult classic example of predictions gone wrong. But sometimes I read it and wonder if there are a few things he did get right.

”Every voice can be heard cheaply and instantly. The result? Every voice is heard. The cacophany more closely resembles citizens band radio, complete with handles, harrasment, and anonymous threats. When most everyone shouts, few listen.”
”What Internet hucksters won't tell you is the Internet is one big ocean of unedited data, without pretense of completeness. Lacking editors, reviewers or critics, the Internet has become a wasteland of unfiltered data. You don't know what to ignore and what's worth reading.”
”[…] this nonplace lures us to surrender our time on earth. A poor substitute it is, this virtual reality where frustration is legion and where—in the holy names of Education and Progress—important aspects of human interactions are relentlessly devalued.”
Immediately made me think:
Metaverse™ – Surrender Your Time On Earth.
Important topic to understand, or be aware about, when it comes to the complexity of color perception. x.com/aexmo/status/1…
I’ve been a huge fan of Indi Young’s work for many, many years and was super excited for James and myself to have her as a guest on UX Podcast. Design is ready for a shift towards better care for human wellbeing and I believe we need thinkers like Indi to guide us on this path.
