One of the most self-healing activities you can engage in is:
figuring out what you want.
Not everyone is granted the time to do this. One of the best gifts you can give is the time and empowerment to figure this out. To yourself and to others.
Wishing you a healing weekend.

Why do I get the feeling these robots are distracting us from whatâs really going on?

Here's the thing. In interpersomal communication we listen to feedback to understand if a person is upset, harmed, confused or misinterprets.
If an unsupervised AI is not programmed to interpret feedback it can continue to harm people indefinitely.

I have to say, my degree in communications science is becoming more and more useful in my work, writing and teaching. A latency of 20+ years isn't too bad. đ
Putting any quote on top of an image of a famous person seems to totally short-circuit the human brain into truly believing that the person must have said exactly this. Would love to read a study on this phenomenon.

Okay... just learned about the StopTheMadness extension for Safari that stops browsers from disabling standard UI features, like copying and pasting text. The web is now at a point where developers can make money by blocking the blocks. Well played, @lapcatsoftware!

That Gartner has picked digital ethics as a strategic trend is significant. The next step is to help people to not focus so much on the philosophy of ethics but instead on avoiding negative impact by listening for it.

A good way to ignore the needs of the quiet ones is to simply ask for feedback but never seek it out.

@writebeard @lissijean Haha, you did have me looking like a question mark there for a moment.
âȘ Replying to @lissijean
@lissijean I don't think you can do more than that right now. Probably the advice of a professional repair shop would be the next step. Hope everything turns out ok.
âȘ Replying to @lissijean
@lissijean Perfect.
@lissijean The problem with tap water is that itâs not pure (Iâve recently helped my son study for a chemistry test so Iâm like really into this đŹ) The water will evaporate but there may be residue, salts and minerals, that has made itâs way in and attached itself to components.
@lissijean Thatâs why you may want to talk to someone about cleaning it inside before trying to start it up yourself.
âȘ Replying to @lissijean
@lissijean Turn it off completely and pull out the plug and wait at least 48 hours before turning it on again... :/
@lissijean Turn it upside down (keyboard face down) to keep liquid from seeping further in.
@lissijean You may want to dab the area with a paper towel, while still upside down.
@lissijean If the battery can be taken out that's recommended. Want to avoid anything that carries a current.
Two important insights from the Hippocratic Oath:
1) Allow others to make choices that you may consider bad for them. It's their choice.
2) You don't always have to be at the top of your game, but recognize when you are performing in ways that can harm others - and tell people.

@SarahHGlanville @Acuity_Design Alastair is constantly evolving. We've had him on but it's hard to keep up with his explorations and insights! Our most recent episode with Alastair was #175. Always worth a listen. uxpodcast.com/175-human-centâŠ

@Acuity_Design Attended a talk before the summer on dyscalculia. Super interesting. I had no idea how much it impacts the consumption of web content.
