Och tydligen var legenderna Kermit, Miss Piggy och deras band på plats också…
So many muppets in the World Cup halftime show.
Algorithms used in law enforcement and welfare enforce prejudice while displacing blame onto machines that responsible parties manage to convince the public as being neutral.
Exhibit A. SAFER in Ontario.
Black prisoners are assigned harsher living conditions in Ontario jails—thanks to AI ⋆ The Breach
Exhibit B. COMPAS.
Reporting from Pro Publica in 2016:
”Scores like this — known as risk assessments — are increasingly common in courtrooms across the nation.”
Exhibit C.
The Dutch childcare benefit scandal.
”Thousands of lives were ruined by a disgraceful process which included a xenophobic algorithm based on racial profiling.”
Dutch childcare benefit scandal an urgent wake-up call to ban racist algorithms
Exhibit D.
Discriminatory algorithm used by the French social security agence.
”The criteria that increase one’s risk score include parameters which discriminate against vulnerable households, including being on a low income, being unemployed, living in a disadvantaged neighbourhood, […]”
France: Discriminatory algorithm used by the social security agency must be stopped
Exhibit E.
Surveillance and discrimination in Denmark’s welfare state.
”Denmark’s transition to a digital welfare system now poses human rights risks and violations for social security benefits recipients.”
Exhibit F.
Use of Entity Resolution in India: Shining a light on how new forms of automation can deny people access to welfare
”[…] algorithmic systems in welfare can be error prone, which can result in mass exclusions of people from their entitlements […]”
Exhibit G.
Poverty and discrimination in Serbia’s welfare state
”Bogdan was one of possibly thousands of people who lost social assistance after the Social Card law entered into force in March 2022 and introduced automation into the process of determining [eligibility for social assistance].”
Trapped by Automation: Poverty and discrimination in Serbia's welfare state
Exhibit H.
Sweden’s suspicion machine.
”[The] Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan) has silently conducted large-scale experiments with algorithms that score hundreds of thousands of people on benefits, supposedly predicting whether they will commit fraud.”

The story of Messi, Lamine Yamal and the baby pic session for a Unicef calendar is fabulous.

I saw Linus Torvalds expressing concern over how ”AI-powered” bug hunters have made the Linux security mailing list unmanageable. So I sketched out a quick visualisation of this 😁
Olivia Guest is my favorite person to follow when it comes to calling out AI hype based on a deep and thoughtful understanding of it.
This point is so very important.
It's ok not to know things.

@olivia.science: Please consider not saying that some AI models or some statistical models are good, useful, beneficial, whatever else positive, in science if it's not your research area. It's ok not to know things. It's ok not to both side things. It's ok to ask colleagues who are experts.

Alla behöver läsa det här kapitlet, och beställa och läsa hela boken om man inte redan gjort det.
Planera in ett träningspass efteråt för att hantera upprördheten.
Älskar för övrigt raden "Det här kapitlet är redan för långt och behöver börja rundas av."

You may have seen it written about, but the whole segment where DJT admits to talking to FIFA about the red card is wild.

Trump admits he called FIFA chief about Folarin Balogun's red card: "That wasn't a foul"
You may be having a bad day but midfielder Jordan Henderson got a yellow card during the Mexico-England game, was later carried out on a stretcher with a broken wrist, surgery required, unable to celebrate with his team, and the world cup over for him.
Oh, and he DID NOT PLAY A SECOND in the game.

Good numbers! Yeah, the boring part is also what many people need help with. I've been running Cloudron for some years now to assist me with running all my apps and it's been an eye-opener. Just need to boost usability to "leave-it-alone-and-trust-it" levels 😅
Dreaming of inventing a hardware device that people can buy, start up and will run a server that can host your web presence in the form of a personal fedi instance, a ATProto PDS, a Ghost blog, document management, maybe even email and more, on a custom domain. A pre-installed plug-and-play VPS.

True, they control the Bluesky app and infrastructure (and relay). And they could block me. But they can't touch my data. And if they block me my data is safe and I can still log into other at proto apps.
if Bluesky dies my data lives on, including all posts and connections.
If I am on mastodon.social and that service dies, my posts and connections are gone. If I migrate from one instance to another in the Fediverse, my posts are gone and so is my username.
The potential of ATProto is intriguing.
