Seems that all algorithms are described as AI these days. Obviously a great way to confuse people and inflate the value of anything you’re working on.
If the edge-case happens because of how your platform works, then YOU ARE designing for edge-cases. You can only choose to be more or less oblivious to them, meaning you are either a power of carelessness or one of responsibility.

Flashback to that series with the puppet dinosaurs... with this little awesome baby dinosaur. And it was actually called "Dinosaurs". I really want to watch it again.
Remember that special character that could make the Twitter app crash? Funny, huh? Now imagine if someone could put a sticker on a road sign and make a self-driving car crash. Or what if someone could just control all your personal devices from afar... mobile.nytimes.com/2018/05/10/tec…
The real question to ask is not if this is happening or will happen (it obviously is and will) but who will be accountable when humans are hurt.

@cwodtke Understanding how people use computerised systems so that we can tell the people who make computerised systems how to build in order to better help people perform specific tasks. (off the top of my head 😁)
@cwodtke I actually see it as the basis for the stuff I do and was a bit taken aback by the words "obsolete" and "old" expressed by others in this thread.
Humanity has moved from pursuing 15 minutes of fame to pursuing 15 minutes of fucking downtime.
1. Why AI is till waiting for its ethics transplant.

2. "When tech giants build AI products, too often “user consent, privacy and transparency are overlooked in favor of frictionless functionality that supports profit-driven business models based on aggregated data profiles"
"3. Meanwhile, AI systems are being introduced in policing, education, healthcare, and other environments where the misfiring of an algorithm could ruin a life."
4. The AI Now 2017 Report is an important read. assets.ctfassets.net/8wprhhvnpfc0/1…

My favorite part in this video is the sign that says ”Nice! You have now run as far as Vasa sailed. Good luck with the rest.” (The Vasa ship sailed 1300 meters before it sank). #StockholmMarathon x.com/thevasamuseum/…
More on how the media just loves to get things wrong, and mislead, when they convert scientific research to clickbait. x.com/stuartjritchie…

Quite pleased with this response I had for Dave. If you draw this same concept across a timeline it of course turns into two sine waves, except the oscillations are ever smaller over time, destined to flatline. x.com/axbom/status/1…

@davegray I do so many different things these can be seen as pendulums that sometimes overlap and are sometimes further apart. I think I need the movement to keep things exciting.
@davegray The older I get, the slower they move, I can see them more clearly, they overlap more - and the more content I feel.

@owenil Upplever dig som oerhört klok och balanserad! Du blir absolut saknad.
How have Microsoft managed to kill the previous possibility of having a custom voice message for your Skype voicemail? I set up a scheme for managing calls and it now fails miserably when I discover Skype is just a blob of unhelpfulness.
