I've been a long-time advocate for #HumaneTechnology. Social coding commons adds something to that to become "humane and harmonious technology". Humane by default. #Humanity is an intrinsic value of the movement. And harmonious by #SocialCoding. Coding is social, and first of all deals with people coordinating to find solutions that align with and satisfy stakeholder needs. Coding happens somewhere in the process, an impl detail.

A core principle of Social experience design is Sustainability, which is holistic in nature via the (adapted) Circles of Sustainability model. https://coding.social/blog/reimagine-social/#circles-of-sustainability

With this in place a #SX software solution will cycle through its Free software development lifecycle i.e. #FSDL, which drives a tailored development based on needs and lifecycle phase. https://coding.social/blog/reimagine-social/#free-software-development-lifecycle

Together this completely avoids a pure technology-driven development, ensuring Needs-driven development, and a natural NIMBY of inhumane technology and practices.

We find novel ways to collaborate and create value together.

SX Circles of Sustainability.

An adaptation of the model that is more suitable for technology innovation and introduction of new technologies into society. The model removes the #Politics circle and adds an all-pervasive #Technology circle.

feeling disgusted while listening to a conversation with army officials and the Center for #HumaneTechnology about about how #AI warfare can be more "ethical".

wtf?? how did the bar drop so low?? "humane" my ass. definitely going to stop taking CHT seriously & redirect my attention to grassroots & labor movements like #NoTechforApartheid & the #TechWorkersCoalition.

#technology #tech #war

The more I learn about #HumaneTechnology, the more sensitive I become of greedy decisions like this.

They could have at least buried a setting under the Apple TV+ section of the Settings app, but nope.

Another excellent podcast from the Center for Humane Technology. Children are being negatively affected by social media and we need to advocate for change. ‘Moms for Humane Technology’, pay attention and get more active.

The A.I. Dilemma - March 9, 2023

Could someone listening to this #HumaneTechnology podcast episode let me know if #AzaRaskin eventually demonstrates #reflexivity?
https://www.humanetech.com/podcast/talking-with-animals-using-ai

Had to stop listening because of the #CognitiveDissonance of Raskin offered #HumanHumility as a solution to the #ClimateCrisis only to get into their “Three Rules of #HumaneTech” with regards to some #AIhypers attempting #InterSpeciesCommunication.

Talking With Animals... Using AI

Despite our serious concerns about the pace of deployment of artificial intelligence, there are use cases for the technology that can help us better understand ourselves and the world around us. Your Undivided Attention co-host Aza Raskin is also co-founder of Earth Species Project, a nonprofit dedicated to using AI to decode non-human communication. In this episode, Aza presents the machine learning breakthroughs that will soon make talking to animals a possibility - and the ethical implications that come with it.

[See earlier message -- continuing]

6) Acceptance (and the Arms Race): I think the main thing in the way of AIs becoming therapists is that people won't trust this. The main thing that will make it happen is persuasion that they can be trusted (either by AIs themselves or marketing from insurance companies wanting to save money by not paying human therapists). This is where the current arms race from all the major AI companies comes in. Microsoft is incorporating AI into Bing & other programs. SnapChat now has an AI present 24/7 willing to talk to any of millions of lonely souls about anything. A few years of people chatting with AIs on non-therapeutic topics should build trust of AI to perform therapist jobs.

So... about the only thing we can be sure of is that we are going to get surprised by the abilities of AI to become therapists. But yeah, this is really about so much more than therapist jobs...

The presenters have formed The Center for Humane Technology ( humanetech.com ) -- "Our mission is to shift technology towards a more humane future that supports our well-being, democratic functioning, & shared information environment." A very quick look reveals lots of financial backing (including the Ford Foundation) but no obvious support from the major companies racing to deploy AI as fast as possible into every aspect of our lives before we can see where this is going & create laws to deal with it (OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, etc.)
