I study technology communities, their cultures, and their ethical impacts.
@alex my secret desire is to have a alt feed where all the researchers I follow only post about their personal interests
Recently I thought, why doesn’t someone create a tutorial on machine learning for non-technical audiences? After probably 80+ hours working on such a tutorial myself that is probably still super confusing, I feel I have the answer.
@ampanmdagaba this is what I like about it! It is not a normative framework. Instead, the approach is intended to help a group (e.g., design team, engineering team, etc.) articulate what it wants to prioritize in creating a product or project and to think through how to do it. That is, the method helps you figure out the “what” and “to what values [it is] sensitive”
Just started reading Value Sensitive Design by Friedman and Hendry, and I cannot believe how relentlessly practical it is! Love that.
@randomdent Friendster!
Andrés Monroy-HernándezI attended my first academic event about blockchains/crypto. Quick takeaways:
🔨 Blockchains continue to be a solution in search of a problem.
🔺 Open cynicism in the crypto community about its Ponzi-ness.
⚖️ DAOs are effective but resemble primitive democracies from the 1800s.
🦹♀️ Financialization of everything is a magnet for bad actors.
✂️ Smart contracts are hard. Even a simple rock-paper-scissors game is hard to program because it exposes the other player's answer.
