Developers are truly weird beings. Deep inside they know that software is just inert, soulless. Structured prose that can be copy-pasted, morphed, thrown away.

They also know that, because of the social dynamics of software, sometimes the only way to make progress is through creative destruction. Starting from scratch and build something that is worse, but better.

And yet they develop an emotional attachment to cherry-picked softwares and feel pain when said destruction happens.

🎉¡Hoy tenemos ¡muchos motivos para celebrar!
🥳Las 10.000 socias es la primera gran meta que nos pusimos en El Salto cuando lo creamos en 2017 y hoy, 6 de septiembre, la hemos alcanzado🥳

El Salto supera el techo de las 10.000 suscripciones

Tras la campaña de verano, superamos por primera vez en la historia larga del proyecto la cifra de 10.000 personas socias, un objetivo que nos pusimos hace siete años.

<Reply Guy Mode> "PowerPoint!? But that's MicroSHIT!! You should use WhigZam2! Simply make a pull request from github for the GloomBloop Environment and install Key7ipter (pronounced 'kay-ster') and it'll run on any Linux Xanadu box from the command prompt!!! It produces beautiful outputs each time!" **posts picture of a graph that looks like MS Paint did it ca.1994**

The Moral Implications of Being a Moderately Successful Computer Scientist and a Woman

I recently reached a few high points in my career that coincided, not coincidentally, with some of the worst harassment of my life. It made me reflect on how my career has been defined as much in terms of misogyny as technical excellence (I’ve garnered quite a CV in both), and how I have struggled t

Y otra cosa: que un modelo sea "open source" no mejora esto en *nada*.

¿Acaso una bomba nuclear hecha con GNU/Linux y Software Libre® es mejor que una bomba nuclear "privativa"?

(Que por otro lado, qué tontería de pregunta, si las bombas y los aviones que las lanzan _ya_ están hechas con Software Libre®. Ya sabéis, la Libertad Cero.)

Comparemos la "IA ética" con la "moda ética". ¿Qué es la moda ética? Lo contrario de la moda rápida. Por tanto: materiales extraídos de manera responsable, salarios dignos en origen, emisiones de carbono por transporte controladas (es decir, producto local), hecha para durar.

Por tanto ¿cómo vamos a decir que la "IA" es "ética" si está hecha con datos robados, entrenada por personas precarias en el Sur Global y consume agua y energía a borbotones?

Veo demasiada gente despistada así que vamos a dejar una cosa clara.

La "IA" tal y como está planteada hoy no se puede usar de manera ética ni responsable.

Sí, es útil (para ciertas definiciones de utilidad). Pero no nos hagamos trampas al solitario por favor.

Public policymaking: from AI to decomputing

AI seems to offer many benefits to public policymaking, but it can't address the tricky structural issues that impede actual change.
