@davetron5000 Hello from Brazil. I have the same questions and no answers.
@bsletten So awesome. Barry Gibb is one of the best songwriters to ever live. One of the things that shocked me in my 3 years living in Australia (1990–1992) was that we never heard The Bee Gees on the radio (maybe because of “tall poppy syndrome” or because the disco backlash was still strong at that time). It was like Australia had disowned them. I hope that’s changed now.

Meme perfection.
eli_oatHas anyone ever written about the power politics of microphones, audio quality and how they influence a remote meeting?
I leave so many meetings realizing that the people who had the most influence on the call were those with the best audio quality.
I wish people would realize that those who are qualified to build statistically-based, optimized, data-driven learning algorithms are not necessarily qualified to evaluate the larger notion of consciousness, how the human brain works, or how purely inductive reasoning systems are going to magically become self-aware and terminally-misaligned from a goal perspective.
We aren’t remotely close to AGI and you’re being duped by people with a strong financial incentive to convince you we are.

@michaelkeeling @RuthMalan That’s how I got my copy of The Design of Design … it’s from Bucknell University, first checked out in 1980!
@RuthMalan I'm pretty sure that's right. I had first heard of it in the preface to Brooks' book, but it took a recommendation from @michaelkeeling before I actually sought out a copy.
@lambdasierra Here's a good follow: @jessamyn, a librarian who often posts about her experiences helping older or non-tech-savvy people navigate online complexity. Those posts are often quite revealing about how complex and impenetrable our systems seem.
