@scott @adtothebone I think the quotation is from John C. Bogle's book, Enough. Not sure about the book doing the quoting, though.
Intellectually I know it's Monday, but we're in the week after Christmas, which means that time has no real meaning and today might was well be called Glunday or Mirtday or Quangday, so, happy Nuufday, everybody
@vesto @rostiger it's a cheoy lee ketch!

Just like human kids can learn to hate or be biased by growing up in a biased world, AIs can learn to be biased or hateful too by growing up in a biased training set.

And since AIs need vast quantities of data to learn from, they have a tendency to learn from datasets that can't be sanitized away from encoding human biases.

So be careful delegating too much to them in critical decisions affecting humans. Often they are a mirror to society; and can reflect both its best and worst.

Notable that Marc Andreessen backed Elon’s Twitter takeover and is now also backing Post.news, Twitter’s main competitor outside Mastodon. Once again, you think you’re given a choice but the rich get richer either path you take!

This seems like an appropriate first comic for mastodon.
@steve thank you for all your hard work! 

@steve i guess the "perpetual motion machine" enthusiasts never die, they just cast their obsessions onto different machines from era to era.

thanks for the bittorrent analogy—and yeah, the crypto associations were what was making me 🧐
