There are some truths that when you think about them, they can inform your actions. The biggest one is that there is enough food that no human should go hungry. There are enough resources so that everyone can have shelter. The fact that we have hunger and homelessness is a direct result of billionaires and the lack of will to fix distribution of the food and houses. It is a direct result of greed. -> more #NoBillionaires #hunger #homelessness #taxbillionaires

👋 The Present Migration from Computer Networks to Person Networks

From the very beginning of the networked computer age, the canonical node in this network has been a computer.

But we’re witnessing a major shift in progress, a migration if you will: from networks of computers to networks of people.

What the web was missing, as it turns out, was a concept waiting in the wings all along…

From my #blog featuring excerpts from @robb & @cdevroe:

The only sport I watch daily is not what it was.
I knew the Dunning-Kruger effect wasn't valid, but thanks to this post I finally understand why: "The Dunning-Kruger Effect is Autocorrelation"

The Dunning-Kruger Effect is Autocorrelation – Economics from the Top Down

Do unskilled people actually underestimate their incompetence?

Happy Buy Nothing Day to those who celebrate.

The reason I don't believe we have achieved or are close to achieving AGI is because there is no evidence we have AND, worse, *I want humanity to achieve AGI*. That bias makes me want to seek evidence for it. It's a massive red flag to be extra critical.

AGI could be a huge lift for our species. Think: undiscovered physics, new medical sciences, etc.

We want these things to happen which makes it *the perfect con*. 🚩

Be skeptical.

College football sound design is obnoxious. Very hard to hear the commentators over the drums, crowd noise, and VFX transition sound. #ucla
