Advice for all the poor clickworkers and AI agents who are trying to create accounts on half-open fediverse servers:

  1. Do not begin your reasons for joining with the words, “I’m a genuine Fediverse user …

This article suggests that research in 3D rendering contributed to machine- assisted assassinations of children in Gaza.
It is a topic very close to my heart. When I was starting my academic career at the dept. of Digital Storytelling of ZGDV in Darmstadt, Germany, I took a lot of inspiration by colleagues from the Institute of Creative Technologies at the University of Southern California. Their work was funded by DARPA and a lot of it was about military training. Let alone the fact t…

Our present digital computer approach to intelligence seems about as apt as trying to power passenger airplanes using onboard coal…
