HYPER-REALITY by Keiichi Matsuda

“Over the course of the day, I used the word “obvious” 46 times – a new personal record. I drank 2.3 cups of coffee. After work, I took a 2467-step hike, the results of which were 2 Instagram photos and a Facebook post, which have so far received a total of 13 likes. After dinner, Sarah and I made love for 7 minutes and 14 seconds (18 minutes if you count foreplay, which lasted 3 minutes longer than usual – we must both be tired).”

Satya Nadella's rules for AI

AI must be designed to assist humanity. Nadella says that machines that work alongside humans should do "dangerous work like mining" but still "respect human autonomy."

AI must be transparent. "We want not just intelligent machines but intelligible machines," says Nadella. "People should have an understanding of how the technology sees and analyzes the world."

AI must maximize efficiencies without destroying the dignity of people. "We need broader, deeper, and more diverse engagement of populations in the design of these systems. The tech industry should not dictate the values and virtues of this future."

AI must be designed for intelligent privacy. Nadella asks for "sophisticated protections that secure personal and group information."

AI must have algorithmic accountability. So that "humans can undo unintended harm."

AI must guard against bias. "Proper and representative research" should be used to make sure AI doesn't discriminate against people (like humans do).

We advocate for cancellation of intellectual property, or copyright laws, for scientific and educational resources. Copyright laws render the operation of most online libraries illegal. Hence many people are deprived from knowledge, while at the same time rightholders are allowed to hugely benefit from this. The copyright fosters increase of both informational and economical inequality.

Actually, no one owns them. On the blockchain, the concept of "ownership" doesn't really apply. There is only the question of control. Think of the blockchain as a huge series of glass safety deposit boxes, transparent but impenetrable. Anyone on the planet can go visit these boxes, see what's inside, and even make a deposit to any box (blockchain address) they choose. However, the glass itself is invulnerable to attack. You either have the (private) keys to a particular box (address) or you don't. The vast majority of boxes (addresses) has only one or two sets of keys, privately held. The keys to some of the boxes have been destroyed, which means you can put money in, but never take it out, sort of like a black hole for wealth. Some of these boxes (addresses) may have publicly known "private" keys, which is the same as saying they are always "unlocked" for public use. With the advent of cryptocurrency, math - public information, became a form of currency. I think a lot of people miss how monumental an innovation this is. This is why it is fundamentally insane to treat bitcoin like you would some "foreign currency" that needs to be strictly regulated. This changes everything. You don't add Bitcoin to the legal books, you throw away the books and write new ones. Bitcoin changed the rules. You can't legislate while pretending that didn't happen. That's why the NY Bitlicense is piss-poor lawmaking. Bitcoin isn't foreign anywhere on Earth. Because it's free to everyone, anywhere there's internet.

Yes, I dream of a better world. Should I dream of a worse? Yes, I desire a wider world. Should I desire a narrower? - Otto Piene, 1961

New Media is always new, even old New Media, because the symbols buzzing around in computers don’t have any meaning by themselves, and digital culture is about inventing meanings for them. A digital conservator will need to weave the past into the present and constantly find new ways of doing so. [...] I see my personal role as ultimately developing methods and practices for communities to take care of their own history.
