I remember opening my dad’s Bible when I was a child. His mother gave it to him, and I suppose it was the Bible he used as a teenager and young adult. Her life was cut tragically short. She died when he was only 17, and she was sick for most of his childhood. She...Read More| Your Mom Has A Blog
A photographer on Instagram stops people on the street to take their photos. He approaches them and asks for permission, snaps a few pictures, and then he pays them a compliment. Most of the time, he calls them beautiful. Then he lifts the camera and captures the change. Eyes that were a little distant moments...Read More| Your Mom Has A Blog

Clara and I were watching 74 Gear, when Kelsey pointed out an interaction between a pilot and an air traffic controller. Note the language the controller uses: Conntroller: Lindbergh 4570, did the tower give you that right turn? Pilot: …… U-uh, we were given direct to HVQ. Controller: Lindgergh 4570 okay roger! Kelsey refers to these as “we need to talk” questions, because they instill the same dread, doubt, and guilt; even if unwarranted. As a pilot, the tone and delivery of such que...| Rubenerd
We haven’t had a links post for a while. Not to be confused for a links post, which could be used to read a links post. About lynx. Do I need Kubernetes? The answer may surprise you.

The leading MMORPG of the time has lessons for how social tech phenomena may progress. We had a big early centralization, and a larger second centralization, and later lots of nostalgia, but it’s all so fractured now. What’s next for social media and our institutions? Social media is a new technological force shaping our society. Can we find any examples in history that will give us clues as to how things will develop? Yes, the humble MMORPG was one of the earliest online social networks ...|
A good product or service has to do more than just deliver value to a customer, it has to appeal to some deeper underlying desire that was put into our human nature to ensure our long-term survival. In fact, all successful products and product categories are fundamentally hacking evolution in this way. Let me demonstrate. The easiest place to start seeing this pattern is in simple consumer goods. The food industry makes us desire food of previously unheard-of caloric density. That’s hacking...|
Our society is grappling with the meaning of our fundamental rights in the present day: freedom of speech vs freedom of reach, the right to privacy in a world of social media, etc. You also hear calls for a new set of rights, beyond the set given to us by Enlightenment thinkers generations ago. These new rights are based on physical goods and services: the “right to housing”, the “right to health care”, etc. Rights to goods and services are a distinct entity from the rights that we kn...|

Objective I’ve been thinking about morality as it relates to the future of AI. In order to clarify my thoughts, I imagined a discussion with Sam Harris, who has covered this topic in numerous podcasts and talks.

I’m not sure that we stand in exactly the same place on this issue, but I hope that in the context of this conversation, our...|
The original Blade Runner showed us that two replicants can fall in love. This makes sense, because a replicant is almost indistinguishable from a naturally-born human. Made with the same biological building blocks, they should have the capability for the same emotions as humans. Blade Runner 2049’s main character, the more advanced model replicant K, has a different love interest: a “virtual” holographic girlfriend by the name of Joi. Can the human emotion of love exist between two suc...|

Now that the Online Safety act has come into effect and the inevitable consequences are starting to play out, I decided to email my MP to try and find out what the Government intends to do to unpick the mess.

The events of last week presented quite a challenging question. Should you attempt to address the issue of friends consuming and accepting misinformation, or do you simply accept it as a sign that it's time to break contact?
