I just sent Joichi Ito’s dissertation on how we can intervene in complex systems over to my Kindle: https://joi.ito.com/the-practice-of-change.html #mit #joiito #change I am looking forward to getting lost and then feeling my way back out of the dark.
I rage-quit Twitter at the end of November in 2016. As someone who has worked in online communities for close to 20 years, I couldn’t stand being a member of a community where the people in charge cared so very little for their users. We worked very hard at Flickr to make sure that people were safe. Your company isn’t the government and you can delete any account at any time for any reason. If you create a community, it’s your jobs to ensure that it’s safe for all.

Been digesting “Alien Knowledge” a.k.a. computers that have decided things are true but we can’t understand why - this morning after stumbling upon https://backchannel.com/our-machines-now-have-knowledge-well-never-understand-857a479dcc0e
Oh, wow, remember stumble upon?
Anyway… I like the idea that we want to understand things…. but I’m not convinced we have to understand them for them to be true.
Also, maybe theory of relativity applies to ‘knowledge’ AND time?
Oh, hey, April 27th. What's up?
