US Surgeon General: ”There is no evidence that social media is safe for kids”

A refrshingly pragmatic conversation that does not just go around the issues.

Personally, I would remove ”like” button mechanics and follow counters from users under 16. And mandate strong age verification. By law.

Yeah, sorry, but parents just aren’t up to the task of changing how addictive software design and chilhood development interact!

@e_urq This is a great success story, but also I see a lot of why’s about how fear of ”disruptions” works in the favour of the very same people who would cause those disruptions.

This is essentially fear of violence working in favour of those delivering the threats, instead of those who would like society to be more peaceful.

If allowed to continue, it can allow society to be taken hostage by threats of violence. Which again increases the threat of violence!

This is how proto-fascism develops

“Haha lol banks use 60 year old programming languages!”

Yes, young whippersnapper, that’s because they need things to be reliable and not change all the time, the code probably has to run for another 60 years.

“Modern” devs could learn a lot from not trying chase every trendy new framework and every shiny new programming language.

@thomasfuchs Yup. We just love building and fixing airplanes while they are still airborne! 🙂

But it’s a culture thing, really. That Silicon Valley creed of moving fast and breaking things, and maybe still some of that Age of Aquarius New Age stuff laying around too.

We don’t think of it, because culture is the language we speak and the air we breathe!

Aika ajoin tulee mieleen että "leikkaaminen turhasta byrokratiasta" ja "atk:lla tehostaminen" usein tarkoittaa sitä mitä esim. terveydenhoidossa on tapahtunut: yhä isompi osa asiantuntijan työajasta kuluu rutiineihin kun pitää itse hoitaa asiat jotka aiemmin hoitivat rutiineita pyörittäneet ihmiset.

@teemuki @juuhaa @henrik @AaroSahari Ne on ne mallit siellä takana mitkä sanoo että vois tehdä tehokkaammin sellaisia että perustuvat aika kylmän jäykkään ihmiskuvaan.

Aika usein unohdetaan että ekonomia on ihmistiede siinä missä sosiologia ja psykologiakin. Se että se on matemaattista piilottaa alleen sen, että se on yhtä lailla riippuvaista oletuksista ihmisen toimintamalleista kun kaikki muutkin ihmistieteet.

Mary-Jane Rubenstein gets super deep in the proverbial weeds here. And it’s very clear, even if we forget it most of the time:

To the as ”resources” is ultimately a thing to do. The that prepared us to think that way is right there in the first book of the , Genesis.

gives the earth to humans to do as they please with, and places humanity above the rest, separate from it.

More on the importance of religion in how societies & moralities are built here. The case I often make myself is made also:

To become Western, Educated, Industrial, Rich and Democratic, we really had to go through a long pipeline of first religion to give us the axis of destiny, and then from catholicism to protestantism to move us to the primacy of intent and the individual.

Trusting the stranger is at the root of what enables large-scale co-operation.

In the will replace everything, even you and me, even everyone's social media accounts.

Imagine: You won't even have to update your feed, AI will do it automatically for you; posting stuff, reading replies, liking, boosting ...

clicking links to ads, buying imaginary things with imaginary money ...

it will all be automated with AI

gimulnautti,

@lydiaconwell Funny but maybe not funny.

I think people will rush to have their feed curated by AI. And it will become mandatory for success as life and work moves increasingly online.

The metaverse is just that: When online provides all your needs. AI is more efficient at that than humans.

The loss of access to Twitter data under the new pricing plan was a dire blow to our research at the UW-CIP.

Now being forced to delete the data that dozens of people spent years collecting, curating, and studying—outrageous. It’s like burning lab notebooks, an attack on science for the sake of pure malice.

(UPDATE: it appears that the deletion mandates may not apply to us given our data use, but they are still devastating to the groups affected.)

@ct_bergstrom @juuhaa Elon Musk has definitely taken his stance: The modern mission of the commons as a basis for good for all is not within his interests.

This commons in science used to be a basis for more research that supports innovation on a general level, nobody in particular benefits but society does as a whole.

His vision supporting the far right is just a logical extension: His megalomania has metastacised and now tries to secure permanent power with what it took from the commons.

gimulnautti,
@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

@ct_bergstrom @juuhaa It used to be that even industry leaders recognises that their workforce was grown, raised & schooled by the commons. But they seem to be dropping that piece of wisdom one-by-one.

Private industry is great for innovation. But it is not great for calling the shots in what we aim for as a society in general.

The amalgamation of state and private industry has great examples from recent history: They were all instances of fascism more or less.

@philosophy Practical from :

Why is the claim: ”Everything is fair and equal because the same rules apply to everyone” a ?

This cornerstone of modernity has eventually been shown to be false, because it is based on the assumption that humanity experiences ”the world as it is”.

Cognitive & computational neuroscience have strongly pointed toward Kant’s description of human experience to be the correct one: 1/3

@apodoxus Great! Good to hear :)

@pinecone @philosophy Hi! I encounter this claim regularly in groups, and out on the street when doing political campaigning and discussing with people having that particular political stint. With liberals, unless very much on the right, it is not generally an issue.

gimulnautti,
@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

@pinecone @philosophy Yes. You have found my point: Rules become paradoxical because of human experience. And since I am not in the US, my world of politics has separate left/right and liberal/conservative axes, I want to say conservative specifically. Many in the liberal right back home do not fall for this fallacy, while almost all on the conservative right do. And those there that don’t generally avoid the conversation, because they are aware of their power base.

gimulnautti,
@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

@PatternChaser @pinecone @philosophy Yes there is a third axis: Libertarianism/Authoritarianism, which I avoided to add confusion.

But since conservative libertarianism is kind of a no-go, I though I’d go ahead anyway. 🙂

gimulnautti,
@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

@PatternChaser @pinecone @philosophy I don’t see how that relates?

If there are three axes: Left/Right, Liberal/Conservative and Libertarian/Authoritarian, doesn’t it give the definition of any party three degrees of freedom?

Two parties could be both libertarian but still be different on the other two..

Granted, there are some empty corners on this model, but I would say at least six have real political parties around the world in them.

gimulnautti, (edited )
@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

As to how US politics maps to my model, both parties are right of center with larger differences on conservative/liberal and authoritarian/anarchist axes.

Personal liberty vs Economic liberty in my mind translates pretty well to left/right traditional definitions, which is a good finding from Nolan.

The similarity on the left/right axis gives both parties a high number on economic liberty. Libetarianism probably is a thing defined by itself, and has no place in my model. I have misunderstood.

gimulnautti,
@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

@PatternChaser @pinecone @philosophy I think both US main parties are definitely economically right, with dem a bit more center. On the kind of liberty they work for is different though. Rep are for economic liberty and Dem for personal.

Nolan’s chart is pretty good for US politics https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nolan_Chart

In it, bottom-top axis is authoritarian/libertarian. But maybe he didn’t go far enough. Perhaps the third axis is really Authoritarian/Anarchist.

gimulnautti,
@gimulnautti@mastodon.green avatar

And yeah. I’m not US, either. I think in the context of US politics though, left/right matching is especially problematic with the rest of the world.

Yet, for a whole population that provides much of the cultural content for the rest of the world, it’s entirely natural to talk in terms that ”don’t make sense” in contexts where it is received.
