#SealevelJustice and now #TimeForUBI panels both highlight the need for a better way to quickly integrate large, well-curated datasets into conversations. Another project I need to pick back up. #wiscon
#SeaLevelJustice panel touched on NYC's Big U project to protect lower Manhattan from floodwaters - at the expense of the rest of the city. Compare Scape Studio's Oyster-tecture project. #wiscon
Annalee Newitz's explanation of the Ashley Madison community being mostly isolated straight men talking to female-presenting chatbots reminds me of Donald S. Lowry's "Church of Love" scam: a pre-Internet pen-pal network pairing men with "Love Angels" (fake female personas, sometimes portrayed by actresses at face-to-face events) purporting to build the utopian haven of Chonda-Za. #SubtleDangersofAI
Really enjoying #WisCon this year - the #SubtleDangersofAI panel is off to a particularly good start.
