Luistertip: Google verloor 100 miljard dollar op de beurs na de aankondiging van #Bard, hun #ChatGPT-concurrent.

@Felienne, @joevanburik, @ikbenechtben en ik hadden het gisteren over de (in mijn ogen onrealistische) verwachtingen van deze domme chatbots.

“Inmiddels is van het ooit zo indrukwekkende Philips alleen nog de medische technologie-tak overgebleven. Dat, en de onhebbelijke gewoonte van de topman om in het eigen vlees te snijden. Toen ik klein was, was de slogan van Philips let’s make things better. Maar de topmannen van Philips doen het tegenovergestelde. Hun beleid komt neer op Philips, let’s make it bankrupt.”

Kijk hier het programma van gisteravond terug, Samen Tegen Racisme: #Racisme in #Data en #AI. Mijn belangrijkste punt was dat we niet alleen de vraag moeten stellen hoe we mensen “eerlijk” kunnen profileren, maar vooral of we dat überhaupt moeten willen.

“Ook mensen die geen muziektraining hebben gehad, kunnen straks met een druk op een knop een hit schrijven.

Als generatieve kunstmatige intelligentie namelijk ergens goed in is, dan is het wel het eindeloos produceren van variaties op bestaande succesformules. Dat maakt popmuziek tot het perfecte domein hiervoor, want moderne popnummers zijn in hun kern variaties op een paar succesformules.”

My Wordiply game based on “dig”. The longest common word is 12 letters, I guessed a 14 letter word (digitalisation)

Because I've been asked privately a few times what I think of students using #ChatGPT to cheat with essays and stuff, just a very short word on that here:

It's completely understandable in a society that teaches people that degrees are more important than skills.

Uit de #column:
“Het is me dan ook een doorn in het oog dat er in de samenleving nog steeds op #VideoGames neergekeken wordt, want in deze spellen komt het beste van verschillende artistieke en technische vakgebieden samen.”

7/7 I don't think that cities should immediately jump into collaborating with Big Tech in figuring out what this digital equivalent of a park is. Because as @aral says: nowadays we confuse malls with parks.

We will start believing that Fortnite is a park. People come together there and have fun, right? Just like in a park?

Wrong. It's a mall. Yes, people have fun there. But it's all with a single purpose: to sell junk to you.

6/ That's where the digital-social dimension kicks in. Despite the total failure of the metaverse party of the EC, I think there's something positive about the attempt: at least there is a basic understanding that governments need to work on the digital-social dimension.

The problem is, they tried to build a café when they should have tried to build a park. But this is the question that nobody has an answer to: what is the digital functional (!) equivalent of a park?

What are your ideas?

5/ As I said, with the addition of the digital layer, cities need to consider two new dimensions. But most of the focus has gone to only one of these: the physical-digital one.

This is basically the IBM-pushed “smart city” idea: digital twins, data collection through sensors, data-driven decision making, etc.

I'm not against this idea. But you can't base a whole city on the concept of 'efficiency'. Google got kicked out of Toronto when they tried that (article linked).

4/ Let's start with the 'traditional' dimension, the physical-social one. What is the role of the municipality in that dimension?

Obviously, the way in which a city is physically constructed, shapes the social life in that city. If for example the streets are built in a car-centric manner, you won't see many people on bicycles or children playing on the streets.

And why do cities build parks? It's for fun, leisure, solitude, all the good stuff in life. But note this: cities don't build cafés.
