@Sckenai

hhmm. perhaps. not sure.
i was mostly referring to designs of technology being called "solutions" to one or the other alleged gap, rather to things on code level.
i can see how you might call a program that solves an equation a "solution".

immature tentative sigh of the #computer #science / #data science reviewer :

please ban the word "solution" from all your writing.
the world has no gaps, has no problems to which our technology is a "solution".

fine, we want to do certain things -
things that typically are much more likely to create problems and gaps,
than address any such naturally existing ones.

Say what you want to do, but please don't claim to provide the "solution" to any problem that we have not created ourselves.

also, a sentence like "You wanna get the AI done." is pure comedy gold ...

#Trump has said that he loves the poorly educated.
Trying to remove barriers preventing #AI from causing further harm to #human #intellectual and #cognitive capacity thus is perfectly coherent.

a bit more on #Dargslan - their/its sales pitch - it sounds like a pure "AI" operation

#thereIsNoAI

ps. i got interested cos their/its title list actually would be interesting ... shame ...

@nivex @tschaefer

99.something% certain #Dargslan is just an "AI" scraper -
perhaps tasked by a human.

check on Goodreads and Medium ... pure AI-speak on Medium, reviewless 5-star ratings on Goodreads, ...

@nivex @tschaefer

in any case, unusual for books to be published without any author ..

https://about.me/dargslan

@tschaefer

if Dargslan is an author's name, then they have produced an impressive amount of books and know things across many many fields ...

@audunmb @RanaldClouston @Ruth_Mottram

Just coming across this thread -
the Guardian's article main conclusion "Moving rightwards doesnt work for left parties" hardly holds up.
a/ it s not that easy to place tags "left" and "right" anymore, as you @Ruth_Mottram already indicate
and
b/ with very few exceptions (EHL), *all* danish parties have adopted far-right views on immigration, "race", color - and it has worked quite well for them, unfortunately

the massive occurrence of black time periods (fridays, weeks, months, ... soon whole years, who knows) is caused by dark matter.

@SuneAuken

og jeg/vi kommer gerne over til vores naboer

@SuneAuken

Dear colleagues here at #ITU #ITUniversity who read this and would like to be seen as active #fediverse users - whether here or on other instances:

Pls add your toot here

(switched to english for this purpose - the thread above discusses the role of #UniPåFedi ... universities on #Fedi ...)

@SuneAuken

Uanset hvor folk vælger at få deres primære instans, synes jeg det er vigtigt og rigtig at vi som #Universitet hjælper med at skubbe #migration til #fediverse i gang -
for ansætte, for studerende, for samfundet,

og at vi selv som #UniPåFedi bruger platformen for vores officielle #kommunikation .

@SuneAuken

Primært at du selv - ikke algoritmer du ikke har indblik i - bestemmer hvad og med hvem du kommunikerer.

Her på #ITUniversity #ITU er vi en #UniPåFedi - og deler gerne vores erfaringer med andre, hvis det var.
Vores Mastodon er p.t. kun til ansætte, og der må siges at alle dem som er #fediverse -aktivt har typisk deres *primære* instans andre steder - domain/fag-specifiske steder. Det giver mere mening for akademiker som tit skifter Uni, dog ikke deres arbejdsområder.
