I find that people who believe we might be living in a computer simulation tend to be people who I could imagine being simulated most easily by a computer.

7月1日から、千葉工業大学の学長に就任します。 日本で直面している主な課題の一つは、技術的なスキルを持つ人材の不足と、意思決定・政策立案に関与する技術者の不足です。この重要な課題と技術者のさらなる社会的地位向上に貢献したいと思っています。 it-chiba.ac.jp/topics/pr20230

If we're afraid of artificial intelligence and robots taking our jobs, stop education assessed by tests that an AI could pass.

I may sound a bit naive, but as I read more academic papers in fields that I work in, I realize that they tend to cite academic papers more than blog posts even if there are better blog posts than the cited papers. It makes sense, but just noticing more specifically first hand.

A key principle of a functioning democracy is privacy for citizens and transparency of those in power. Have you noticed we have the opposite? Most algorithms are in service of customers who want "predictions" that transfer of power from the poor to the powerful.

I can imagine an AI that can beat humans at games, but for most of us, life IS NOT just a game. Games require fairly clear parameters for winning. Personally, I don't think of life as something I'm trying to "win" at. I wonder if an AI can have Ikigai?

Realized that doing tons of email on the weekend burdens people who work with me who feel like they have to respond to them. I'm going to try an experiment where I will do no email on this weekend and do not expect replies from anyone this weekend and see if my world survives.

Met the King of Bhutan today to discuss bringing more mindfulness and harmony to society. (When you wear a tie because you’re meeting the king and the king wears a t-shirt because he’s meeting a tech guy.)

Started buying racist books to try to understand their arguments and now my Amazon recommendations are full of books about race with ambiguous titles about the science of race - Amazon thinks it MIGHT convert me into a racist.

One of my favorite things in the summer is to put boxes of books that I don’t need anymore on the sidewalk by my house and watch people browse them and take them. Usually all of the books are gone by the end of the day.

ElonがTwitterユーザーにTwitterのTokenをAirdropをする提案。なるほど。TwitterDAOか。
Quote Tweet
The deal is done. But the campaign has just begun. This is the true election. The establishment will throw everything it has at @elonmusk to preserve their power. To win, he needs a way to align all Twitter users behind him. He needs the Elondrop. balajis.com/elondrop/

Sincere question. Why do some people walk around talking on their smartphone on speaker mode like they’re eating an ice cream sandwich instead of putting it up to their ear normally?

A thoughtful analysis of the first 4 days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine from an expert.
Quote Tweet
Long thread about how I think the first 96 hours have gone, still very early/incomplete impressions. The initial Russian operation was premised on terrible assumptions about Ukraine’s ability & will to fight, and an unworkable concept of operations. Moscow badly miscalculated. 1/

Just finished reading “White Fragility” by Robin DiAngelo. As a non-black "person of color" I didn't strictly identify with either the oppressor or the oppressed but identified with both as well. Might be difficult for many white people to read but should be required reading.

Also, for those of you who are thinking "just design AI to make the world better" - better for who at what timescale? Shareholders/quarterly? Native Americans/7 Generations? Biodiversity/Centuries? (The answer to latter might be get rid of humans.)

Although my conclusion is still sort of crap, I sort of finished my dissertation. I will rewrite the conclusion tomorrow and proof read the whole thing again. It's 300 pages. It's due tomorrow.
