We are on the verge of a civilizational change. Yet outside of books, there is an intense philosophical void. Little thread.pic.twitter.com/26Hw6V87gO

Clubhouse: + finally a social network for extroverts + designed with incentives for politeness & open debate - the elitism (app name, invite-only, iOS only...) is unnecessary & exclusionary.

Over 1800 Japanese women accompanied their Zainichi Korean husbands to North Korea between 1959 and 1984, unaware of the hell that awaited them. Their stories have largely been forgotten by the Japanese public. Rare good journalism from The Guardian.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/feb/13/japanese-women-married-koreans-north-korea-family?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other …

More & more neural-networks are annihilating traditional handcrafted algorithms tuned manually. Adobe's warp stabilizer was impressive - but this (apart from rolling shutter artifacts to correct) is one of these new groundbreaking algorithms delivering what seems impossible.https://twitter.com/jbhuang0604/status/1360020525905551360 …

In my company, like most, bad news & mistakes have absolute priority, ensuring we fix them before they cause more damage. Business owners acknowledge shortcomings, self-correct & recalibrate as fast as possible: that’s the only way to survive & to be trustworthy.

By never going back to their mistakes, they never repair the damage & destruction they caused. They don’t rehabilitate the policies, the good causes or the people they destroyed. And it keeps them unaccountable.

Or “Now that we know the truth, we have to acknowledge that our coverage judged x preemptively, hurting its reputation, career, family... As journalists, we don’t always measure our power or wield it responsibly. We have to respect due process & presumption of innocence.”

Imagine journalists saying: “The truth is less simple than what we wrote, exposing a certain bias. We only covered x issue from this specific angle, and we missed the big picture, leading to wrong / incomplete conclusions. We vow to be more neutral & careful in the future.”

I’d love to see politicians like this: - In hindsight, we have to admit our policy didn’t have the outcome we intended... - Our handling of coronavirus was subpar. We could have acted faster & stronger. We’re fixing this to ensure we’re better prepared for future pandemics.

Two powerful castes avoid self-critique & never admit any wrongdoing: - politicians - journalists This is weakness, not strength. This attitude is a remnant of another era, and is incompatible with internet. Our societies would be healthier if they acted like the rest of us.

iPhone facial tracking. Indeed this could become a standard for humans, just like Megascans is for environments.https://twitter.com/yokohara_h/status/1359672157505167362 …

If we asked anyone 100 years ago what would be the purpose of futuristic machines capable of trillions of maths operations per second, and available to most... Do you think they could have imagined their current use?

50 years ago, we're toying with hardware signal processing to generate simple sounds. 50 years later, we can program & compute trillions (!!!) of mathematical operations, enough to render virtual humans at a frequency rate suitable for real-time.https://twitter.com/BBCArchive/status/1358788928505933824 …

I don't know how to reconcile my two thoughts on the prospect of indistinguishable virtual reality. It's both fantastic, and terrifying at the same time.https://twitter.com/timsoret/status/1083535111486877696 …

Bricks by brick, humanity is creating the toolset for an alternative reality. Combined with photogrammetry, deepfakes, semantic AI like GPT-3 for generating story & dialogues, and machine-learning speech synthesis, we're getting close to virtual TV shows & movies on Netflix.

Creating believable humans is out of reach for most studios, given the insane R&D necessary to develop world-class animation and rendering of skin, eyes, hair, teeth. Unreal Engine's solution: MetaHuman.

Undeniably,
@balajis has been my main Twitter discovery in 2020. The breadth, depth, boldness and conciseness of his thinking is no less than stellar. One of my favorite thinker, allowing me to refine the insane setting & themes of The Last Night.https://the-realignment.simplecast.com/episodes/ep-98-balaji-srinivasan-the-coming-decentralization-of-everything …Thanks.
