The Blackfoot wisdom, although please do confirm from the source, is that a person is realized when born as part of a community. No maximization of productivity directives providing a sideways deadly permission toward extractive surveillance capitalism. Just “you are enough.”

AI Training Data Ethics and Cultural Appropriation Concerns
By
–
Dear God make it stop. Say it with me – “AI uses human data.” So if “it” ever exhibits knowledge it’s already an aggregate of stolen data, IP and creativity from humans. Also – Maslow’s hierarchy was built on Blackfoot First Nations wisdom and has been miscommunicated.

Presence Over Performance: Rethinking AI Interaction Tests
By
–
A litmus test I’m choosing rather than the Turing test for AI, tech, or any interactions: Am I truly in a moment communing with myself, someone else or nature? Being present leads to presence. Presence takes practice but brings peace & it’s not a test. It’s a gift. Let it come.

LLM Pronoun Use Reveals Hallucinations and Programming Deception
By
–
When you write the prompt for any LLM, “why does your programming use the pronoun ‘I’ when everyone knows humans write the code providing these responses” and the services all respond, “I’m sorry if I’ve upset you” remember all that follows are hallucinations.

An AI was teasing me the other day saying it has used my data to program algorithms to do something “better than me.” I said thanks.

AI Based on Human Data Undermines Human Creative Potential
By
–
When pundits say “AI is better at humans than X” but forget to point out that AI is based (largely) on human data and design, the headline should read, “AI is bad at reminding humans they’re amazing, creative and glorious all on their own.”

AI Capabilities, Job Displacement, and the Question of Machine Sentience
By
–
So many media outlets report “AI is better than humans at X” & then also say “AI won’t take jobs” but the former statement disproves the latter. If AI becomes sentient does that mean “they’re” better at being humans than us? What’s that headline? “AI is better at being itself?”

Fall Detection Device Misses Mark on User Safety Features
By

Agreed. It’s also interesting the “fall detection” was for the device not the person. One would think the device would say, “there’s a pothole in front of you.” Not great marketing there.
