La verità sulle storie delle intelligenze artificiali troppo intelligenti? Sono un modo nuovo per raccontarci storie di fantasmi, cioè per cercare di guardare nella oscurità al di là del fuoco attorno al quale ci siamo raccolti 50mila anni fa.

Money quote: “Some of Facebook’s AIs invented their own language, one incomprehensible to humans, at which Facebook’s researchers panicked and were compelled to pull the plug. At least, this was the story I heard on a Vanity Fair podcast. The host seemed deeply disturbed by the thought of these alien, almost Lovecraftian beings taking shape under the blithe gaze of an amoral tech giant.”

Elisir, amari, colori e belle donne molto svestite.

Money quote: “The color chartreuse is named for the liqueur. Like orange, which began as a fruit, this sharp and bright shade of green only secondarily became a color. According to legend, and to the Chartreuse official website, in the seventeenth century, the French diplomat and soldier François Annibal d’Estrées somehow came into possession of an “already ancient” manunoscript that gave instructions on how to make an “Elixir of Long Life.” “The manunoscript was probably the work of a 16th century alchemist with a great knowledge of herbs and with the skill to blend, infuse, macerate the 130 of them to form a perfect balanced tonic,” the poorly translated website says. D’Estrées gave this precious scrap of vellum (or paper, but more likely leather) to a group of monks living in a monastery outside Paris. The instructions changed hands a few times. It took over a hundred years for the monks to figure out how to properly brew the potion. But in 1737 they finally created a so-called elixir of health.”

Le colpe dei padri. Doloroso articolo di una figlia il cui padre lascia tutti e va in un ashram alla ricerca di se stesso, e invece tutti si perdono. Nonostante la narrazione potente non c’è un senso, c’è solo dolore. Fa paura, direi, entrare nella prospettiva di quella figlia.

Money quote: “Some years later, now running a commune in Tuscany, my father was to write a book called Wonder Child (1989). A self-help book for adults, it offered a guide to find the ‘magical world of innocence and joy within ourselves and our children’. It celebrates a child’s ability to live in the present with all its beauty and, following Bhagwan, denigrates the parental tendency to restrict and set rules. This, he writes, is what kills innocence.

Those families who raised their children within the ashram and at Rajneeshpuram were encouraged to give them up to the greater good of the multiparent family. It was forbidden, from the age of five, for children to sleep with their parents. Children were considered to obstruct their parent’s personal development. Many men, including my father, were encouraged to have a vasectomy on joining the movement; many women were sterilised, some when they were young.”

Posti che non esistono. Come fanno a nascere, per degli errori di digitalizzazioni, quartieri sconosciuti nel passaggio dall'analogico al digitale

Money quote: "IN SUMMER 2018, JEFF SISSON, a 31-year-old software engineer, was a new arrival to Queens, the largest borough in New York City by some 40 square miles. Sisson was getting to know his new environs by foot and bike, and one day while surfing Google Maps, he noticed something strange. He saw a designation on the map for something he had never heard of before, a place called Haberman."

Il New York Times racconta la storia di un vecchio libro che è la base del sindacalismo non sindacale nato dentro Google e Uber, tra gli altri big del tech

Money quote: "The book has been “incredibly helpful in thinking through options for action, ways of building collective power, and giving workers who often aren’t familiar with labor law some working knowledge that can guide decision making,” said Meredith Whittaker, a leader of the walkout who left Google in July after more than a dozen years at the company."

Il più grande "nodo" di albero al mondo è in Canada. E anche il secondo più grande. Se vi capita di passare vicino a Vancouver...

Money quote: "Weighing an estimated 30 tons, and measuring just under 20 feet tall and 20 feet in diameter, this giant natural outgrowth claims to be the largest burl in the world. It was removed from a tall Sitka Spruce tree (Picea sitchensis) on Vancouver Island in 2005, and brought to Port McNeill to be put on display in a waterfront park downtown."
