THE FORGOTTEN HISTORY OF CHINESE KEYBOARDS characters via a software interface, known as an input method editor. But this was not always the case. Thomas S. Mullaney’s new book, The Chinese Computer: A Global History of the Information Age, published by the MIT Press, unearths the forgotten history of Chinese input in the 20th century. In this article, which was adapted from an excerpt of the book, he details the varied Chinese input systems of the 1960s and ’70s that renounced QWERTY altogether. https://lnkd.in/deKj7Q2M

📳Are you also puzzled with the spread of misinformation in social media?👉 Join our #SCIoI event #DistinguishedSpeakerSeries on 18 April where Serge Belongie (University of Copenhagen) will be "Searching for Structure in Unfalsifiable Claims"! 📚 🎙 In this talk, Professor Belongie will outline some promising directions for identifying the prevailing narratives in #shared #content (image & text) and will explore how the associated learned representations can be used to identify #misinformation #campaigns and sources of polarization. While advances in automated fact-checking are critical in the fight against the spread of misinformation in social media, he argues that more attention is needed in the domain of #unfalsifiable #claims. 💬 Professor Belongie has a long history of award-winning academic contributions and entrepreneurial achievements, among others in the areas of #computer #vision and #object #recognition. 👁️🗨️ At the moment he is the director of the Danish Pioneer Centre for AI and professor in the Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen - DIKU. 🗓 18 April, 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm 📍 MAR 2.057, Marchstraße 23, Berlin https://lnkd.in/e5kU_DEj Don't miss this opportunity to engage in discussions about the #technical, #scientific, and #political aspects of AI and social media. Our DSS lectures are open to the #public and #free of charge, providing a platform to explore intelligence from diverse perspectives. 🙌 See you there! 👀 #SocialMedia #UnfalsifiableClaims #Polarization #ArtificialIntelligence #LearnedRepresentations #AutomatedFactChecking #ScienceOfIntelligence #ComputerScience #Innovation ✨

Great article! Today, typing in Chinese works by converting QWERTY keystrokes into Chinese characters via a software interface, known as an input method editor. But this was not always the case. Thomas S. Mullaney’s new book, The Chinese Computer: A Global History of the Information Age, published by the MIT Press, unearths the forgotten history of Chinese input in the 20th century. In this article, which was adapted from an excerpt of the book, he details the varied Chinese input systems of the 1960s and ’70s that renounced QWERTY altogether. https://lnkd.in/dSHSh9qn

On this, I agree with the skeptics. The hypothesis in this opinion piece is: AI will provide better wages for low and middle class workers because the work of skilled workers such as doctors, lawyers... etc can be made more accessible to more people with the help of AI. And because these previously low income workers will now be doing much more valuable work (at least by market standards as indicated by current pay scales), they will also be better compensated. First, just by the fact that 'anyone' can now do the work of a doctor, if the salaries are high, then everyone who has a low paying job will have an incentive to change to these new AI assisted jobs; and this oversupply of workers will bring down the wages. Second, in sensitive applications (medicine, law, cyber security) a specialist is valuable because they can assess complex and rare scenarios - those edge cases. And this is the very place where current AI systems are not as good. Honestly, if this skeptical take is completely wrong, it would be fantastic. But, left to their device, I don't see how companies would suddenly decide not to exploit workers when there is an abundance of them.

Always worth reading what @davidautor has to say and tech and labor. Can’t wait to read his longer paper!

Full Stack Software Engineer | Interested in Large Language Models, Infrastructure Automation, and Carbon Footprint Calculation
3rd European Workshop on Algorithmic Fairness (EWAF’24) Where: Mainz, Germany When: July 1 to 3, 2024 Call for Papers: https://lnkd.in/gFQsafYG Submissions Deadline: March 15, 2024 Types of submissions: Both short submissions (< 4 pages) and full papers (10-15 pages) are accepted. EWAF welcomes both theoretical work from all disciplines as well as applied research, especially interdisciplinary research on algorithmic fairness in the European context. What's EWAF? EWAF’s goal is to foster the dialogue between researchers working on algorithmic fairness in the context of Europe’s legal and societal framework, especially in light of the EU’s attempts to promote ethical AI. EWAF's relaxed atmosphere makes it a great place to connect with researchers working on similar topics.

"Artificial intelligence mania has overtaken ... It’s worth asking, what does this mean for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence?" It's been said that there's an app / a GPT for everything and now I believe it. If we are going to send messages out into space, a GPT is much better than a static time capsule. This is a true window into our society. Is this the world changing idea that we have all been waiting for. No. But this shows just how broad ideas can get. And its a fun article to read. Let's send Llama 3.1 to space. 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gXKqQmb7

ALA's Core Values of Librarianship were updated in January to: Access, Equity, Intellectual Freedom and Privacy, Public Good, and Sustainability. If we truly hold these values, then I don't understand how we can justify the use of GenAI. Like, in an entire issue dedicated to AI, not a single one of the articles in the latest American Libraries even mentions the high energy use related to this tech. Not once. https://lnkd.in/gbnx-AJ4 In fact, as far as I can tell, there isn't a single moment in the issue where someone says "wait a minute, maybe this isn't good." The closest anyone gets is Dempsey talking about us having "no choice" but to work in the "messy middle" as this tech develops. I know y'all are probably sick of me talking about this, and frankly, so am I, but at every turn we're being fed the "it is inevitable, adapt" attitude and I simply refuse to accept that. We're being sold a tool that we don't need, that causes harm, and is against our interests.

if you appreciate new developments in digital humanities, this is your treasure: in Open Access
Our latest Digital Humanities title, 'Algorithmic Regimes: Methods, Interactions, and Politics' is available via #OpenAcess Algorithms have risen to become one, if not the central technology for producing, circulating, and evaluating knowledge in multiple societal arenas. In this volume, scholars propose the concept of algorithmic regimes and demonstrate how they transform the foundations of knowledge production and decision-making in contemporary societies.
