"The human's decisions were based on an unbroken straight line chain of 85 million years of "I am the primate who did not get eaten", layered with decades of fine motor control trailing. Whereas the AI based its decisions on whatever ad hoc junk a bunch of low-paid contractors dumped into the training set over a period maybe as long as 18 months.
So they're building an AI whose goal is to lie to you -- to build your confidence in decisions made by AIs.
We are so completely doomed."

  Frogger AI Explains Its Decisions
  
  ...using automated, plausible lies: After training the AI system to play the popular arcade game Frogger, and documenting how human players explained the decisions they made while playing the game, the team of researchers developed the agent to generate language in real time to explain the motivations behind its actions. [...] When it comes to neural networks -- a kind of AI architecture made

Secondly, online voting is a terrible idea, even worse than electronic voting machines. Yes, voting is on weekdays, but your employer is obliged to give you time to vote. There is a real value in the civic ritual of everyone lining up to vote together; it makes you take your vote more seriously than when you order from Amazon Prime.

@bgcarlisle @ink_slinger Cynicism is healthy with regard to #canpol. That being said...
First, it is very easy to join a Canadian political party — in fact, my experience is that they're desperate for new members. If you don't find information about your local association, it's probably because they have 15 active-ish members, mostly grey-haired.

  Of all the relics kept at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Paris (Notre-Dame de Paris), the Crown of Thorns and a piece of the True Cross are the most revered. Their status is unknown as the 850-year-old cathedral goes up in flames.

Notre Dame’s old stones will hold up, but I’m most worried about the rose windows. Here‘s the one at the southern end of the transept.
It dates from the year 1260. It’s twin on the northern end is even older, from 1250.

"What I began to appreciate in the #Gaeltacht is that many beautiful things cannot be enjoyed if you want them to offer a convenient stopping point so you can move on to something else. They can be appreciated only by making a deep commitment to them and thereby passing up other amazing things that are undoubtedly available somewhere else."

Guys: “Well you know, there were many people working on those algorithms, it’s not only Katie Bouman work but rather a team effort.”
