OpenAI’s new language generator #GPT3 is shockingly good—and completely mindless. Does GPT-3 bring us closer to artificial general intelligence? And if so how worried or optimistic should we be? Nine philosophers explore the potential impact of GPT-3. #AI dailynous.com/2020/07/30/phi…

China’s social scoring has rightly received critical attention. However we shouldn’t be fooled into a false sense of moral superiority. From predictive policing to automated credit scores, troubling surveillance systems are also rolled out in the West. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

If many planets support life, where are the aliens? Their theory: civilizations grow and either burnout due to population + energy demand, or they de-growth to sustainability This research is 🔥 Im going to summarize it, other interrelated teleological narratives, and my art 1/

We just published our field book on More-Than-Human-Centered Public Design. It explores what future-proof basic services might look like on an entangled planet and looks at promising principles to design them today. Learn all about it right over here: whatgotushere.hybridcitylab.com
