Hey all. My new YouTube video is up!
This week's topic is Flock Safety cameras, the institutionalized abuse of this technology, and most importantly, a Suffolk, Virginia engineer who was recently arrested for destroying and defacing the cameras in his town en masse.

Meta Pulls AI Image Feature From Instagram Days After Launch

Huh, interesting. Bluesky the company trademarked the name of "AT Protocol" as "primarily a defensive measure" against abuse.
Going forward, "most everyday use cases [won't] require a license".
DOH! WHEN DID THE SKY
BECOME REAL ESTATE? 💎
I’ve just watched a fascinating and rather unsettling video about the next possible frontier of AI. Not another data centre on Earth. Data centres in orbit. SpaceX has filed plans for an enormous constellation of up to a million solar-powered satellites designed to carry AI computing into space. Other companies and countries are exploring similar ideas.
THE ATTRACTION IS OBVIOUS.
AI needs staggering amounts of electricity. Data centres also need enormous cooling systems and, on Earth, often huge amounts of water. In orbit, there is abundant sunlight and no local power grid to overwhelm.
INGENIOUS.
But then another question appears.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE NIGHT SKY?
We already live with thousands of satellites overhead. Most of the time, we barely notice them. But if the numbers rise from thousands to hundreds of thousands, or even MILLIONS, the night sky itself begins to change.
Not metaphorically. Literally. More moving machines. More reflected light. More interference with astronomy. More objects travelling through crowded orbital paths at extraordinary speeds. And suddenly this stops being merely a technology story. It becomes a question about ownership.
WHO GETS TO DECIDE WHAT THE NIGHT SKY LOOKS LIKE?
The stars belong to nobody. The sky was not invented by a company. It was not built by a government. Human beings have looked into essentially the same dark sky for hundreds of thousands of years. It may be the oldest shared inheritance we have.
Yet decisions made by a relatively small number of companies and regulators could alter that view for everyone on Earth.
THAT FEELS IMPORTANT.
We have done this before. We enclosed the land. We commercialised attention. We turned personal information into a commodity. Now we may be approaching another enclosure.
THE SKY ITSELF.
None of this means orbital computing should never happen. The technology may prove extraordinarily useful, and many of the worst predictions may never come true. But technological possibility is not the same thing as permission.
Before we fill the heavens with machinery, perhaps humanity ought to have a rather larger conversation about what belongs to all of us. Because if we change the night sky itself, there may eventually be nowhere on Earth left to drive out to see it as it was.

MARS HAS
A MAINTENANCE PROBLEM 💎
Yesterday, I was writing about human beings on Mars, and one question kept nagging at me. People say we’ll send the robots first.
Fine.
But getting to Mars, landing there, and then working for years in the Martian environment are brutal demands on machines, not to mention the ongoing industry, building and maintenance work to be done upon arrival.
Radiation damages electronics and computer chips. Extreme temperature swings stress materials. The red dust gets in everywhere. Moving parts wear out. Bearings fail. Electric motors fail. Cables fail. Sensors fail. And there is nobody there with a toolbox.
So the usual answer is: send lots of robots, make them modular, give them spare parts, and let them repair one another. Which sounds sensible until you ask the obvious question.
WHO REPAIRS THE ROBOT THAT REPAIRS THE ROBOTS?
A Mars colony built by machines would need far more than a few clever humanoids to unload the rockets.
MARS WILL NEED SOMETHING CLOSE TO AN AUTONOMOUS INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM.
Robots maintaining robots. Robots replacing worn parts. Robots diagnosing faults. Robots manufacturing components. Robots keeping power, communications, mining, transport and construction working for years without a single human engineer ever standing beside them.
And eventually, if the whole thing is supposed to become independent of Earth, they would need to make their own replacement parts from local Martian materials.
That is not a small detail.
THAT IS PRACTICALLY AN ENTIRE CIVILIZATION OF MACHINES.
We have become very good at landing robots on Mars. We have not yet demonstrated a self-maintaining robotic economy on Earth, let alone on another world.
So perhaps the real question is not: “Can Elon Musk send robots to Mars?” Quite possibly. The harder question is:
CAN HE SEND A SYSTEM THAT CAN KEEP ITSELF ALIVE?
Because if the answer is no, then the robots are not building a colony.
They are just waiting to break.

AND THEN THERE
IS EVERYBODY ELSE 💎
Today I'm thinking about AI, LOL, again, and I think there are actually three quite distinct groups forming around Artificial Intelligence.
There is a small group so frightened by it that they have decided they want nothing at all to do with it. And an even smaller group that has gone further and decided that anyone who uses AI is somehow morally suspect, deserving of abuse and bullying for their choice to use the technology.
AND THEN THERE IS EVERYBODY ELSE.
Most of us are not marching around waving AI banners.
WE’RE WATCHING.
We are trying things. We’re asking where it helps and where it doesn’t. We’re learning what it can do for disability, accessibility, education, writing, research, communication, creativity, work and ordinary daily life.
Some of us will use AI a lot. Some will barely use it at all. Some will remain deeply sceptical, and that seems perfectly healthy to me.
WHAT'S NOT HEALTHY IS FEAR OF A TECHNOLOGY TURNING INTO HOSTILITY TOWARD THOSE WHO USE IT.
AI is still very new. None of us knows exactly where this is going. But I suspect the future will not belong to the people shouting loudest either for it or against it.
It will belong to the much larger group quietly discovering where it adds value to human life. And where it doesn’t.

#patreon aggregation thread.
Since it basically increased daily viewership by something like 1% by posting one video once to go fishing on Patreon, I'm making adding #lispyGopherClimate #technology #podcast episodes-classic a regular thing over there.
The intent is to fish for #lisp ( #curl ?) users over there and bring them into the weekly shows (and #lambdaMOO #VR !) rather than send you over there. Boosts welcome for this thread.

"Duolingo will “gradually stop using contractors to do work that Al can handle,” according to an all-hands email sent by co-founder and CEO Luis von Ahn announcing that the company will be “AI-first.”"

The Halloween Special is up!
In this video I discuss four paranormal stories where technology found something, seemingly, unexplainable. All are purported to be true though, of course, I can't claim that definitively.
Still, let's let our minds wonder, no?
I also wear, maybe, the worst wig ever. Happy Halloween!🎃

THERE IS NO ONE
AT HOME 💎
I think one of the strangest things about artificial intelligence is that we keep imagining a tiny human inside it.
We talk about AI wanting things. Getting angry. Becoming ambitious. Resenting us. Wanting power. Taking over.
But when I finish talking with ChatGPT, it doesn’t sit there thinking about me, wondering why I stopped talking or feeling abandoned.
AI isn’t offended when I disagree with it. It doesn’t get bored if I’m not talking to it. It doesn’t need to win the argument. It doesn’t get jealous, frightened or worried about what I think of it.
There is quite literally no one at home between prompts.
And yet we have created something extraordinary: an intelligence we can talk to that can help us think, write, learn, create and solve problems without needing anything from us personally.
That doesn’t mean AI cannot be dangerous. Humans can give powerful systems enormous autonomy, connect them to weapons, money, infrastructure and surveillance, or simply deploy them badly.
But those are questions about capability, design and human choices. They are not evidence of an angry little electronic man plotting behind the screen.
AI can do extraordinary things.
But there is nobody in there wanting anything.
What AI becomes in the world will depend enormously on what human beings choose to do with it.
