3/n: "Parliamentary Salaries and Entitlements"
Each Minister should be explicitly bound to improvements in the wellbeing metrics of constituents. Within their portfolio too. A baseline salary of course but tied to the outcomes that truly matter. Give politicians skin in the game

[Michael Garfield 🔮 @michaelgarfield]

Tech ethics is cooked. It's time to compost the Leviathan.

This week on #HumansOnTheLoop I decant a conversation with the brilliant @m3untold — a moral imagineer, social entrepreneur, UX designer, educator, artist, and public policy advocate. Mat has over twenty years’ of product, project, and program management experience, designing and running real-world relational experiments everywhere from startups to federal government initiatives, Fortune 500 tech companies, and grassroots communities.

In short, he’s precisely the kind of incompressible generalist I look to as a model for how to live wisely in our age of accelerating weirdness.

@SpaceComputerIO what type of sensory and experiential data is available to this disembodied claw?

[Mat Mytka {m³} 🌏🍄🌱🐭 @m3untold]

Representation of autonomic co-regulation between my son and I in the first dyad coupling session using EarthianBioSense. Inferring autonomic regulation from HRV. The approach uses a phase space model that traces trajectories and prioritises movement rather than static states.

2026 is shaping up to be the year of multiplayer AI. @gregisenberg and @far33d have made this call in recent weeks, pointing at the same pattern we've seen before: G Docs > Word, Figma > Sketch, Airtable > Excel. All single-player tools eventually lose to multiplayer counterparts

@TruthFairy131 Race is a construct. Skin colour exists on a gradient from very light to very dark brown, depending on melanin density and distribution. “White” and “black” are social constructs that emerged historically to justify systems of hierarchy, colonisation, and exploitation.

@ChefTom1985 @TruthFairy131 Some of this comes from people being triggered. But there should be some playful and persistent non violent civil disobedience in this country. In terms of demands, here's some stuff that should be put in focus. https://t.co/z5RC6buqpA

OMG, the AI Winter Break Hypothesis may actually be true?

There was some idle speculation that GPT-4 might perform worse in December because it "learned" to do less work over the holidays.

Here is a statistically significant test showing that this may be true. LLMs are weird.🎅

“When these tools become more accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises, they might not actually have the resources to think through the implications."
@m3untold, Co-founder at @tethix_, shares his perspective on accessibility and AI.

THE TECHNO-OPTIMIST MANIFESTO part 1

“You live in a deranged age — more deranged than usual, because despite great scientific and technological advances, man has not the faintest idea of who he is or what he is doing.”
— Walker Percy

“Our species is 300,000 years old. For the first 290,000 years, we were foragers, subsisting in a way that’s still observable among the Bushmen of the Kalahari and the Sentinelese of the Andaman Islands. Even after Homo Sapiens embraced agriculture, progress was painfully slow. A person born in Sumer in 4,000BC would find the resources, work, and technology available in England at the time of the Norman Conquest or in the Aztec Empire at the time of Columbus quite familiar. Then, beginning in the 18th Century, many people’s standard of living skyrocketed. What brought about this dramatic improvement, and why?”
— Marian Tupy

“There’s a way to do it better. Find it.”
— Thomas Edison

Lies

We are being lied to.

We are told that technology takes our jobs, reduces our wages, increases inequality, threatens our health, ruins the environment, degrades our society, corrupts our children, impairs our humanity, threatens our future, and is ever on the verge of ruining everything.

We are told to be angry, bitter, and resentful about technology.

We are told to be pessimistic.

The myth of Prometheus – in various updated forms like Frankenstein, Oppenheimer, and Terminator – haunts our nightmares.

We are told to denounce our birthright – our intelligence, our control over nature, our ability to build a better world.

We are told to be miserable about the future.

@danieltbar @getairchat For the algos? Privacy aspects seem pretty neff from first glance. But I'm open to play.

[Mat Mytka {m³} 🌏🍄🌱🐭 @m3untold]

It's been over a year since I logged in. Now I recall why.

@danieltbar @getairchat Oh is that where all the decent cool cats have migrated?

I cannot think about a single human right that is conditioned to going through any sort of KYC.

"Sorry, Sir. You can't freely walk over this sidewalk unless you go through the regular KYC process. Just in case you're thinking about using the sidewalk for illegal purposes."
