I'm studying how people learn creative coding outside of academic programs or university environments and looking to talk to adult novices with 0-2 years of experience. If you're interested in sharing your experience with me, shoot me a DM! #p5js #genart #creativecoding

Amsterdam launches an "Algorithm Register". It contains information on the algorithms used by the municipality, their input data, and strategies for human oversight. Seems like a good effort to improve algorithmic accountability (1/2) https://t.co/43yceYySxR

sure, humans show preferences for certain types of faces they believe to be more trustworthy. these preferences can be rooted in racism, though, so shouldn’t that inform one’s research before one constructs an AI that mimics human biases?

I saw Raji demoed at PAXEast and it was so beautiful! As @jjerion says: “I’ll be using it as a benchmark for what action-adventure games can be for years to come, and I hope it paves the way for other underrepresented cultures and developers in games.”

I think it should be obligatory for all scientists to study the history and philosophy of their science and face the horrors of the things that have been done in the name of ‘science’ and engage with this horror explicitly in their ethics forms before they practice science.

the thing that’s always interested me most about tech is the way people being unreliable narrators to themselves affects their ability to construct better modes of living for other people
