I doubt our AI superintelligence overlord will judge a human by their WoW achievements or Xbox gamerscore, but I'm not taking any chances.

Old school dungeon role playing at its finest. Whatever you can imagine... there's a table for that :) Best tiers are going fast, and it's already tripled its goal the first day.

Machine learning can be explainable, and human understandable -- here's one way.

[Calibrate Ventures @CalibrateVC]

Neural networks are powerful and here to stay, but there's another #AI framework gaining prominence: instance-based learning (IBL). Diveplane CEO @solidfog explains how companies can use IBL for explainable, trustable, and auditable AI in @TechCrunch. https://t.co/2TSjFPLBWl

A very strange Christmas present for my little girl Rosie 😊 Can't wait for her to see it! Thanks @AscendantComics!

[AscendantComics @AscendantComics]

On today's Kickstarter update, we share some amazing new artwork! Here we present Bloody Mary, a plant controller with the ability to manipulate plant genetics... Thank you to @solidfog for commissioning this incredible character.

Why should #AI decision-making be traceable and explainable? Diveplane's @solidfog shares why companies shouldn't rely on black-box systems & what's next in AI on the new YouAi podcast, created to explore the future of AI in business, comms & daily life. https://t.co/dGpQtiiFCu

@mark_riedl Hmm, it's like there's some relationship between information theory and knowledge ;)

[MIT Technology Review @techreview]

“If you're not using that kind of [traceable] technology, and you need to be able to trace the decision, you’re using the wrong tech,” - Mike Capps (@solidfog), CEO @DiveplaneAI on using black box models to decide high stakes decisions at #EmTechNext

Thrilled to see the focus from @FoxNewsAI on educating the public on AI and the seismic challenges ahead. Check it out, they have a full AI landing page.

(As a technoliberal in a lefty family, though, please don't send this article to my mom ;)

What is AGI? The Artificial Intelligence that can do it all https://t.co/Hvkag0Lvv7

[Mike Capps @solidfog]

@AuthorityMgzine @DiveplaneAI I mean, I think so, but I'm delighted that *you* thought so. Thanks for the opportunity!

[Mike Capps @solidfog]

@JonBolds Well 2011 already had F3AR, so technically, that might have made G3ARS a sequel?

[Mike Capps @solidfog]

@JonBolds Right, because your ability to do your job depends upon your reputation, and...

[Mike Capps @solidfog]

@mark_riedl Nice Mark. We think about this all the time -- the impact of XAI will come not just from human-understandable output from a model, but human action...

[Mike Capps @solidfog]

And yes, there's more than two good superhero RPGs. I love 'em all. Champions, Mutants & Masterminds, you name it. But Marvel and Ascendant are the two that I've worked on ;)

[Mike Capps @solidfog]

There's room for two superhero TTRPGs! While you wait for heroic Marvel, go grab this amazing, physics-based system. I've been playing weekly for a year and the system has *everything* covered.

[Autarch @_Autarch_]

The time for heroes is now! Ascendant: Platinum Edition is kickstarting now.

Glad to see the fantastic and caring folks at Wizards of the Coast have been put back in charge of their products.

@mforbeck Pre-ordered!

[Mike Capps @solidfog]

@VirtueApplied @_Autarch_ I mean, technically, all offensive powers can give other characters superpowers. If they've not already Ascended. Sometimes.

[Mike Capps @solidfog]

@MausRHG So this has been a pet peeve. But then I realized, there's no social-rules difference than me having a conversation with that same person, in-person. What's the problem? And it's usually the crappy, tinny speaker levels popping in and out.

[Mike Capps @solidfog]

@gwertz This makes me giddy but uncomfortable :)

[Mike Capps @solidfog]

Had good fun speaking about AI at #OODACon. Big day of defense, economy, innovation, disruption.

Almost no one* brought up extistential threats, so that's a win.

*everyone

[Lewis Shepherd @lewisshepherd]

Rapid-fire brilliant insights on #AI, R&D, #war, exponentially-quickening pace of #innovation, great discussion with @sgourley & @solidfog. Thanks to @bobgourley & @MattDevost for a great day.

[Martin Koistinen @mkoistinen]

With all the attention on US and EU legislation regarding transparent, un-biased AI, this is very timely!
