Last night, two communities clashed.

An AI [re]generated image had won a Cover Art contest.

Artists quickly saw it was AI, but Authors were unconvinced: they wanted reasonable proof, not hearsay.

(Mark Lawrence, the host, has been nothing but gracious. Do not bother him)

Many artists pointed out specific issues with the image: typical AI artefacts that come from image generation that a trained eye can easily see, but harder for a layperson to understand the significance.

Authors remained unconvinced: needed better proof.
Some artists tried to appeal to reason with AI detection software.

They were not listened to, but I understand: AI detectors are NOT reliable, and they have their own issues (often they train their OWN AI on the input images! ā˜¹)

So more proof was needed

We assembled 100 Corsi-Rosenthal filter boxes.

Letā€™s do the math: 100 x 30 students per classroom = more than 3,000 students who will have another layer of protection when they attend school.
Every layer matters. Every layer helps reduce exposure which may save lives.

Vaccines
Masks
Distancing

This is an all-hands-on-deck moment.

Show up & do everything in reach
Lead by example

Be direct about your expectations to follow the science. Liberty isnā€™t it at risk, lives are. Too many of those are children.

Stay focused.

Prospect of autonomous weapons is of deep concern globally & for #NewZealand. Machines making life & death decisions challenge fundamental values. #AWSDialogueNZ #KeepCtrl #TeamHuman
#NewZealand Govt has conducted a survey to collect views from the public. Thereā€™s limited public awareness but it found 72% opposed use of lethal autonomous weapons systems. Oppose machines being used to kill. #AWSDialogueNZ #KeepCtrl
#NewZealand government would prefer legally-binding rules on autonomous weapons systems. See the most effective control in a forum that works & delivers. #CCwUN must rise to the challenge before it. Time is off the essence! @PhilTwyford #AWSDialogueNZ

Unlike before the pandemic, Iā€™m now following this weekā€™s #CCWUN diplomatic meeting on #KillerRobots from a great distance: hrw.org/news/2021/08/0ā€¦ Being in #Aotearoa #NewZealand provides a refreshing new perspective. #AWSDialogueNZ @hrw
@hrw @UNGeneva @ousmannoor @BanKillerRobots @UN_Disarmament Military investments into lethal autonomous weapons systems are taking us down a dangerous path for global peace & security. Machines have no moral agency, empathy or responsibility - @NoelSharkey @icracnet #AWSDialogueNZ #KillerRobots #CCWUN
Fundamental challenges raised by removing human control from the use of force are only rising the longer it takes to regulate. As retired Maj. Gen. Mike Smith notes accountability cannot be transferred to machines. #AWSDialogueNZ #KillerRobots #CCWUN

Americans need to stop taking ā€œsidesā€ & start building bridges

Our division is our weakness

We canā€™t keep calling each other names & waging ad hom attacks.

We are capable of cooperating across tribes...

We desperately need to learn to empathize with each other

#teamhuman
When you have the same end goal (less deaths) start there.

If you disagree on how to achieve, much can be accomplished, cooperatively, by empathizing with the destination & not attaching to the route.

We must value learning new information more than we value ā€œbeing right.ā€
ā€œIf you canā€™t recite a counter-argument without calling people bad or dumb, you should be dubious of your modeling.ā€

When we empathize with someone, we donā€™t ā€œhateā€ them & can cultivate the compassion to seek their perspective & include their signal in our overall understanding.
