pickA planetary perspective on the machine learning technologies now collectively referred as “AI.” The author addresses inherent biases and exploitative labor practices. This could‘ve been dry, but I found it quite readable.

pickI‘m doing a deep dive on reading books about AI, and this one is fantastic for explaining the different kinds of technology referred to as AI, how it works and was created, what it can do and what it can‘t. Highly recommend.

Here are my Valentine's gifts from Barnes & Noble.
Two books that seem very interesting
And a Moomin bag, because... I love the Moomins!!!!
pick4 ⭐ This is a fun grade school book. It teaches the basics of how algorithms and computers work. It uses the idea of explaining it to a parent to make it fun. This book does a fantastic job of teaching the beginning of coding and how to think like a computer. The illustrations are bright and colorful and go well with the book. Spiro is known for her science books for kids of all ages and this is another great book in a great series.
#TodayILearned more about Spyware😡🤢
I haven‘t read Ronan Farrow‘s reporting on Pegasus, but this 61 minute documentary on HBO Max gives a great overview.
Tagged the book that‘s lauded as the best owner‘s manual on going off the digital grid. We‘ve got the book and someday I‘ll read it. Just doesn‘t seem like there‘s much you can do to minimize intrusions unless you‘re truly willing to give up connected tech. I‘m not there, yet.
so-soA fascinating biography of Grace Hopper, a computer pioneer whose innovative thinking revolutionized programming and shaped the technology we use today.
