Rebel poetry.

"Rebellion is perhaps among the deepest roots of science: the refusal to accept the present order of things."

"Perhaps poetry is another of science's deepest roots: the capacity to see beyond visible."

Design for everyone. Including You.

It began with the fact that the Elon Musk greatly warned of the danger when artificial intelligence would seriously enter the war industry. The latest step is a collective call to ban the killer robots. (Which might be too late anyhow.)

But then, Caroline Sinders comes to what Elon has forgotten before that and how most (including his) technology contributes to discrimination.

In one sentence: "You should worry about who has a say over the future - the whole world is not D.C. or Silicon Valley - so how do we design for everyone?"

Including You, the reader of this post.

Here is yet her another article about how data is processed (in)correctly, on the basis of which we and artificial intelligence (mis)understand the world. And You.

Disagree. Healthy.

"Note further that in science, conformity is anathema to success. The persistent accusations that we are all trying to agree with one another is laughable to scientists attempting to advance their careers. The best way to get famous in your own lifetime is to pose an idea that is counter to prevailing research and which ultimately earns a consistency of observations and experiment. This ensures healthy disagreement at all times while working on the bleeding edge of discovery." Neil deGrasse Tyson
