«We have decided to REMOVE the miner in the app. The next version will remove the option to get free features via mining. This is for three reasons: 1) The company which provided us the miner library did not disclose its source code, and it would take too long for them to fix the root cause of the CPU issue. 2) The rollout had a perfect storm of bugs which made it seem like our company *wanted* to mine crypto-currency without people’s permission, and that goes against our whole ethos and vision for Qbix. 3) My own personal feeling that Proof of Work has a dangerous set of incentives which can lead to electricity waste on a global scale we’ve never seen before» – Magarshak (Calandar 2).

Deep Learning

«DL will not disagree with any data, will not figure out the injustices in the society, it’s just all “data to learn”. You should hire a dedicated human staff to create fake fair data of an ideal society where white people are arrested as often as blacks, where 50% of directors are women, and so on. But the cost of creating vast amounts of de-biased data edited by human experts, just to train a DL model, makes not worth to replace humans with AI in first place! Further, even if you had trained a DL model that really is fair, you have no evidence to convince a judge or a user about the fairness of any decision, since the DL will give no explanations».

So Instagram is asking these users, many of them celebrities or media organizations, to include a “paid partnership” label on posts that they’re being compensated to share ».

« Les militants de Movement for Black Lives ont régulièrement signalé la suppression d’images abordant le racisme ou montrant des manifestations, au motif qu’elles violent les règles de Facebook. Parallèlement, le harcèlement et les menaces adressées aux militants par rapport à leur couleur de peau, leur religion ou leur orientation sexuelle pullulent sur Facebook. De nombreux militants ont signalé ces comportements sur Facebook mais on leur a seulement répondu qu’ils ne violent pas les règles de la communauté. »
