merde alors

yes, i did. Can i comment on just this part?

“without the user noticing it” is where i disagree. When you work with ai you encounter all kinds of limitations (and bias).

Can you see the bias cameras too intrinsically have? They too never photograph roots unless we uncover the roots and direct the camera at them.

Now imagine how you might prompt an LLM like ChatGPT to give you a picture of your tree. When Stanford computer science PhD candidate Nava Haghighi, the lead author of the new study, asked ChatGPT to make her a picture of a tree, ChatGPT returned a solitary trunk with sprawling branches – not the image of a tree with roots she envisioned.

she needs to get out and draw/paint some trees.

Honestly on the bus or train it’s kinda nice to just be in a bubble. Obviously you still need to be aware to some degree but I remember my college bus trips being a nice isolated time most days.

i too remember my college bus days and, like you said, it was a relief to cut off the city and/or people around me. (I think that need was why i was attracted to noise back then (noise as a “music” genre. Impeccable filter.))

But it was before smartphones and i was watchful. Now with the screen + earphones, what i experience is a complete disregard for others. It’s not about awareness only, but consideration. Filtering out doesn’t give you the right to act like filtered out doesn’t exist and if they do, they should accommodate their actions according to your unawareness. (What a luxury to live in a period when your species has eliminated all their predators.)

i’m on it

you can speak to a reader, you can call for their attention.

with bluetooth earphones and smartphones, it’s like you’re in two different realities. Because other people stop existing in that bubble, because they become part of the background, bubbled people stop caring about them.
