OK folks, are you really people or are you bots?

I checked FeedBurner and some of you are really good people using an outlook email address - some of you look rather suspicious.

HMMM...is there a bot going on?

Maybe you need to leave a comment on here. Tell me somethin' good...

Billionaires Create Fund to Teach Morals to AI

Who are they? EBay founder Pierre Omidyar, LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, the Knight Foundation (a non-profit charitable foundation) and Omidyar’s charitable foundation, Omidyar Network.
In a press release in January 2017, Omidyar announced the group has initially given $27 million to researchers who will work at MIT’s Media Lab and Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society to develop what Constellation Research (a Silicon Valley technology research and advisory firm) VP and principal analyst Steve Wilson calls a “deep, cross-disciplinary systems thinking being applied to the problem of mechanizing ethics.”

For example, one of the most critical challenges is how do we make sure that the machines we ‘train’ don’t perpetuate and amplify the same human biases that plague society?

(Really!) Billionaires are moral? The inmates are running the asylum now? BOOM

Commenter: How about teaching morals to yourselves? The top 8 of the richest men in the world have as much as 3.6 billion people, or the bottom half of the entire global population. That's absolutely disgusting. Something is wrong with peoples greed and yet nothing ever changes.

"About bloody time" I hear you mutter in tepid indifference. So here it is - my first blog entry. The
work that will, over time, fall unceremoniously like obese toddlers
utop of this post, will be a mixed-bag of bored scrawlings and little
ideas that didn't make me a million pounds, with some nice type or the
odd illustration here and there. Hell, I may even stick the odd photo
up. I can do whatever I like - it's social media innit.

then the blog died 

You worry, too? Thanks Mozilla

Privacy. Security. Safety.

When we started tackling these issues earlier this year, the realization hit: we’re fighting for better online privacy and security all wrong. We’ve been spending our time telling people to install VPNs and use TOR and be worried about the future of IoT. Then we did a survey and found most people don’t know what these things are.

READ THE GUIDE 

Because right now, raising awareness is important. Soon, demanding change will be even more important. Stay tuned for that.

Thank you,

The Team at Mozilla

Virtual private network

A virtual private network extends a private network across a public network, and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network. Applications running across the VPN may therefore benefit from the functionality, security, and management of the private network.

and you?
