- “There’s not been enough focus on the real problem, which is building planetary-scale machine learning–based systems that actually work, deliver value to humans, and do not amplify inequities.”

- young girls are the ones taking that risk. They are subjects in an experiment that will show how the technology changes the way we form our identities, represent ourselves, and relate to others. And it’s all happening without much oversight.

- https://blog.computationalcomplexity.org/2021/04/quantum-stories.html
- quantum computing having a real-world impact in the near or mid-term is unlikely. Most scientists I know working directly in quantum research are honest about the limitations and challenges in quantum computing. But somehow that message is not often getting to the next layers up, the policy makers, the research managers, the university administrators, the media and the venture capitalists.

- it is morally wrong to manipulate other people so that they lose their autonomy. But this is essentially the behavioural advertising business model of surveillance capitalism that Google and Facebook have adopted.
- https://uploadvr.com/diego-marcos-interview-webxr
- it’s not that technology problem anymore. Because we have the standard, the final WebXR standard shipping in browsers. So all the technology pieces are there, it’s more of a problem of educating and for people to learn how to take advantage of the potential of the web.

- contrary to our tech-deterministic beliefs, we actually have some control over how robots impact the labour market. Rather than pushing for broad task automation, we could invest in redesigning the ways people work in order to fully capture the strengths of both people and robots.

- takeovers raise the very important issue of “kill zones.” Social media platforms like Facebook sit on billions of dollars in cash that they have amassed through their economies of scale, scope, network externalities and first-mover advantage.
