Just heard #CoryDoctorow read his article on "Technopolitics" and it is brilliant!
https://locusmag.com/feature/commentary-cory-doctorow-technopolitics/
#AI as a tool vs #AI misused to deprive authors/artists of their livelihood. #NeoLuddite stuff.
Also brings in seminal article by Langdon Winner from 1980--"Do Artifacts Have Politics?"

"The ill effects were soon felt. Huguenot textile workers, paper makers and other artisans, whose techniques had been a monopoly of France, took their skills abroad to England and the German states; bankers and merchants took their capital; printers, bookmakers, ship-builders, lawyers, doctors and many pastors escaped. Within four years, 8000–9000 men of the Navy, and 10,000– 12,000 of the Army, plus 500–600 officers, made their way to the Netherlands… The silk industry of Tours and Lyons is said to have been ruined and some important towns like Reims and Rouen to have lost half their workers." -- The March of Folly
The ill effects are already being felt. #Scientists are moving abroad and entire areas of #research are being quashed (#mRNA #Vaccines are just one example). #Education is suffering, #books are being banned, attempts are being made to re-write our #history (removing information about #GeorgeWashington 's #Slaves for example). Our #military is being misused (Illegal #War on #Iran) and abused (Long Navy Deployments, Firing Top Leadership Without Cause).

@cstross @j2bryson @newtontalk
I respectfully disagree. I could write up to 20-30 words per minute on my #Palm. I even started writing that way on paper.
I'm a total klutz with on screen keyboards. Barely get ten words a minute and usually have to go back to correct something--errors often caused by auto-correct.
Aside: I have a perennial problem with auto-correct word confusion. Big ones are "think" vs "thing" and "text" vs "test". The #Graffiti strokes are designed to disambiguate input so I had no mistakes of that kind back in the day. Much better to write what I mean rather than allow the device to guess.
#StrokeInput for #iOS is a nice attempt to bring #Graffiti into our tiny keyboard worlds. It doesn't feel as "natural" as it did on the Palm (or my hands and eyes got older 😉 ). Unfortunately I don't have a functioning Palm device for comparison... but a stylus-based short hand makes much more sense than an on-screen keyboard to me.
PS: "...only instead of a limited alphabet they recognize an entire dictionary full of words" StrokeInput appears to be hooked up to the iOS word-completion engine. So in that sense it has been modernized.
