  3. From #preserving #Africa's #cultural #heritage to the era of #Artificial #Intelligence
    In 2017, the special issue of the #British #magazine The #Economist #announced on the cover that the most valuable resource was now data. This echoed the phrase “data is the new oil”, formulated in 2006 by data scientist Clive Humby.

    In 2018 James Bridle clarified that data is not the new oil but the new nuclear energy in that it is unlimited and in its capacity to cause harm (1) .

    In fact, since the 1960s, the following terms have come and gone at a rapid pace: data base, datawarehouse, databank, datamining, datamart, data store, big data, data lake, dataset, all #Anglo-Saxon sounding terms with sometimes more or less successful attempts at translations into other languages.

    But since the dawn of time, data has been the basis of #communication and the transmission of #knowledge between #humans, which evolved in four stages, oral, written, printed and digital.

    Africa?

    The African enjoys less of the advantages of being connected to the rest of the world than he suffers the #disadvantages. On a #cultural level, today's young African is likely to know more about the #British #Empire than about the Empire of #Ghana. He is more likely to have heard of #Napoleon #Bonaparte than of #Sundiata #Keita, the founding king of the great empire of #Mali. He will certainly have heard of #Elon #Musk as the richest man on the planet, but not of Mansa Musa, king of Mali in 1312 and probably the richest man who ever lived. And if he heard of #Léopold #Cedar #Senghor or #Félix #Houphouët-Boigny it will surely be thanks to the #Western #Media Through their prism.

    Excellent points, which is why I shared - but one they kind of missed was misinterpretation... it is a natural system, so the algorithms and process to take EA data and interpret necessarily can never be 100% perfect, and nor should they be expected to be. Ground truthing and other checks & balances are a crucial part of any such interpretation.

  6. The #player of the #future will have to be a #native #application. Now mainly because of #Apple and their #limitations. However, the new #bootloader version of the upcoming #RMusic app will already #handle #it. #HTTP #gateways for #IPFS unfortunately #amplify the #disadvantages of both #technologies. Nothing can be done about it.

  8. The only studies that claim advantage exists for trans women in sports were written by transphobic activists to justify their extreme anti-trans agenda. Prime Examples include Emma Hilton (@FondOfBeetles), her best bud Tommy Lundberg (@TLexercise) (Please note these two @ accounts are located on the #toxic #socialmedia #hellsite #twitter not mastodon)

    Far more studies and papers conclude no advantage exists, or they conclude that any “advantages” are offset by associated #disadvantages.

    I guess there are #advantages and #disadvantages to using a "#federated" approach, eh?! It probably stops interaction. Not a desirable outcome - IMHO.
