Inclusive dignity
Pablo Gilabert, 2024. Politics, Philosophy & Economics

"According to the Dignitarian Approach, there is a moral nexus between people such that when some can affect others with their acts and institutions, they ought do so in ways that are responsive to the valuable features that give rise to their dignity."

there's been almost twenty years of work on optimizing javascript engines with JIT and complex heuristic-based GC and a wealth of feature-rich profiling and analysis tools and validation and testing frameworks for deployment and integration and syntax improvements and functional and higher-order primitives and serverside transpiled code. and it's all enabled some amazing new stuff, for example github now takes 10 seconds to display a plain text file, and you cant search properly anymore

    @iamdtms @yogthos search doesn't work without javascript, so fails Web Sustainability Guidelines¹. search is one of the most critical capabilities we expect from websites and which sets the posture for all future developers about what is practically possible.

    #Mastodon has innumerable flaws, some quite serious, but currently as far as I'm concerned, like democracy, it's better than all the other systems.

    tetranomos,

    @lauren the protocol developers have said on numerous occasions its development is "not a democracy", rather, as a highlighting of how it has achieved its successfulness.

    If a child is old enough to understand fear and pain then they are old enough to understand how to reason.

    If a child is old enough to understand how to reason then there is no reason to inflict pain and fear as punishment because they are old enough to be reasoned with.

    tetranomos,

    @AtheistIntelligence is the child (a) being abused because of some religious justification or (b) being abused and a religious ethos by happenstance is available to cover one's tracks?

    tetranomos,

    @AtheistIntelligence yes, but i don't find it reasonable to present my own experience for this vector of understanding. parents acting from scripture without explaining to the child that specific justification tells me (b), not (a). even being placed in church, as i was, lends more so to (b); namely, "i will abuse my child and let them discover why independently through the ethos (b)."

    This and other examples of semantic and perceptual motivations suggest that language is not in fact autonomous from the rest of human cognition. Unfortunately, the autonomy claims that justify the formalist school’s approach have been elevated to the status of doctrine. Rather than being seen as a set of simplifying assumptions that are intended to help tame a complex system, they are now taken as truths about the nature of language. Linguists routinely argue (e.g., Bickerton 1981, 1984) that language is a completely self-contained system, with genetically preprogrammed modules that interact with each other and other cognitive processes only through well-defined interfaces. The years of work based on assuming the autonomy of language and its components have not been wasted; our understanding of many complicated linguistic structures has advanced a great deal. But it is time to take the evidence seriously and to build theories that treat the complex interconnections of language, perception, and cognition.

    tetranomos,

    @philosophy anthropologists read wittgenstein. black people read anthropologists.

    Throughout Western intellectual history, there has been a conviction that it is possible to find the necessary and sufficient conditions for any category. A square is a two-dimensional object with four sides of equal length and four right angles. Nothing lacking these properties can be a square and anything having those properties is defi- nitely a square. Ludwig Wittgenstein, in his Philosophical
    Investigations, brought the whole necessity-and-sufficiency enterprise crashing to earth in the West. Wittgenstein argued to the satisfaction (or rather, dismay) of even the most analytic of Western philosophers that establishing necessary and sufficient conditions for any complex or interesting category, such as a "game" or a "government" or an "illness," was never going to be possible. A thing can be a game even if it is not fun, even if played alone, even if its chief goal is to make money. A thing is not necessarily a game even if it is fun or is a nonproductive activity engag- ing several people in pleasurable interaction. Wittgen- stein's sermon would never have been needed in the East. The pronouncement that complex categories cannot always be defined by necessary and sufficient conditions would scarcely have been met with surprise.

    With this morning's IntelliJ update I started seeing these AI prompts. While it is exciting to see it coming to desktop software not just up running in the browser I'm still not touching these things until it goes to local only running models. Even if I trusted all these companies with all this data I'm sick of feeding evena higher precentage of our digital lives into the data lakes of the same companies or their proxies (yes I'm referring to you OpenAI).

    tetranomos,

    @dimillian @hankg that wouldn't follow if such developers are practicing in [theoretical] psychology and [experimental] computer science (i.e., executable philosophy). they would not be "building" than reinventing language in circles.

    Whether implemented computer programs can be expected to be structurally similar in any way to human mental processes is also open to serious doubt. The basic underlying hardware processes are so different in both cases that it is by no means self-evident that corresponding structures can be used to implement corresponding tasks. Those working within hardcore A.I. tend to avoid facing the choice between doing A.I. as applied computer science or as theoretical psychology. By failing to deal clearly with the goals and purposes of the A.I. activity, practitioners need demonstrate neither correctness and efficiencyin their
    programs nor psychological validity. Comparisons with the human mind can be freely invoked to justify a lack of interest in the correctness, consistency and modularity of a program while the extent to which the program constitutes a model for human mental processing structures is left unspecified. ” In light of this, it is best to view A.I. not as a scientific or technological discipline in the way in which these notions are normally considered but to see it rather as the experimental branch of computer science where new programming concepts are tried out without much concern for their theoretical underpinnings and unfettered by the constraints imposed by well-defined requirements of any sort. This explains why one would not expect to deal in depth with A.I. work in natural language understanding in a discussion which is involved in evaluating different, well-described means for achieving the same (or similar) well-defined goals. This is why, in the rest of this book, references to A.I. work are made only where they are specifically relevant to the matter under discussion.

    tetranomos,

    @dimillian @hankg people can build non-transformative worthless stuff all day long. it doesn't necessarily possess the terror of value.

    Hypermedia APIs are more like the human Web: evolvable, adaptable, versioning- free—when was the last time you cared about what “version” of a website you are looking at? As such, hypermedia-style APIs are less brittle, more discoverable, and fit right at home in a highly distributed, collaborative architectural style such as micro‐ services.

    tetranomos,

    @dimillian @hankg one of the more rigorous ones since 2016 in the microservices literature.

    tetranomos,

    @dimillian @hankg since over 90% of the web is inaccessible and most public facing APIs are misappropriating the standards, causing structural and ontological sustainability of the unsustainable, i'm sure. it's a great time to scream into the void.

    tetranomos,

    @koen_hufkens @academicchatter one of my theories has been that autistics and schizophrenics have been quite aware that such tools do this: their emergence is a means to block out those who have weaponized religious, economic, and political voices co-opted by those outside their generational peer group. it's time to start thinking at the level of philosophical war. the artilect war went online more than a decade ago. wars happen.
