Camp Century - The Hidden City Beneath the Ice
Full Documentary

youtube.com/watch?v=EBeyA010HI

In 1959, the U.S. Army built the first tunnel settlement beneath the ice of Greenland. 21 tubes were constructed with isolated housing for more than 200 soldiers. The documentary investigates this extraordinary #US #Army plan, while looking at the consequences of the city’s tons of #nuclear #waste that were left behind and are now slowly #emerging from the melting #ice.

@lerg my theory is trump is going to lose so badly that both senate and house will be dem majority but that just means dems will have mandate and they will still fail to get all that much done since politics is politics - always messy - plus look for the economy to go south at some point which won't help their case. politics other than at the local level is best avoided until all the white men driving the country into the ground are out of power which means dead #fiscal policy #foreign policy #housing #education #emerging tech investments #healthcare

@lkngrrr the 2-3 things I miss the most:

#cocktail-hour
#emerging-technologies (I curated the news on that one for the monthly mailing list for about a year, really miss it)
#aws-memes (before it got nuked due to excessive … excessiveness)

Mostly Slack. And a few great pages from the wiki. And some great people. But absolutely *none* of the S team decisions in the past two years. ಠ_ಠ

Continued thread

“As is often the case with #AI discourse, the conversation quickly narrowed to narrowly technical questions of bias, accuracy, and machine ethics.

This isn’t surprising. Since the beginning of the “techlash” a decade ago, technology critics have tended to take a view of #technological politics that is both internalist and partial.

As I’ve mentioned in the past, there are historical reasons for the popularity of this perspective, namely that the most recent generation of AI / #ML fairness researchers grew up inside of Big #Tech. They spent years thinking about how to make these systems fair and unbiased—something the firms assumed would make #emerging #technologies trustworthy and marketable—but relatively little time thinking about contexts and conditions of use.

#Lavender offers a good case study of the limitations of such an approach.

We do not, and likely cannot, understand the technical underpinnings of these technologies.”
