In Oct 2009 I ran spontaneously behind the Google Streetview car on Borsigstrasse Berlin. One year later the Streetview pictures were published by Google and my action became a performance piece. I called it “15 Seconds Of Fame“. I could be found on the service for a very long time, for almost 14 years. Google never updated the picture set because there were big discussions over privacy questions in Germany back then. But couple weeks ago, on July 25th 2023 Google ran an update and I disappeared from the service. „15 seconds of fame“ turned into almost 15 years ;)) The work is finally complete.

Humans lives in communities. We join them, we sometimes leave them. Social networks should only be an underlying infrastructure to support our communities. Social networks are not our communities.

@EU_Commission We used to have a decentralised Internet in the 90s. It was called "the Internet".

Supposed AI-only 'Twitter', for the entertainment of humans in nihilistic fascination with our self-obsolescence.

Beyond Turing and computational rationalism, I do wonder how much of this is disaster vanity, the 'OMG we created a monster'.

How long?

A contemporary story.

ALICE: Bob is a .

CAROL: Could be, I don't know, I haven't seen any direct evidence of Bob being a psychopath.

ALICE: Come on, even Mallory says Bob is a psychopath.

CAROL: Wait.. now I HAVE directly seen Mallory display sociopathic behaviour.

ALICE: Carol is a psychopath.

@Nour @laurenshof @aral If Microsoft Edge hid the address bar behind a button, auto-loaded store.microsoft.biz and called it the “official web site of the internet”, we’d all have problems with it. Having an “official node of the Fediverse” is the same thing. You are giving Mastodon so much control by being ok with this. There is no official on the Fediverse. We’re all equals.

"We’ve reached internet saturation point. Even so, we are ever more hooked on screen time. Can we find other ways of conceiving of and relating to the internet that leave space for thought?"

I’m quoted today in an EdTech article “Satellite Broadband Brings Internet Connectivity to Remote Locations” that explores how low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite systems could potentially help connect the unconnected and close the digital divide. A key question I raised was … will these systems actually be *affordable* to the people that need them most. I think there is great potential, but also great challenges.

This morning I woke up and the time on my (non-connected) wrist watch didn't match up with the time on my phone (or my partners phone and her smart watch). A quick search on the internet seems to confirm that the time on my Casio is the correct time.

We would have been an hour early for our bus, if it wasn't for my "dumb" watch.

I'm still unsure what made our phones change the time like this. They are both android, but a third android phone kept the correct time, so it's not all android phones...

We are in Mexico on holiday, and Mexico recently stopped with daylight savings, so maybe that hasn't been updated properly in android?

Changing my location to Belize, a country that keeps the same time zone and also doesn't change their clocks gives me the correct time. This will have to do as a "fix" for now... 🤷

Of course, as expected the so-called "social" networks are full of haters taking advantage of their own ignorance and the situation to blame this on the government. 🙄
