Very excited to introduce Contxt Workspace for Museums — a promising first step toward bringing every museum natively into the digital world.
Every institution we spoke with faces the same challenge: tiny teams managing collections of hundreds of thousands of artworks and their rich curatorial histories. Hundreds of millions of data points for one-and-a-half people to work through. Impossible to get done.
Contxt Workspace was built from the ground up to give those teams real operational leverage. It reads, sorts, edits, and connects everything so any question can be answered in minutes rather than weeks.
It also prepares every artwork, exhibition, and person for easy digital publishing — so the treasure trove of your institution’s history can finally be used to tell more and better stories, both online and in the building.

one of the most ominous papers i've read, where ppl training AI to discover ways to improve human health instead go "hm, i wonder what happens if we just flip the direction of training from 'help' to 'hurt'"

The Israeli company behind this -- the NSO group -- should bear direct, criminal liability for the deaths and detentions of those targeted by the digital infection vectors it sells, which have no legitimate use.
This groundbreaking reporting from @Guardian, @WashingtonPost, and many others demonstrates what we and others have been saying for years: NSO’s dangerous spyware is used to commit horrible human rights abuses all around the world and it must be stopped.

A Prius being washed away in a deluge caused by torrential rain in the scars of wildfires is the perfect metaphor for how individual consumer decisions are not enough to address climate change.

PSA: if you or someone nearby are being brutalized by a police Spot robot and can get a hand or something underneath, grab this handle and yank it forward. This releases the battery, instantly disabling the robot.
Keep your hands away from joints, Spot WILL crush your fingers.

Many of the bitcoin farms, while located in Iran, are owned by Chinese companies trying to keep their presence a secret. In this investigation, the FRANCE 24 Observers team tracked them down. observers.france24.com/en/mi…

The technical marvels of big data have revived two of the most resoundly discredited "theories" from the history of social science.
Phrenology, the claim that by measuring the skull mental states could be determined and even predicted. 1/2

1/ So, I read “Blockchain Chicken Farm" by @xrw . It’s one of the best books I read this year, not just because its starting point (the countryside) is counter-intuitive for a “metronormative” person like me, but also because it’s much more than simply a book about tech.
