It dawned on me, many conflicts in UI/UX design philosophy boil down to Black Box vs White Box worldviews and an increasing focus/bias towards opaqueness...
On the one hand, there's the long illusive dream/goal of UI designers for their technological artifacts/products/services (esp. AI™ powered ones) to blend perfectly into their physical and human environment, be as autonomous & intuitive-to-use as possible, have as few controls/interfaces as possible (often minimalist brand aesthetics explicitly demand so), all whilst offering perfectly suited outcomes/actions from only minimal direct inputs, yet always with perfect prediction/predictability — DWIM (Do What I Mean) magic!
This approach mostly this comes with a large set of brushed-under-the-rug costs: Patronizing/dehumanizing the people intended to interact with the artifact, doubting/denying their intelligence, outright removal/limitation of user controls (usually misrepresented/celebrated as "simplicity"), relying on intense telemetry/surveillance/tracking, enforced 24/7 connectivity, increased energy usage and all the resulting skewed incentives for monetization which actually have nothing to do with the original purpose of the artifact...
In contrast, the White/Clear Box approach offers the artifact with full transparency (and control) of the inner workings of the system. Because of this it only works (great) for smaller, human scale domains/contexts, but due to the out-of-bounds complexity of our surrounding contemporary tech stack, these days this very quickly just means Welcome to Configuration Hell (Dante says "ciao!")...
(So in the end: Choose your own hellscape... :)

He estado probando un rato el modelo #qwenlm que han publicado recientemente los de #Alibaba. Veo poca ventaja respecto por ejemplo de los modelos que te permite utilizar sin login blackbox.ia, que le gana claramente en el apartado de código.
Aparte que qwemlm es una pesadilla de privacidad. Al contrario que #blackbox, no permite ejecutarse en el navegador con seguridad/privacidad reforzada #Mullvad y ublock capa casi 200 scripts, lo que la convierte en una pesadilla de privacidad. ¡Huyan!

#AI #hallucination is a fixture, not a bug.
The nut the #techbros really want to crack is inuring the masses to an *acceptable* level of hallucination.
Which ensures, of course, that only insiders can say the #BlackBox is hallucinating.
Which one has to believe is a pretty handy feature for people in the business of inventing oracles for the masses.
"Meta, moederbedrijf Instagram en Facebook stopt met #factcheck-ers."
Ik maak geen gebruik van #bigtech platforms en ben niet afhankelijk van hun #moderatie.
Daarom is #mastodon zo mooi. Een #federatie van instances die zelf hun moderatie bepalen.
En ieder zou een eigen instance kunnen opzetten. Een uitstekende balans van moderatie en #vrijheid van #meningsuiting (#vvmu) wordt zo bereikt.

Ride On TimeReplied in thread
Blackbox with "Ride on time". Another week, another studio performance - if they ever made a video, #TOTP never played it.
Katrin continues to mime to Loletta's voice, Mr. Black and Mr. Box chug out meaningless chords on their keyboards, and the whole thing is shot really very darkly. Still, plenty of close-ups of Katrin's face.
Heather Small provided the soundalike vocal on the version most of us bought, so it's her biggest hit.

Re-reading some of Robert Rosen's musings on the "reactive paradigm". It's striking how much this applies to LLMs and other simulators of intelligent humans reacting to "prompts". Thinking about it: Skinner is back. Believe in LLMs is Behaviorism at its best.

I was near the front of the line when #voting started. The ballot scanner wasn't working and the poll workers were on the phone with tech support, apparently trying to download an update. Our ballots go in a bin to be scanned later. Another voter claims it's proof the election is rigged.
I have full confidence in Minnesota's SOS to count all of the votes.
However, I wonder why we still trust private #BlackBox companies to do this. We need #OpenSource systems maintained by public employees.
