Social media sites then make their money by selling targeted advertising, meaning selling ads to specific groups of people with specific interests. So, for example, if you are selling spider stuffed animal toys, most people might not be interested, but if you could find the people who want those toys and only show your ads to them, your advertising campaign might be successful, and those users might be happy to find out about your stuffed animal toys. But targeting advertising can be used in less ethical ways, such as targeting gambling ads at children, or at users who are addicted to gambling, or the 2016 Trump campaign ‘target[ing] 3.5m black Americans to deter them from voting’ { requestKernel: true, binderOptions: { repo: "binder-examples/jupyter-stacks-datascience", ref: "master", }, codeMirrorConfig: { theme: "abcdef", mode: "python" }, kernelOptions: { kernelName: "python3", path: "./ch08_data_mining" }, predefinedOutput: true } kernelName = 'python3'
Social media sites are financially incentivized to collect our data to sell to advertised. However, this has some unintended consequences such as targeting gambling ads towards children and perpetuating addictions. Consumer rights regarding data is paramount to ensure such practices are used ethically.

In the Black Lives Matters protests of 2020, Dallas Police made an app where they asked people to upload videos of protesters doing anything illegal. In support of the protesters, K-pop fans swarmed the app and uploaded as many K-pop videos as they could eventually leading to the app crashing and becoming unusable, and thus protecting the protesters from this attempt at Police surveillance.
First of all this is hilarious. However, this does veer near vigilantism which raises some ethical questions. At what point should individuals/unregulated groups take justice into their own hands. The issue arises in who gets to define what justice is and is not.

All though these activities are trolling-adjacent I think there something special about truly trolling somebody on the internet. The fact that they don't know a thing about you and there's nothing about it is the cherry on top, which can never be recreated offline.

Inauthentic interaction can even be valuable. We might outright lie to someone to cover our tracks when planning them a surprise party. Once the surprise is revealed, the inauthentic interactions can be retrospectively reinterpreted, and offense is not taken.
The idea that inauthentic interaction is still valuable is an interesting concept. The entire concept of acting and theater is predicated on the paradoxical concept of authentic inauthenticity. The basis of a medium of artistic expression is the imitation of authenticity, yet it is this basis that allows them to connect authentically with the audience.

Stores and homes were looted and set on fire. When Tulsa firefighters arrived, they were turned away by white vigilantes. A number of eyewitness accounts described private aircraft being used to shoot into black crowds and drop turpentine firebombs onto black-owned buildings, suggesting the well-organized attack might have been planned in advance.
The racism and hate were so extreme that many deaths and many lives lost. The suggestion that this was an organized attack just go to show how much hate they had.

Women gained increased opportunities to work outside the home. The number of professional women rose significantly in the 1920s. But limits still existed,
Equality was in the grasp but still the was the impression that women are only useful in the home.
-
It was the decade of the “New Woman,” in which only 10 percent of married women (but nearly half of unmarried women) worked outside the home. It was a decade in which new technologies decreased time requirements for household chores, and one in which standards of cleanliness and order in the home rose to often impossible standards.
This decade allowed for women to do more things instead of just housework. Equality seemed more and more attainable in this decade as women had more opportunities just as the men.

The 1920s also witnessed the maturation of professional sports. Play-by-play radio broadcasts of collegiate and professional sporting events marked a new era for sports, despite the racial segregation in most.
Sports has a way of changing the focus on to only the sport and its outcome. It was a new form of entertainment and a way that different peoples can come together.

“Change is in the very air Americans breathe, and consumer changes are the very bricks out of which we are building our new kind of civilization,” announced marketing expert and home economist Christine Frederick in her influential 1929 book, Selling Mrs. Consumer (which she incidentally dedicated to Herbert Hoover).
Most people aren't ready for a change and like things to stay the way they are, but I think people have to accept that life is always changing.

natural
I know this is contentious territory in this group, but the relationship between "natural" and "ethical" is complicated. There are many things that are natural but unethical. The real question is: what are the criteria that we might use to judge natural things as being ethical or unethical? Singer seems to have some.
-
A levelized morality that is rational, global, and actively meliorist fits almost perfectly with this new-age liberalism. This levelized morality can be calculated and outsourced just the same as a manufacturing job. If, for example, it’s more efficient to make an air conditioner in Mexico than in Ohio, then you gut the town in Ohio and ship the parts from Mexico. With EA’s levelized morality, if your money is most effective fighting malaria in Africa, then you stop caring about your neighbors and outsource your moral caring there.
I see the comparison here, and think that there is merit to it. The "outsourcing" point is particularly strong--i.e. it is tempting to outsource moral actions to simplified optimization functions, which entice us to jump to conclusions about what is good. The question, though, is whether or not Singer encourages this. That is a tougher case. My sense is that Singer would NOT explicitly endorse that kind of behavior, even if he DOES implicitly endorse it, as a way to nudge people to become "more moral than they might otherwise be" according to his tastes.
-
All humans lean on moral frameworks to make daily decisions, structure their lives, decide what to do with their time, and determine how to act in the world, including elites.
Important point. People, especially those who are not philosophers, outsource their moral decision-making and opinion-forming to their "cave" of opinion, and moral habits formed therein.
-
What I want to convince you of is that the values of neoliberalism don’t just dictate our economic lives but also influence our moral and spiritual lives, and that neoliberalism does so by asserting values that directly conflict with what it is to be human. Fortunately, there is a convenient way to investigate this influence. Gray’s list (“individualist, egalitarian, universalist, and meliorist”), is essentially the philosophy of Peter Singer.
Calling this out as the thrust of the piece. Is Rudy able to defend this point? (FWIW seems like it's still an interesting argument, even if the neolib/lib distinction is not make perfectly clear.)
-
A big focus of neoliberalism is on the individual.
It'll be a heavy lift to differentiate neolib from lib on the basis of individualism, i.e., to say that liberalism does NOT focus on the individual.
-
But perhaps the most interesting claim of Gray’s list is that liberalism is “meliorism.” If you think about it, it is quite odd that a political philosophy founded on freedoms could evolve to the point where its defenders believe its purpose is to make the world better.
This doesn't strike me as a conflict. In Second Treatise Ch 5, doesn't Locke more or less explicitly call for the conquering of nature/wilderness for the sake of improving the world? Improving in the sense of "making more productive."
-
measurable dimensions
I really appreciate this kind of objection. I recently heard this called the tyranny of the easily measureable. There's a serious problem here though. Things that cannot be measured are very hard to reason about. And I think much (maybe not all) of ethics is about reasoning through what is right and wrong. So, not every good should be measurable, but that doesn't mean there isn't a place for measurability.
-
the Singerian story is that you should treat people the same whether they live just down the street from you or on the other side of the world.
I think at his strongest, this is true. There's so much to be said here though. Related to the last comment, his argument almost forces us to come to some version of this conclusion ourselves, by relying on our intuitions. "Oh, you think it's immoral to let this kid that you don't really know but is proximate to you drown? Why is that different from a kid on the other side of the world that you don't know? That seems like a legitimate question. The assertion that distance matters is not much more than an assertion. If this thought experiment doesn't cause you to completely flatten your concern curve, should cause you to question its derivative...
-
clearly be immoral not to save the kid
This may be a minor point, but I sometimes think Singer is more sublte than this. I think he is saying that we have a strong intuition that saving the kid is the moral thing to do, and that intuition is also relevant to saving other kids. I think that's slightly different than saying it's "clearly immoral" not to save the kid. I think if you want to bite that bullet, he doesn't have much more to say (at least the old PS; I hear he's changing his views a bit).
-
Classical liberalism did have a focus on the individual, but there was always a subtext that the point of classical liberalism was to enable freedoms that would allow the individual to assert themselves to make society better off.
I think I agree with this claim. But doesn't it make sense of what you state as being odd above. Specifically, here, you are claiming that there has always been a component of progress in classical liberalism. I think that is exactly what Gray is claiming with meiorism. But above, you say, "But perhaps the most interesting claim of Gray’s list is that liberalism is 'meliorism.' If you think about it, it is quite odd that a political philosophy founded on freedoms could evolve to the point where its defenders believe its purpose is to make the world better."
-
it’s that (for example) you have a specific right to an outcome—to exist independently of “social collectivity.”
I can see how one might go in this direction, and how it leads to neoliberalism. But I think that is part of Fuk's point: liberalism exists on a knfe edge; there are excesses in both directions (left/right). In a liberal society, neither the Catholic church nor racial, ethinc, or gender groups have a claim on the individual.
-
Gray’s four tenets are not “rights;” they lean much more toward “outcomes” or “duties” to ensure an outcome.
I don't come to this conclusion at all. For example, the fact that all people are of equal moral status does not imply that all people will have the same outcomes. The fact that everyone has the right to, idk, a k12 education, does not imply that everyone do the same thing with that opportunity--some will rise to the occasion, some just won't have what it takes to achieve, and others will squander the opportunity. I don't think anything Gray is saying here is blocking these different outcomes. .
-
Civil rights (property and self)Religious rights (worship)Political rights (speech)These rights were foundational to the philosophic framework of America and to our modern, global, liberal system.
My view is that there is a relatively clear mapping from Locke to Gray. The list that is given here for Locke is clearly lacking details. For example, who are the bearers of these rights? Locke had an asnwer, but it's not here. Gray gives us an answer: Individuals, not collectives; it's not the case that some get more rights than others; all humans, not just some.

To calculate the sugar content for the cranberry juice and the root beer, first calculatethe average density of the celebration standard, 2% sugar. This is found by first subtracting thefinal mass of both the beaker and the liquid by the initial mass of just the beaker to find theliquid's mass of the 2% sugar. Then using the density equation d=m/v where d= density, v=volume and m=mass. Use the mass found by subtracting the final and initial and divide it bythe constant 10 mL of 2% sugar. Then repeat this for each trial, it was repeated 2 more times fora total of 3 more times. Using the 3 density’s find the average by adding all the desitys of 2%sugar and dividing it by 3. These calculations where completed for both the cranberry juice andthe root beer. After calculating each of those using the calibration standard averages of theclass for the sugar % create a plot graph and a trend line (Graph 1). Using the trend lineequation where x represents the % sugar content and y represents the density in g/mL,substitute the average density of both cranberry juice and the root beer into the y of the trendline equation. Then solve for x, the % sugar content.
Past tense, equation needs proper format and check grammar.

To begin use a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask and fill it with about 50 mL of 2% sugar liquid.Measure a 50 mL beaker by using a balance, record value. Then using that 50 mL beaker and a10 mL volumetric pipette plus pipette filler, fill the 10 mL volumetric pipette and filler to 10.00 mLof 2% sugar. Put the liquid in the volumetric pipette into the 50mL beaker that was previouslymeasured. Next measure and record the mass of the beaker using the balance. This processwas repeated 2 more times for a total of 3 trials Then using a cranberry juice using the samesteps and doing a total of 3 trials. Once more do the same steps using root beer for a total of 3trials.
Needs to be in past tense. Also use actual equation set up.
-
Next measure and record the mass of the beaker using the balance. This processwas repeated 2 more times for a total of 3
It goes from steps back to past tense. It doesn't entirely make sense given that this should all be in past tense and not in a step by step format like how this sentence describes. The first sentence is in present tense to begin with, instead it should be "The mass of the beaker was then recorded using a balance."
-
Using a balance, place weigh paper on it and zero the scale. Using that measure a metalrod and record measurement. Then take a 25 mL graduated cylinder and fill about half withwater then record the exact volume. In the graduated cylinder add the metal rod, record the newvolume.

There were times when it generated “hallucinations”—that is, it would suggest standards that didn’t make sense or align with the lesson. The key to avoiding these pitfalls was to treat AI as part of a human-centered workflow. AI is great for doing the heavy lifting, but I’ve learned that it’s not meant to produce a final deliverable on its own.

a dominant belief that “native English = standardEnglish = international intelligibility” (also reigning in the Anglophonecampus examined in Beirut), where students are required to conform toand reproduce putatively fixed and standardized native English speaker(NES)10 norms and criteria of correctness in their academic studies,continues to hold sway (Jenkins 2014, 122)
This is a predominate view of language even in anglophone Africa. I can confidently speak at least to my experience as a Ghanaian. Up until university, I was taught to aspire to a native-like (standard English) proficiency in speaking and writing which also equates to white-English. As an English major and a sociolinguist, I learned to deconstruct that notion. My class room experiences helped me challenge that supposed ideal of reaching 'native English' = 'Standard English'.

Three sentences on what I just read,
I believe that BAP is aware of his place in history just like I assume Yuval does. Both authors are not writing as bots recording facts but provide a specialized idological prism to see our current civilization through. Each prisim has its own take, Yuval trying to articulate what the Silicon Valley "Open Conspiracy" types dream of. BAP trying to remind us what it was like to actually be part of history.
The "Why don't CEO's have Harrem's" is the one thing here that is going to stick with me. The women of today are so different from the past. In fact maybe the "Brave New World" reality of nameless sex with strangers and nude play as children is a more desireable world to the Incel, video game, monster can drinking of today.
It seems like the Puritan/Christian sexual practices have really shaped the west into becoming what it is today. I believe most men get their sense of identity from the type of sex they have access to. What's weird about modernity is that we are talking about sex rahter than women with the inherent consideration of children.
This population collapse, as articulated on the Georga Guide Stones, is going to be interesting.

The
It’s the first study with enough data to do this kind of comparison, and it offers strong evidence about the factors that influence people’s chances of moving beyond the economic status they were born into. Some of the key factors include education, family structure, and the economic setup of the cities people live in.
-
Both white and black residents of Atlanta have low upward mobility, for instance.
This is a case where while being a certain race can make the journey up hard, being born in a "bad area" can make it difficult to, regardless of who you are. People born in these circumstances have no choice but to fight harder to enjoy the same life others can achieve with far less effort, a fact that, while unfair, is true.
-
“Where you grow up matters,” said Nathaniel Hendren, a Harvard economist and one of the study’s authors.
This rings true to many people around the world, not just America. Whereas some people in the US have to "climb their way out" where they are from, people from the Philippines for example, have to work their way to places like the US for better life prospects. And still, they want to be near an urban area where jobs pay more, not in the middle of nowhere where some Americans are born into.
-
Her nearly four-hour round-trip stems largely from the economic geography of Atlanta,
This seems absurd to me. Why are there no good jobs near her? Why is she stuck spending a sixth of her day traveling to and from work? There needs to be more accessible jobs, or at least, more efficient transportation.
-
Still, earlier studies have already found that education and family structure have a large effect on the chances that children escape poverty.
This makes me think about our discussion about what schools are here for. In this case, it would be social mobility. Also, escaping poverty reminds me of a class I took that focused on this topic. One discussion that stuck with me was the idea that most people with high SES support escaping poverty because it still maintains poverty as an unavoidable thing. In the end, there will still be impoverished people to uphold the 1 percent.

Looking up a topic up on the internet, getting ideas, and writing about it is very different from copying sections from an article without attribution. Similarly, direct copying from content produced by generative AI tools requires disclosure, but using that content for ideation does not. Consider also the need for accountability. Blindly trusting in generative AI output is unwise and often unethical. AI output cannot be cited because it is not referenceable. Validating AI output by consulting reliable sources to arrive at a sound conclusion is surely reasonable.
Sounds like we should be teaching people to skip the middleman (middle bot?) and just go to the “reliable sources,” then, huh?

One of the early ways of social communication across the internet was with Email, which originated in the 1960s and 1970s. These allowed people to send messages to each other, and look up if any new messages had been sent to them.
It's also interesting to know that the first ever version of the internet was just a connection of multiple computers at first and then evolved into this network where users could only read, to now doing so many stuff with it.

As a Chinese student, I was shocked to read this text, I did not think that in the 1960s and 1970s, there were already E-mail boxes in the world. In my opinion, the 1960s and 1970s seemed to be the period when China vigorously developed industry and agriculture, and such things as E-mail and computers seemed very remote to China at that time.

Come lovely and soothing death, Undulate round the world, serenely arriving, arriving, In the day, in the night, to all, to each, Sooner or later delicate death. Prais’d be the fathomless universe, For life and joy, and for objects and knowledge curious, And for love, sweet love—but praise! praise! praise! For the sure-enwinding arms of cool-enfolding death. Dark mother always gliding near with soft feet, Have none chanted for thee a chant of fullest welcome? Then I chant it for thee, I glorify thee above all, I bring thee a song that when thou must indeed come, come unfalteringly. Approach strong deliveress, When it is so, when thou hast taken them I joyously sing the dead, Lost in the loving floating ocean of thee, Laved in the flood of thy bliss O death. From me to thee glad serenades, Dances for thee I propose saluting thee, adornments and feastings for thee, And the sights of the open landscape and the high-spread sky are fitting, And life and the fields, and the huge and thoughtful night. The night in silence under many a star, The ocean shore and the husky whispering wave whose voice I know, And the soul turning to thee O vast and well-veil’d death, And the body gratefully nestling close to thee. Over the tree-tops I float thee a song, Over the rising and sinking waves, over the myriad fields and the prairies wide, Over the dense-pack’d cities all and the teeming wharves and ways, I float this carol with joy, with joy to thee O death.
In the seven consecutive unrhymed four-line stanzas, Whitman provides the song's lyrics. An apostrophe directly addresses the celebration of death in these stanzas. Whitman wishes for death to arrive since he believes it will eventually come to everyone, day or night, and he sees it as a peaceful incident. He praises the universe and love in the second of these stanzas, but he also hails death, as if it were an equal partner in love. He addresses death as a mother and welcomes her in the song's third verse. The fifth verse claims that Whitman will sing with the dead when their time comes since death is an ocean of love and happiness, using the bird's song as a metaphor. This subject is carried over into the last three stanzas of the bird's song. Death, for body and soul alike, is welcome wherever it occurs. The song in favor of death is spread throughout the nation, over cities, fields, and prairies, as the final verse makes clear. It is a song of joy even if it is a song of death.
-
Comrades mine and I in the midst, and their memory ever to keep, for the dead I loved so well, For the sweetest, wisest soul of all my days and lands—and this for his dear sake, Lilac and star and bird twined with the chant of my soul,
Whitman leaves behind his vision of the battlefield, the lilac plant blooming in the dooryard, the sight of the evening star, and the song of the bird and the song it inspired in him. But for the sake of the deceased guy he loved, he will always remember them all.
-
Sadly sinking and fainting, as warning and warning, and yet again bursting with joy,
Leaves all of these memories behind with joy
-
But I saw they were not as was thought, They themselves were fully at rest, they suffer’d not, The living remain’d and suffer’d, the mother suffer’d, And the wife and the child and the musing comrade suffer’d, And the armies that remain’d suffer’d.
Though he sees countless skeletons and bodies, he understands that these troops are now at peace and are no longer in pain. The living are the ones who suffer—the surviving soldiers, the surviving loved ones of the deceased, and the legions of survivors.
-
The violet and purple morn with just-felt breezes, The gentle soft-born measureless light, The miracle spreading bathing all, the fulfill’d noon, The coming eve delicious, the welcome night and the stars,
Whitman expands this mental image to involve Manhattan in New York City as well as the entire country, extending from north to south and east to west. He praises the sun in the morning, midday, and evening, as well as the stars and the night sky. He calls the whole thing a miracle.
-
Sea-winds blown from east and west, Blown from the Eastern sea and blown from the Western sea, till there on the prairies meeting, These and with these and the breath of my chant, I’ll perfume the grave of him I love.
Whitman questions himself how he can show the man he loved the most that he has lost. What melodies can he perform, what scent can he leave behind after he dies? He chooses to use a metaphor to describe the winds as the breath of his song, which originate in the east and meet in the prairies. He's going to cover the grave with that perfume.
-
But a moment I linger, for the lustrous star has detain’d me, The star my departing comrade holds and detains me.
The star, which represents a person's loss, seeks to distract the bird while it sings, holding and imprisoning him.
-
I hear, I come presently, I understand you,
Whitman listens, understands, and encourages the singing bird to keep singing.
-
(Nor for you, for one alone, Blossoms and branches green to coffins all I bring, For fresh as the morning, thus would I chant a song for you O sane and sacred death.
Whitman embraces "death" with his fresh-picked lilacs and other flowers. He wishes to share the beauty he sees in these flowers with the other coffins in addition to this one.
-
Carrying a corpse to where it shall rest in the grave, Night and day journeys a coffin.
Whitman's description of a corpse being carried across the country, through towns and countryside to its final resting place, makes it less depressing by the vivid images he provides.
-
great cloud darkening the land,
grief
-
The hermit withdrawn to himself, avoiding the settlements, Sings by himself a song. Song of the bleeding throat, Death’s outlet song of life, (for well dear brother I know, If thou wast not granted to sing thou would’st surely die.)
In the loneliness of the swamp, the thrush sings a song that hurts its throat; if the bird hadn't given it the ability to sing, he would have preferred to die.
-
In the dooryard fronting an old farm-house near the white-wash’d palings, Stands the lilac-bush tall-growing with heart-shaped leaves of rich green, With many a pointed blossom rising delicate, with the perfume strong I love, With every leaf a miracle—and from this bush in the dooryard, With delicate-color’d blossoms and heart-shaped leaves of rich green, A sprig with its flower I break.
Whitman gives the lilac bush a heart and a strong scent which he loves. With its delicate color, heart shaped leaves with miracle, to which he proceeds to breaks off a twig of the bush, with its flower.

Associating the darkness with grief
-
When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom’d, And the great star early droop’d in the western sky in the night, I mourn’d, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring. Ever-returning spring, trinity sure to me you bring, Lilac blooming perennial and drooping star in the west, And thought of him I love.
Every Spring Whitman mourns when the lilacs were blooming and the evening star (Venus), was visible in the sky at night, as it reminds him of a man he loved.

death? Decomposing in the earth? Reminds me of Wendell Berry's poems about dying and nature
-
My lovers suffocate me, Crowding my lips, thick in the pores of my skin, Jostling me through streets and public halls, coming naked to me at night, Crying by day Ahoy! from the rocks of the river, swinging and chirping over my head, Calling my name from flower-beds, vines, tangled underbrush, Lighting on every moment of my life, Bussing my body with soft balsamic busses, Noiselessly passing handfuls out of their hearts and giving them to be mine.
he lives a busy life I guess

Making a fetich of the first rock or stump, powowing with sticks in the circle of obis, Helping the llama or brahmin as he trims the lamps of the idols, Dancing yet through the streets in a phallic procession,
not sure what's going on here...

I am one of the citizens,
I feel like he's a little more than a citizen at this point

toxic amounts of empathy that disrespect the other person and yourself, no way to look after the wounded

surprising metaphor though it works

And these tend inward to me, and I tend outward to them, And such as it is to be of these more or less I am,

I found it really interesting how updates and information was shared before the rise of the internet. Particularly the grafiti updates. I think that it was a creative way to share information to a large amount of people.
-
Graffiti and other notes left on walls were used for sharing updates, spreading rumors, and tracking accounts Books and news write-ups had to be copied by hand, so that only the most desired books went “viral” and spread
I never thought of the idea of social media prior to internet. I always made the connections that social media was created after internet. But after reading this i can understand how graffti as well as books can be considered social media.
-
Graffiti and other notes left on walls were used for sharing updates, spreading rumors, and tracking accounts
This reminds me of a joke popular in WWI, where soldiers found graffiti stating "Kilroy was here" with a long-nosed bald man peeking over something. It was a simple doodle to recreate, so the graffiti spread with multiple actors contributing.
-
pretty much anything can count as social media, and the things we will see in internet-based social media show up in many other places as well.
I find this to be very interesting because history classes don't really mention or bring up this topic too often when it comes to making connections between the past and present when it comes to social media and the development of communication mediums.

Before this centralization of media in the 1900s, newspapers and pamphlets were full of rumors and conspiracy theories
The centralization of media is an interesting to note because before the fragmentation of culture due to social media, everyone would consume the same shows, news, and media. Nowadays, with the prevalence of an individualized content diet, we are able to consume more niche content with the caveat of no longer being guaranteed to share a cultural foundation
-
Before this centralization of media in the 1900s, newspapers and pamphlets were full of rumors and conspiracy theories.
An interesting point to note is the centralization of media before social media. Back before social media had fragmented culture into niche subgroups, it would be more common for everyone to consume the same shows, watch the same movies, and to recognize the same stars. Nowadays, our notably fragmented media diet has allowed for more individualized taste with the cost of having less in common consumption wise with others.

This is an interesting example of how social media doesn't have to depend on technology, in fact some notes; Graffiti walls; Bulletin boards and other things that can be used as carriers of information transmission can also be called "social media". From this perspective, technology only increases its functions and improves the efficiency of information transmission for social media, and its basic form has been finalized before the emergence of software and smart phones.

This part of the reaiding racial disparities in housing opportunities in the mid-20th century. White Americans had the privilege of choosing where to live. At the same time, Black Americans were restricted by racial covenants—legal agreements that prevented the sale of property to non-white buyers—and racist realtors, limiting their housing options to industrial suburbs like Ferguson, located on the north side of the city.

As one of its first advertisements proclaimed in 1970, Irvine was designed to be a park-like space with white-collar industries. A pigtailed young girl is pictured standing in front of impressive modernist architecture,above these lines of less refined yet fascinating poetry: “If I could wish a place to live, / I’d wish it putsomewhere / where grass is green and flowers give / a wonder to the air. // If I could wish my daddy’s work, /I’d wish it neat and clean; / and not where smog and uglies lurk / but more like parks I’ve seen.” Thephrase “not where smog and uglies lurk” hints that other suburbs might have factories or factory workers. It isa subtle acknowledgment of spaces like Ferguson.
The phrase “not where smog and uglies lurk” suggests that other suburban areas, such as Ferguson, might be associated with factories, blue-collar work, and environmental degradation, further implying that Irvine represents a more desirable, elite alternative. The language reflects the socio-economic and racial divides that often separated white-collar, planned communities from more industrialized, working-class ones.

I found it interesting that as the popularity of social media grew the urge to create a version of social media that had no restrictions grew as-well. I think this led tot he creation of 4Chan and Something Awful. This goes to show how Social Media can turn morally unethical really quickly.

8Chan is also the source and home of the false conspiracy theory QAnon
I watched a documentary specifically on the QAnon conspiracy, and the documentary shifts focus early on to focusing on 8chan. It's very unnerving watching how these people use their own platform and QAnon to make the most profit, regardless of the societal harm they are causing. It is partially for this reason the documentary accuses the founders/admins of 8chan to, if not QAnon themselves, be working in collaboration with them.
-
The comedy website Something Awful was created in 1999, and it included web forums where many popular memes of the day originated. While the Something Awful forums had edgy content, one 15-year-old member of the Something Awful forum called “Anime Death Tentacle Rape Whorehouse” was frustrated by content restrictions on Something Awful, and created his own new site with less restrictions: 4Chan. 5.5.2. 4Chan# 4Chan was created in 2003 by copying the code from a Japanese image-sharing bulletin board called Futaba or 2chan.
Its funny how even on a site named "Something awful" a person still felt restricted. But I cant say im mad about it because i feel like i heard a couple useful stories from 4chan due to the lack of restrictions.
-
8Chan (now called 8Kun) is an image-sharing bulletin board site that was started in 2013. It has been host to white-supremacist, neo-nazi and other hate content. 8Chan has had trouble finding companies to host its servers and internet registration due to the presence of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), and for being the place where various mass shooters spread their hateful manifestos. 8Chan is also the source and home of the false conspiracy theory QAnon
Whenever I think of the dark web, I see 8Chan to be a platform amongst the most accessible. The concept of it is absolutely unhinged and it is wild how they were able to manage to keep the site up and running. It is quite alarming to think that if a community of problematic incels could create such a toxic website, imagine what they could do next.
-
While mainstream social media platforms grew in popularity, there was a parallel growth of social media platforms that were based on having “no rules”, and were sources for many memes and pieces of internet culture, as well as hubs of much anti-social behavior (e.g., trolling, harassment, hate-groups, murders, etc.).
The anonymity aspect of such platform breeds a toxic culture due to groupthink. The lack of accountability allows people to display the worst parts of themselves in a space that encourages such behavior. The shock culture of these communities shifts what is considered normal, and this community has bled out and impacted other online spaces such as during raids.

you
I feel like the user interface is a super important part of social media as if we talked about in class for making connections and meeting new people. I forgot what that circle you made in class was but it goes over what social media does to you as a person and what you can gain from it as well. But overall the user interface I would say connects a lot to the circle you showed us.
-
Designers sometimes talk about trying to make their user interfaces frictionless, meaning the user can use the site without feeling anything slowing them down.
Yes, that is important when navigating the need to create a program that is 'user-friendly." Users can navigate more efficiently when an interface clearly communicates how it should be interacted with could reduce errors and frustrations significantly. Strong feature support promotes product success by facilitating ease of use and increasing user satisfaction, which is key in today’s competitive digital environment.
-
One famous example of reducing friction was the invention of infinite scroll. When trying to view results from a search, or look through social media posts, you could only view a few at a time, and to see more you had to press a button to see the next “page” of results. This is how both Google search and Amazon search work at the time this is written. In 2006, Aza Raskin invented infinite scroll, where you can scroll to the bottom of the current results, and new results will get automatically filled in below. Most social media sites now use this, so you can then scroll forever and never hit an obstacle or friction as you endlessly look at social media posts. Aza Raskin regrets what infinite scroll has done to make it harder for users to break away from looking at social media sites.
Yes, infinite scrolling really makes people more addicted to social media. For example, TikTok, I think it's also a kind of infinite scrolling, you can never finish watching short videos, and at the same time, when you finish watching the previous short video, you will look forward to the next content, so it makes you addicted.

Psychosocial deprivations also seem to be a cause of gambling-like behavior in both pigeons and humans
Dopamine is the brain's "reward" chemical, and it gets released when we expect something good, like food or positive social interaction. When someone experiences social deprivation, such as a lack of maternal care, the brain compensates by releasing more dopamine to motivate the person to seek rewards or comfort elsewhere. This increased dopamine release drives people to find other rewarding activities, sometimes leading to risky behaviors like gambling, where they continue seeking that dopamine-fueled reward, even when the outcomes are uncertain
-
but the attractiveness of uncertain rewards is so widespread in the animal kingdom that this tendency should have an adaptive origin. Here we suggest a hypothesis
In nature, animals can’t always predict when they’ll find food or other important things. First, resources like food are spread out randomly, so animals have to keep trying until they find what they need. Second, cues that signal rewards, like fruit trees, aren't always reliable because the trees don’t have fruit all year. When animals face this uncertainty, their motivation kicks in to keep them going, even when they keep failing. This explains why unpredictability, like in gambling, can keep people engaged even when they’re losing.
-
Recently, we have shown in adult rats that an initial exposure (8 days) to conditioned cues predicting highly uncertain rewards sensitizes responding to those cues in the long term (for at least 20 days) despite a gradual reduction in the level of uncertainty
damn

monetary wins are conceived as the opportunity to extend the duration of play, rather than the game's main objective.
OMG like my rumikub lmaoo
-
several payoff schedules (slot machines, roulette, and dice game of craps) have a probability of winning close to 50%, so that they are expected to elicit maximal DA release and, therefore, reinforce the act of gambling.
!!!!!!!!!!
-
. A predictable game is dull, just like a detective novel for which the identity of the murderer is known in advance.
OMG USE THIS
-
PG, accumbens DA is maximal during a gambling task when the probability of winning and losing money is identical—a 50% chance for a two-outcome event representing maximal uncertainty
!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Possibly related to this phenomenon is the evidence that, compared with gains, the amount of monetary losses has limited effect on the extent to which probabilistic (and delayed) losses are discounted in humans
people are less concerned with their REAL losses than they are with their POTENTIAL gains
-
This finding that DA release is higher in PG losing money than in PG winning money is consistent with the evidence that “near misses” enhance the motivation to gamble and recruit the brain reward circuit more than “big wins”
OMG WTF
-
Dopamine release in the ventral striatum, however, was more pronounced for the losses in PG relative to HC
!!!!!!!!!!!
-
the more PG lose money, the more they tend to persevere in this activity—a phenomenon referred to as loss-chasing
!!!!!!!!
-
Although the traditional view is in agreement with neuroscientific data, it fails to explain why people often describe gambling as a pleasant activity rather than as an opportunity to gain money
!!!!
-
For example, Joutsa et al. (2012) showed that DA is released in the ventral striatum during instances of high- but not low-reward, in both PG and HC, and that the severity of symptoms in PG is associated with larger DA responses.
. In people with PG, the more severe their gambling symptoms, the larger the dopamine release. This suggests that heightened dopamine responses in reward situations may be linked to the severity of gambling problems.

Now, encountering some of these new converts, theytried to find out the extent of their knowledge, and for all found out that they did not knoweven how to make the sign of the Cross; some did not know their Baptismal names, andwhen asked if they were Christians, they made signs to show that they had never heard theword. They did not know any prayers, nor articles of faith, and gave no evidence of anychange from the past, always retaining the same old sorceries, coming to Church moreover,only as the unbaptized, that is, occasionally, for company's sake, or through curiosity, andnot in a devotional spirit. Indeed some of our countrymen tell us, that when they were bythemselves, they insolently made sport of our ceremonies
This is key evidence of why Biard is so determined to properly Catechize any converts to the Christian religion before they are baptized. This anecdotal evidence supports his point that simply baptizing people is not enough to produce practicing, faithful Christians.
-
Now to say that it isenough to beget, without thinking of how to maintain, is really saying that it is good to givelife in order to take it away cruelly, which is not the act of a Father, but is worse than that ofa murderer.
This further emphasizes how important Biard finds proper Catechization. He exemplifies this point later on in the document by referencing converted Christian's who were really only Christian in theory but not in practice.

Sol and Luna
There are so many interesting references to Greek mythology here as well as inconsistencies and rewritten narratives around the mythology. I am wondering if Sol and Luna here is a reference to Apollo and Artemis who are sister and brother and god of the sun and goddess of the moon respectively. It is also very interesting how there is linguistic adaptation of "Sol and Luna" especially since Maier was German.

Draw a rough sketch of the view of the site, and then make a list of: What actions would you want available immediately What actions would you want one or two steps away? What actions would you not allow users to do (e.g., there is no button anywhere that will let you delete someone else’s account)?
I would like users to access extra contents of a post(picture, comments, number of likes) immediately. Users can immediately do some positive interaction with the post(writing comment, leaving likes, Subscribe). However, I will set posting and deleting post one or two steps away, to prevent some users accidentally post their privacy or delete their posts.
-
Open two social media sites and choose equivalent views on each (e.g., a list of posts, an individual post, an author page etc.). List what actions are immediately available. Then explore and see what actions are available after one additional action (e.g., opening a menu), then what actions are two steps away. What do you notice about the similarities and differences in these sites?
I compared Twitter (now X) and Instagram post views. Both immediately allow likes, comments, and sharing. One step away, Twitter offers retweets and quoting, while Instagram allows saving posts. Two steps away, Twitter gives options like adding to lists, and Instagram provides reporting. Both focus on easy engagement but differ in extra features like lists vs. post saving.
-
Now it’s your turn to try designing a social media site. Decide a type of social media site (e.g., a video site like youtube or tiktok, or a dating site, etc.), and a particular view of that site (e.g., profile picture, post, comment, etc.). Draw a rough sketch of the view of the site, and then make a list of: What actions would you want available immediately What actions would you want one or two steps away? What actions would you not allow users to do (e.g., there is no button anywhere that will let you delete someone else’s account)?
For a social media site focused on collaborative learning (like a mix of Reddit and Khan Academy), I'd design a profile page showing posts, achievements, and study interests. Immediate actions: create posts, comment, upvote. One or two steps away: start discussions, follow users. Not allowed: deleting others' posts, editing achievements.

Below are some summaries of a selection ethics frameworks. There are many more ethics frameworks which we haven’t included here, and these explanations are all way oversimplified. We hope that this gives you a start to understanding each framework, and a range of options for how to think through ethics in social media and programming.
2.2.3
An additional ethical framework specific to AI ethics would be "AI4People - An Ethical Framework for a Good AI Society: Opportunities, Risks, Principles, and Recommendations" used in governance regarding AI in the European Union.
The core tenants are to view AI as a tool to enhance to human experience, such as enabling self-realization, agency, and social cohesion while avoiding devaluing human skills.

Kumail Nanjiani was a star of the Silicon Valley TV Show, which was about the tech industry. He posted these reflections on ethics in tech on Twitter (@kumailn) on November 1, 2017:
1.2.1
Kumail Nanjiani’s point regarding the lack of incentives for large corporations to consider ethics was something extremely interesting. Their lack of preparation when being asked ethical issues demonstrates the fault of the prevailing incentive and economic structures valuing growth, especially in big tech spaces, in favor of ethical questions.

This means that how you gather your data will affect what data you come up with. If you have really comprehensive data about potential outcomes, then your utility calculus will be more complicated, but will also be more realistic. On the other hand, if you have only partial data, the results of your utility calculus may become skewed. If you think about the potential impact of a set of actions on all the people you know and like, but fail to consider the impact on people you do not happen to know, then you might think those actions would lead to a huge gain in utility, or happiness
From a utilitarian perspective, using data driven analytics to drive actions to maximize the happiness of the whole would depend largely on the quality of said collected data. Specifically regarding the unknown factors not collected in data analysis. This would be a general flaw since we as humans do not know what we don't know, and what may be a blind spot to us could have significant real world consequences depending on the situation.

2003 saw the launch of several popular social networking services: Friendster, Myspace, and LinkedIn. These were websites where the primary purpose was to build personal profiles and create a network of connections with other people, and communicate with them. Facebook was launched in 2004 and soon put most of its competitors out of business, while YouTube, launched in 2005 became a different sort of social networking site built around video.
I found that social media users have high stickiness. When I saw that Facebook caused many social media platforms to close down, I thought about why Facebook still has a lot of users since its inception. I think the high stickiness of social media users is because they have posted a lot of posts on this software. When they change the social media they use, the new social media does not have the posts they posted before, so they are reluctant to change.

As you can see in the apple example, any time we turn something into data, we are making a simplification.1 If we are counting the number of something, like apples, we are deciding that each one is equivalent. If we are writing down what someone said, we are losing their tone of voice, accent, etc. If we are taking a photograph, it is only from one perspective, etc.
The concept of nuance being lost in translation from reality to data is notable because this may have larger ethical and moral implications. The person in control of how the data is collected and formatted will embed their implicit biases within the collected data source, a data source that would be taken as "fact".

our current approach of criminalizing and institutionalizing poverty
New York has opted for policies that criminalize poverty, such as militarized policing, mass incarceration, and punitive measures against houselessness. These tactics often fail to address the underlying causes of poverty and instead exacerbate the suffering by destabilizing communities and furthering injustices. This critique is directly connected to the historical practice of redlining and other discriminatory policies that systematically disadvantage already marginalized communities.

These New Deal programs certainly did not invent racist exclusion or valuation in real estate, but they did institutionalize, codify and invest tremendous federal resources in the idea that Blacks, certain immigrants and other populations lacking “character” or “pride” were not just unworthy of homeownership but were “detrimental influences” destined to drive down property values.
I also chose this quote because i feel like it has alot of weight when talking about the current impact redlining has and the impact it has silently had in our society for decades. It also helps us dive into what "The new Deal is" and how the creators had ill intentions with it. It also helps describe the impact this bill had on the citizens of the united states.

Anna is actually called "excessive" by a man she picks up earlyin the novel because she doesn't meet his expectations for how a young woman ofher station ought to behave around an older, wealthy man (13).

This note shows how random the family's disappearance was, leading to further confusion from Katie.
some specific work with the image to connect it to the idea summarized above
-
which was packaged by the idea of empathy was confusion.
I'm not quite clear how confusion relates to the idea above. Are you focusing on the feelings of being outside the home and having to find a hidden key?
-
These specific emotions should not be overwritten with one single word, instead they should remain separate to retain their complexity.
To some extent you miss Ruberg's critique of empathy games that led her to this conclusion. Can you rework the summary to show how Ruberg is suggesting alternatives?

In David Gerrold's The Trouble with Tribbles: The Story Behind Star Trek's Most Popular Episode, he describes how he used a 12-pitch Selectric to type the 1967 episode. When the studio retyped it in pica (10-pitch) it came out to 90 pages and had to be cut down significantly to fit the show's running time.
The difference amounts to approximately 3 words per page and about 50 words per page.

how does the example follow from the last claim?

In Gone Home, the player views Sam's narrative through Katie, and does not get the first-hand experience of Sam's situation as she is an outsider to the development of Sam's disappearance.
a stronger connection to the ideas of the summary is needed. One could perhaps note that GH questions ideas of empathy in the spirit of Ruberg

The 2024 Phoenix Type-In by [[Joe Van Cleave]]
Platen shrinkage
- most typewriters are 6 lines per inch
- 6.5 lines per inch based on actual measurement per JVC on one of his machines
- 2mm shrinkage??
- Per Bob/Typewriter Muse 1.1
Bob had a machine that was supposed to be 1.27 but was measured at 1.259 when pulled off. So shrinkage of platens can be roughly fifteen hundredths of an inch (0.015" or about 0.4mm)
Bob at Typewriter Muse custom tunes platens to the typewriter. Only place doing platens outside of JJ Short.
JVC's partner took him to the Phoenix Type-in for her birthday.

Thus creating a misconception for the player.
strong point --is this kind of blending of experience what you see gone home as doing?
-
it minimizes the lives and identities of those who are seen as “different” or “other.”
I wonder if the summary gets at this important claim or idea in Ruberg's passage?

My account replicates the very order of violence that it writes against by placing yetanother demand upon the girl, by requiring that her life be made useful or instructive, byfinding in it a lesson for our future or a hope for history.
!!!
inescapability of the desire taht any kind of storytelling that will by narrative turn them into something useful/instructive
what danger/risk are there associated w turning these inventoried people from the past into characters form which we extract meaning
"even if I tell stories, is that still doing the same thing history is doing? is there a way out of that? -- trying to make meaning out of the past that respects an ethics of responsibility toward the subjects of the past"
