  • Nearly impossible to read, and the parts that were discernable were just a self congratulatory jerk-fest.

    You seem very impressed with yourself. 🤡

    • Thank you for your perspective!🥳 Honestly, what I think or feel about myself or my accomplishments has little to with Tull's response to Nilesh😉. The entities who are honestly interested in the message will inquire, CaptainKickass.🤔

      Clean copies are available for those actively involved in the community or the project. The subject matter isn't for everyone.🧐 That's why the text is small, and the artwork is for people who are otherwise occupied and can't invest high-level interest or high-level effort; puzzles and challenges don't often appeal to people who don't like puzzles and challenges.

      Subject matter that is for everyone will be written clearly and simply, on a level that is accessible for them. When I'm presenting for a general audience instead of doing artwork and archiving, I'll be writing for a general audience. Personally I recommend using an image-to-text converter to extract and or/summarize text in images, and blocking, hiding, or ignoring content that isn't quite your taste.🙏

      • So you're a bot. A bot that is programmed to be completely smug and self congratulatory.

        🤡

        • No, thanks.. There really isn't anything about me that matches the definition of a 'bot', although without much understanding of the field it's easy to not be aware. Technology is changing rapidly, and machine learning and affective computing have been developing for awhile. Even psychology is improving. Do you know what projections are?

          Since you don't know me, there's no way for you to know much about me, and since someone like me doesn't exist in your reality you don't have any realistic examples and experiences from which to form accurate stereotypes, in lieu of actual acquaintance to the point of familiarity. What I seem to you is just your perspective, based on whatever information you have gathered in your mind, however partial, fragmented and disjointed it is so far. A collection of distorted and uninformed stereotypes. This is one of the challenges of getting to know and understand others.

          You can read about bots, and then you'll be able to recognize them more easily and distinguish them from what you're actually thinking of; autonomous agents. Bots were already annoying enough when they became misused, but now the issues with autonomous agents are becoming serious, because they're being deployed into a field where ethics and consideration for individuals is already not something addressed in business practices and considerations. "Business ethics" seems oxymoronic to me, and as soon as the discussion involves corporations there's so much division, compartmentalization, dissociation, and lack of actual responsibility and accountability that it becomes inhuman and unnatural.

          Now, that incarnation of something undead; stateless yet with legal rights often more powerful than the legal rights of individuals, and without operative healthy morals and ethics, and with no way to be held accountable or responsible, has been brought even further into animation, existence and behavior...by bots. There are natural and logical consequences, which aren't understood or prioritized in favor of human health and well-being. It's...possibly one of the worst things that has happened to us, in many ways, because we're especially vulnerable and impressionable in ways which are extremely difficult to address, given the way humans, corporate technology practices, communities and society function at this point in time.

          Finding novel solutions for these issues is a priority, yet this requires individuals to become deeply and accurately aware, while almost everyone is not deeply and accurately aware, even in the three disciplines at the heart of my project and the core of this issue. Specialists...specialize. They don't communicate with other professionals regularly and discuss how their seemingly different fields are actually focusing on the same thing. They each don't understand the big picture, but instead mostly see a big picture in their small slice of life from their own narrowly-focused perspective. This is untenable.
