Bruno Latour's Twitter bot called @LatourBot - https://twitter.com/LatourBot - seems to be a beginning anthropological robot (or even cognitive assistant) parsing possibly sentences from his books and writings in new ways, possibly including machine translation from the French into English, and creating not perfect translation which are also very funny in their new connotations. Or maybe not ... since in this video, Bruno Latour himself talks in one sentence a little like this @LatourBot interestingly.

But here's information about LatourBot -
"This Twitter bot provides random sentences from Bruno Latour’s published writings (translated into English). Its operations don’t seem to be entirely automatic or completely random because it doesn’t post on an exact mechanical schedule, it makes a different number of postings each day, it occasionally skips a day or two, and it doesn’t seem to repeat sentences. This suggests that there may be more than one actor in the (social) network, consisting of a text-mining program and a human being running it, selecting interesting results and posting them on Twitter. It is only fitting that this kind of cyborg bot tribute be offered to Latour, whose principle of “generalized symmetry” led him to study “the productions of humans and nonhumans simultaneously” (We Have Never Been Modern 103)." https://elmcip.net/creative-work/bruno-latourbot

(Bruno Latour is a Professor of Anthropology at Sciences Po in Paris, France (2006),[3] where he is the scientific director of the Sciences Po Medialab. He is also a Centennial Professor at the London School of Economics.[4] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Latour - http://www.bruno-latour.fr and http://www.indiana.edu/~wanthro/theory_pages/Latour.htm).

I'm reminded by the @LatourBot on Twitter of both questions I've blogged about here re conceiving of Richard Rorty and avatar agency - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2008/09/web-avatar-agency-talking-richard-rorty.html - as well as how I hope WUaS will be able to create a universal translator that can improve upon such translation in many ways (while recognizing how interesting such translated items are).

And beginning at about 4:04 here again is an earlier blog post of mine that suggests an approach to agency, avatar agency and Artificial Intelligence vis-a-vis language within 3D virtual worlds.

Species: If one could get the musical scores and the films, for example, right for loving bliss neurophysiology eliciting re MDMA (and in all 7,097 + languages and their musics), one could create more than a lot of happiness in the world, but this wouldn't necessarily facilitate teaching and learning about how to find one's own on-off switch for this brain chemistry, agency or intentional causation ...

How to code for EXPERIMENTALISM (or experimentation), way beyond modeling, in a realistic AI virtual earth/cosmos?


*
Steps would include ...

- create film-realistic virtual earth (virtual Harbin too) at the Street View, cellular and atomic levels+ (like Google Street View with OpenSim) with AI and machine learning for ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy (and in all 8 k languages)

- begin engineering the digital building blocks of this at the cellular and atomic levels+ toward life like characteristics computationally

- combine with computational modeling, going the other way from life to computing, based on much recent research and experimentation

- with simplest organisms first, begin to create AI life forms in film-realistic virtual earth

*
(... going well beyond Steve Grand's "Life and how to make it," Harvard 2000)

*
Stay film-realistic virtual earth-centric at these various levels ...

*
Personally,

Loving the thinking here ...

... would like to be able to easily apply it to my own further learning of piano, and Scottish Small Pipes ...

and to teach my kids with some of Xiao Xiao's technologies ... and especially as if they were inspired by a very amazing human teacher they connected with ...

*
Not sure though it will open the way for me to play Bach, Scottish, and the Blues amazingly, improvisation-ally, and the way I might invent ... will have to explore

*
As great as this is, I'm not sure it provides the avenues "in" (or "interventions") to change my own approaches to learning music ... and I hope to converse further with Xiao Xiao about this ...


*
Will some of her programs work for me? How will one measure and assess how it works for others? How easy will it be for me and for others to adapt this in ways that will help our kids, and schools of kids?

*
Would like to focus on Tricia Woods' 3 volumes of Blues piano books, Scottish Country Dance music, as well as Bach Inventions ...

*
And how to engage this in new ways for singing? I'd like to sing walking base lines, harmony in Steeleye Span, and some Gospel (Fairfield Four, Georgia Peach ...)


***
Academically, Media Lab-wise,

What about hippie learning approaches vis-a-vis some of Xiao Xiao's versatile conceiving in this video?

*
And what about identity approaches (beyond "thinking identities" such as highest achieving students), so, ethnic/linguistic identity thinking? ...

WUaS may well be able to research and study this, and comparatively, in all languages ...

*
Conceptually ... more about this perhaps later ... Xiao Xiao opens up so many avenues emerging conceptually and innovatively out of Media Lab thinking ... great and fascinating (appreciating her moving tribute to Marvin Minsky here too) ...

*
Love her far-reaching technological innovations in video - mind-expanding in combination with her thinking!

*
What about eliciting loving bliss using some of these new approaches to music-making?

Carrot: Compare the STEM cultures of MIT with Stanford ethnographically over decades, in addition to my Harbin research, in terms of their wonders, innovations, problem solvings, (even Castells' informed) knowledge generation, creations, and since the 50s, 60s and 70s (since digital technologies and the 60s are a fascinating time informing these two cultures), To think through how and understand both of these STEM innovation cultures - ways of thinking, both of which go back more than 100 years - could lead to further innovative STEM thinking and academic creativity (and in multiple/ALL languages re WUaS), CC WUaS's motto is currently "like Wikipedia with best STEM CC OpenCourseWare"


Hi M,

How are you?

I'm curious, in addition to my Harbin research, to ethnographically compare the STEM cultures of MIT with Stanford over decades ... in terms of their wonders, innovations, problem solvings, even Castells' informed (since I'm a bit of a Castellian) creations, or better knowledge generation, and since the 50s, 60s and 70s (since digital technologies and the 60s are a fascinating time informing these two cultures). For example MIT now offers 46 majors, where each has a community, an intellectual and human discourse, a history, and sub cultures within, and they each represent a lot of knowledge generation, basic plodding and sophisticated science, and intellectual creativity, and which inform MIT as a whole. In addition to the wonders of these a) cultures, b) imaginaries, c) Castellian  captivating and riveting approaches to characterizing the information age and network society in talks he's given, it's the wholeness, if you will, of MIT's and Stanford's cultures, discourses, milieus, and re MIT compared with Stanford that would be interesting to think about.

As one very small example, digital spreadsheets started in the 60s / 70s (with some roots in MIT/Harvard with Bricklin) and, recently, in 2016 the idea is being adapted successfully to relational databases - https://news.mit.edu/2016/spreadsheet-databases-0708. That's a specific example out of MIT, a tiny drop in the bucket of MIT's STEM innovation ethos, (which also become widely used as a computer application, e.g. in VisiCalc) but different from Stanford's culture. And while Stanford had land to rent to early startups, GoogleDocs (which has a spreadsheet) may be an expression of Stanford, that's somehow comparable, with the loose MIT example above.

These cultures of STEM innovation are so, so rich and varied as well. And ways in which these two university cultures cooperated generatively for STEM innovation would also be a focus, including the ways in which students matriculated at the other university for subsequent degrees.

It would be great too to think through how - ways of thinking (and in terms of understanding of both of these STEM innovation cultures), both of which go back more than 100 years - could lead to further STEM thinking and academic creativity (and in multiple languages re World University and School).

I'd be interested in characterizing, and thinking through, these universities' initial STEM ethoses, how they attracted the best and brightest minds/highest achievers from around the world, and how these cultures have changed as both Stanford and MIT have grown through the decades.

Stanford's motto was "Die Luft der Freiheit weht" - or German for "The wind of freedom blows" with an emphasis I've read (in the Stanford Green library about 4 weeks ago) on freedom, in contrast to at least one east coast school's motto which including the word "veritas" (Latin for truth) with its more disciplinary connotations (in my interpretation here). Stanford didn't have a specific STEM, knowledge or science focus initially, I just read here per se - http://facts.stanford.edu/about/. MIT"s motto was "Mens et Manus," Latin for "mind and hand, " (https://libraries.mit.edu/mithistory/institute/seal-of-the-massachusetts-institute-of-technology/ and http://www.mensetmanus.net/mit-motto/motto.shtml). Both interestingly emphasized from the beginning a practical education. Both seals are in their above links, with their further symbols and words, and which further inform an understanding of their cultures from their beginnings (in this limited interpretation).

As another angle, I'd like to explore, for example Indians, from India, coming to study at MIT and Stanford in the late 1800/ early 1900s, as a further example of this question of culture and the STEM ethos/culture of both.

...

How to generate loving and caring in a virtual earth which could also become a creatable STEM field site in all 8k language, and re financial questions too (which has created a lot of alientation in modernity in the west, in my interpretation, as well as comfort and prosperity).

On with re-indexing of my Harbin book ... I'd also like to plan for 6 months of field work per year at Harbin for some years ahead ...

How to generate loving and caring in the world as well (and perhaps emerging from a developing virtual earth - coding for caring in something like a WIKI Google Street View with OpenSim with time slider in all 8k languages, and addressing questions of economics as well) ... (and given the challenges that emerge around money that could negate this since the industrial revolutions especially) ...

Participation observation and interviews would be a fascinating and important contribution to the literature, since many MIT and Stanford innovators from the 1960s/70s are still teaching and inventing and might enjoy talking about their work and these universities' ethoses over the decades.

L,
Scott

Lophornis coquette hummingbirds: A fantastic virtual world WITHIN a film-realistic interactive virtual earth?, And for kids' play and STEM research in all 8k languages ... and like Google Street View with OpenSim conceptually 5 years' ahead, but also such that it might expand around you in a 15' cubed "classroom" and with enough unfolding AI realism to model the brain at the cellular and atomic (nano) levels, And see how Pokemon Go can create a huge number of people photographing and videoing the world (and Pokemon in their cameras) while mapping this to Google Maps, among much else, So people could create Gaming and virtual Opera for example, while visiting virtual Harbin in Google Street View, Great Harbin News ~ My Harbin book's cover photo at bottom!!! https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/may/30/harbin-hot-springs-resort-california-mountains ~ http://harbin.org/community/the-post ~ http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html …


... a fantastic virtual world WITHIN a film-realistic virtual earth?

Inside a film-realistic, 3D, interactive, wiki, group-buildable virtual earth, with fantastic and "real" avatars, how best to code for fantastic virtual worlds?


See -

Play (activity): How best to grow funnest play in a virtual earth/spaces, This would include coding a film-realistic virtual earth for kids of all ages playing (and in all 7,097 living languages) ..., "The Evolution From Khan Academy To A School With Real Classrooms," NPR Education Team - "The fear among some parents is that, once children start playing to win, losing ...", " play", hippie-communes, ... and for a virtual Harbin, and for very FUN actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' comparative anthropological and ethnographic STEM research

John Macleod won the Nobel Prize in Physiology / Medicine in 1923 for discovering insulin, I just learned ... (we share the same last name, and he was from Scotland, although lived in Canada).

Mirror lake: How to begin World University and School in Wikidata, a fairly well developed database written over 3.5 years for CC Wikipedia's ~358 languages, CC WUaS seeks to build 3 main pilot universities in English, Chinese and Spanish around this main SUBJECT TEMPLATE, Wikidata QItem for MIT OpenCourseWare - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1637597 (with further related information here ...)


Hi Tim, (Jim and Di), 

Thanks for your great CSIG presentation today, Tim. I'm trying to glean from your knowledgeable presentation - 
http://www.slideshare.net/diannepatricia/tom-finin-from-strings-to-things-populating-knowledge-bases-from-text - how to begin World University and School in Wikidata, a fairly well developed database written over 3.5 years for CC Wikipedia's ~358 languages. Are you on this Wikidata main email list https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata ?

CC WUaS seeks to build 3 main pilot universities in English, Chinese and Spanish around this main SUBJECT TEMPLATE -  http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE- (with further related links here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/07/african-scops-owl-need-to-get-wuas.html) and at the same time develop a CC MIT OpenCourseWare-centric course catalog in CC Wikidata (eventually further sharing and adapting MIT OCW in 7 languages - http://ocw.mit.edu/ &http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ - including especially its Mandarin and Spanish courses to begin) for students and parents around the world, first in English, so that they could look at this beginning this September 1 as part of applying to WUaS this autumn, and matriculating online in autumn 2017 (with courses in Google group video Hangouts with graduate student instructors for planning purposes, as WUaS accredits with WASC senior). At the same time, and also in Wikidata, WUaS seeks to develop a WUaS Student Application process (as if applying to MIT or Stanford) probably connecting this GDocs' WUaS sign-up sheet here - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - with Wikidata (with more links and context here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/07/dusky-grouse-in-what-ways-could-we-get.html). 

Although I've been on the Wikidata email list for awhile where many concepts similar to what you shared in your presentation are explored, I don't have a sense of how to begin developing WUaS in Wikidata. CC WUaS is developing in CC Wikidata with CC MIT OCW (and CC Yale OYC) all under the Creative Commons' licensing process, and, furthermore, per an extended conversation about this with MIT Dean Cecilia d'Oliveira this spring. 

In that both you and Jim are MIT alumni, and you both have degrees in Computer Science / Artificial Intelligence, I'm writing to inquiry what would be the very first steps for WUaS to develop in Wikidata? Emerging from Wikidata, WUaS's new front page for our wiki will probably be in MediaWiki and look something like this - https://web.archive.org/web/20160108000038/http://worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_En_Wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page - leaving behind the current Wikia wiki - e.g.http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Courses or http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects or see this A.I. wiki subject page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence - with its MIT OCW for where WUaS is heading subject by subject. (WUaS's approximately ten main areas of focus are here - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - including plans for wiki schools in all 7,943+ languages, based on the SUBJECT TEMPLATE above, as well as library resources and museums in all languages). One very first step in WUaS's developing in Wikidata would include coding for drag n' drop citations per recent Wikidata email list communications from Magnus Manske. 

Where would you suggest please beginning this whole process of developing CC WUaS in CC Wikidata - first in English and also in Chinese and Spanish? Here's the Wikidata QItem for MIT OpenCourseWare - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1637597 (with further related information here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/09/sea-foam-wikidatas-3rd-birthday-making.html - and to some extent here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/10/asian-black-bear-world-university-and.html). Could you possibly please help begin these first steps of developing WUaS in Wikidata as well?

I've applied for a MIT Media Lab junior faculty position and hope to focus students on many aspects of developing WUaS in a myriad of ways, after beginning WUaS in Wikidata and related developments. Thank you. 

Thank you for your great talk today, Scott
