“Maybe it’s better to say that he is part of a peculiar, modern, and very popular type of news industry, one that manages to enjoy the authority and influence of journalism without the stodgy constraints of fairness, objectivity, and responsibility that make trying to tell the truth such a drag for everyone involved,” Wallace concluded. Sound familiar to anyone? The Amish understand a life-changing truth about technology the rest of us don’t. The Amish have negotiated a pact with modernity.
Whereas much of the contemporary world sees technological progress as inevitable, even a moral imperative, the Amish ideal lives in the past, circa 1850. It’s not that the Amish view technology as inherently evil. No rules prohibit them from using new inventions. But they carefully consider how each one will change their culture before embracing it. And the best clue as to what will happen comes from watching their neighbors. Un étrange pressentiment de catastrophe. The Scientific Paper Is Obsolete. Here's What's Next.

A ‘Digital Alchemist’ Unravels the Mysteries of Complexity. Sharon Glotzer has made a number of career-shifting discoveries, each one the kind “that completely changes the way you look at the world,” she said, “and causes you to say, ‘Wow, I need to follow this.’” A theoretical soft condensed matter physicist by training who now heads a thriving 33-person research group spanning three departments at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Glotzer uses computer simulations to study emergence — the phenomenon whereby simple objects give rise to surprising collective behaviors. “When flocks of starlings make these incredible patterns in the sky that look like they’re not even real, the way they’re changing constantly — people have been seeing those patterns since people were on the planet,” she said. “But only recently have scientists started to ask the question, how do they do that? Unexpected Benefits of Digital Transformation.
Digital tools can be used in many different “right” — and surprising — ways to add value to an organization. Many different fields of study — such as psychology, human-computer interaction, and ecology — have employed the concept of “affordances.” The term refers to the different possible actions that someone can take with an object in a particular environment. For example, someone can interact with a beach ball by batting it in the air, letting it float in water, sitting on it, or popping it. The importance of affordances is the shift in focus from the characteristics of the object to what one can do with an object in a particular situation.
This is the most dangerous time for our planet. As a theoretical physicist based in Cambridge, I have lived my life in an extraordinarily privileged bubble. Cambridge is an unusual town, centred around one of the world’s great universities. Within that town, the scientific community that I became part of in my 20s is even more rarefied. And within that scientific community, the small group of international theoretical physicists with whom I have spent my working life might sometimes be tempted to regard themselves as the pinnacle. In addition to this, with the celebrity that has come with my books, and the isolation imposed by my illness, I feel as though my ivory tower is getting taller.

Bernard Stiegler: «L’accélération de l’innovation court-circuite tout ce qui contribue à l’élaboration de la civilisation» «Disruptif». Le terme, dixit le dictionnaire de l’Académie française, dérive du latin disrumpere, «briser en morceaux, faire éclater». Dans le langage des entreprises du numérique, «l’innovation disruptive», c’est l’innovation de rupture, celle qui bouscule les positions établies, court-circuite les règles du jeu, impose un changement de paradigme. De Google à Uber, la «disruption» bouleverse nos vies connectées. Mais à quel prix ?

(Flickr-CC-cblue98) Récemment, des scientifiques et des dirigeants d’entreprises influents déclaraient publiquement que l'intelligence artificielle (IA) constituait l’une des pires menaces pour l’humanité. C’est en tous les cas le point de vue de l’astrophysicien Stephen Hawking, du fondateur de Microsoft, Bill Gates, ou encore d’Elon Musk, cofondateur de Tesla Motors et de SpaceX. Atteint de la maladie de Charcot (dystrophie neuromusculaire) Stephen Hawking, qui communique pourtant avec le monde extérieur grâce à un ordinateur synthétiseur de voix, actionné par le mouvement de ses yeux, explique que l’IA risque de conduire l’humanité à sa perte parce que les ordinateurs et les robots devenus plus intelligents que l’Homme finiront par le réduire à l’esclavage.
Même discours alarmiste du côté du fondateur de Microsoft, qui dénonce lui aussi le danger de domination de l’IA sur l’humanité. De nouvelles dimensions plutôt qu'une domination.
