People designing AI systems are excluding those who will be affected by them from the decision-making process. This exclusion is disguised by a debate between safety and acceleration camps, both of which treat humans as objects to be designed for rather than as equal participants in the design process.
A provincial audit in Ontario found AI systems for healthcare providers inaccurately recorded patient information and fabricated content. The systems' evaluation process was criticized for prioritizing factors like domestic presence over accuracy and bias controls.

I recently bought myself an STM32 Nucleo microcontroller board to play around with. What fascinated me was how much more flexible things are at this level, how much more you can do yourself. With an ESP32 that’s not really the case, you’re always tied to ESP-IDF or some other framework. I started with a first simple example, the kind everyone knows and has done before: the famous Hello World. ...
