Malia Lazu, Black Reality 2.0: Creating and Making in the Digital Age

presented by Malia Lazu

I became tired of knock­ing on the same doors and either see­ing the same peo­ple or dif­fer­ent peo­ple. But I real­ly just felt like I was in this cycle of faux lib­er­a­tion, where I would feel a vic­to­ry, and the vic­to­ry was prob­a­bly formed around the RFP for the grant that we need­ed to get in order to do our work.

Steve Crocker’s Internet Hall of Fame 2012 Profile

presented by Steve Crocker

I’ve been involved with the Internet Society for vir­tu­al­ly its entire life. Years ago, I had the good for­tune to be involved with the ear­ly days of the ARPANET and played a small role in help­ing build some of the tech­nol­o­gy, and in build­ing some of the social struc­tures that brought every­body together.

Nancy Hafkin’s Internet Hall of Fame 2012 Profile

presented by Nancy Hafkin

I think my proud­est achieve­ments were to be able to set up and launch the first pro­gram at the United Nations to pro­mote infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy in a region. And the region was of course Africa.

Nnenna Nwakanma Keynote at Internetdagarna 2015

presented by Nnenna Nwakanma

In Europe, there are about fifty-odd coun­tries, and about 725 mil­lion peo­ple. That’s about the pop­u­la­tion of Europe at the moment. What’s the largest coun­try in Europe in terms of pop­u­la­tion? Russia is. Russia has about 144 mil­lion, 145 mil­lion. But Nigeria has more than 170 mil­lion, and there are only about 40% of Nigerians who are connected.

Certain Blacks
Future Frames from the Liberated Zone

presented by Makani Themba

I want us to play togeth­er… I’ve been think­ing a lot about the black future. One, because I want to have one. Personally, I would like a black future. Because I want a future. And then I was think­ing about just how many folks don’t actu­al­ly put black and the future together.

Opal Tometi Keynote, Marching in the Arc of Justice Conference

presented by Opal Tometi

It’s para­mount that our soci­ety rec­og­nize the role of anti-black struc­tur­al racism in the US. And that our 21st cen­tu­ry mul­tira­cial social move­ments uplift and cen­tral­ize the issues of those com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers who are impact­ed and are liv­ing at the mar­gins. We know that if we do, we’ll get clos­er to real jus­tice for all of us. Moreover, it’s been wide­ly doc­u­ment­ed that the gains made by and with the black com­mu­ni­ty have always led to bet­ter stan­dards of liv­ing for all of us.

Fascism and Faux-pen Source

presented by Zed Shaw

I’m going to teach you how to run your open source project in a fas­cist style. So friends, Ruby pro­gram­mers, lis­ten up. I dis­cov­ered a rev­o­lu­tion, a rev­o­lu­tion in mar­ket­ing open source. A rev­o­lu­tion in mar­ket­ing social media mar­ket­ing. A rev­o­lu­tion in pro­mo­tion bet­ter than guy-liner. A rev­o­lu­tion in you. It will change your life. It will change every­one’s life. The rev­o­lu­tion­ary tech­nique is fas­cist propaganda.

Lawrence Landweber’s Internet Hall of Fame 2012 Profile

presented by Lawrence Landweber

I got involved with net­work­ing some­time in the late 70s, main­ly because I was look­ing around and dis­cov­er­ing that peo­ple were get­ting into net­work­ing, email. And at the time I was depart­ment chair at University of Wisconsin, the com­put­er sci­ence depart­ment, and was try­ing to under­stand what those capa­bil­i­ties would do for our fac­ul­ty and students.

Elizabeth Feinler’s Internet Hall of Fame 2012 Profile

presented by Elizabeth Feinler

I’m Elizabeth Feinler, usu­al­ly known as ​“Jake.” That’s my nick­name. And I ran the con­tract for the Network Information Center on both the ARPANET and the Defense Data Network back in the 70s and 80s.

Paul Mockapetris’ Internet Hall of Fame 2012 Induction Speech

presented by Paul Mockapetris

One of the things I’d like to see is peo­ple have been build­ing new capa­bil­i­ties on top of the DNS for many years now. And I’m hop­ing to see in the future that we see three or four more peo­ple that have built advanced secu­ri­ty or oth­er fea­tures on top of this infrastructure.

Some Random Transcripts

What’s The Most Good You Can Do?
presented by Peter Singer

Unfortunately at the moment I think typically philanthropy is not being used very effectively, and that's partly because of the kind of non-judgmental attitude that philanthropy advisors and people generally have about philanthropy. Read more →

How Thinking about Translation Can Help You Think about Bots
presented by Esther Seyffarth

The commonly asked questions is, "Does this bot sound human?" And the question that I think is a little bit more interesting is why do so many bots that win the Loebner Prize sound pretty much exactly the same? They're really similar to each other. Maybe they all have a particular type of default human being in mind, the people who design these bots. But if so, who is this particular mysterious default human being? Read more →

The Conversation #4 — Colin Camerer
presented by Aengus Anderson, Colin Camerer, Micah Saul

We know very little about complex financial systems and how systemic risk, as it's called, is computed and how you would manage policies. And if you look back at the financial crisis, you can either say, as many economists do, "It all had to do with badly-designed rules," which may be part of the story; it's certainly part of the story. Or it may have to do with the interaction of those rules and human nature, like mortgage broker greed, optimism… And you see it not just in individuals who now have houses and foreclosure, but at the highest levels.

Mindful Cyborgs #51 — Nordic Larp, Social Change, and Free-will Agency with Eleanor Saitta
presented by Chris Dancy, Eleanor Saitta, Klint Finley, Sara M. Watson

Change is going to happen. I guess in a lot of cases I see my role in the world as trying desperately to build enough tools, and enough understanding of how they work and how they can be used, and to get that stuff out into the world enough so that when stuff inevitably breaks and falls apart and explodes in our faces, we've got kind of a first aid kit that we can reach for.

The Breakdown: Foreign inter­fer­ence and the US 2020 Election
presented by Naima Green-Riley, Oumou Ly

Not all dis- and misinformation is foreign, so that's why this is such a large problem because there are many domestic actors that engage in disinformation campaigns as well. So, the narratives that we've seen across the space come from so many different people that sometimes it can be hard to target the the problem to one particular actor or one particular motive.
