Topic Tags | autocorrect
Summary | The band members of DNCE joke about how their band name is not autocorrect friendly. None of their band name ideas were and many other musicians also do not use autocorrect friendly names. Essentially, autocorrect cannot keep up with contemporary communication because people are just more creative with language than any software could keep up with.

Summary | The discourse around artificial intelligence is usually centered around how it will make tons of jobs obsolete. What few people think about however, is the tremendous potential artificial intelligence has to improve the life of visually impaired or blind people. The same technology that is being developed to operate self-driving cars can be used to help visually impaired people read or recognize people on the street by face recognition cameras.

Summary | Facebook have begun implementing new ways to combat the sharing of revenge porn on their platform. These changes stem from roundtable discussions with women's safety organizations. Revenge porn, the sharing of intimate photographs without permission after a breakup (or similar), is becoming increasingly frequent. Facebook can now take down such images very quickly once they're reported and keep users from sharing such images again.

Topic Tags | (mental) health, addiction, research/study, threat
Summary | American researchers have conducted studies confirming that "device dependability" is a real psychiatric illness that leads people to perceive phantom buzzes from their smartphones, i.e. to hear a notification when there is none. Most individuals affected show neurotic personality traits and/or feel anxious when separated from their smartphone. The condition is supposed to be included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders by the American Psychological Association and the researchers hope that this will raise awareness of the dangers of smartphone dependability or addiction.
