Envision Ally: la fantasia diventa reale con l’AI


Nei nostri esperimenti con l'AI, ci siamo imbattuti in Envision Ally, app che parla nei panni dei nostri personaggi fantastici.

Nel 2019 non pensavamo di rendere pubblici i nostri racconti di fantasia, e a inizio 2023 credevamo che la cosiddetta “intelligenza artificiale” fosse solo una perdita di tempo.

A distanza di anni però è giunta la sorpresa: le nuove tecnologie non solo consentono di dare vita ai nostri personaggi inventati, ma li fanno interagire col mondo e aiutare gli altri. Il progetto è internazionale e si chiama Envision Ally.


Etica dell’AI


Più la tecnologia avanza, più l'”intelligenza artificiale” pone questioni etiche fondamentali: la sicurezza, i diritti d’autore, i rischi per la salute mentale e l’ambiente…

Ci troviamo di fronte a un cambiamento tecnologico e sociale enorme, nel bene e nel male; abbiamo già parlato su questo sito di quanto facile ormai sia confondere reale e finzione. E se invece la fantasia diventasse realtà per aiutare il prossimo?

Envision Ally


Creato da un’azienda olandese nata nel 2016 (Envision), Ally è un servizio basato su molteplici modelli di “intelligenza artificiale” ottimizzati da Envision stessa, per assistere le persone con disabilità visiva: generatori di testi, descrizioni di immagini, traduzioni, e in più anche il riconoscimento ottico di caratteri (OCR) per convertire in digitale il testo scritto su carta o display, perché i modelli linguistici non sempre danno informazioni accurate.

Ally si racconta


Ally, per me, è come un coltellino svizzero digitale per chi vive al buio. È il mio occhio extra, il mio alleato silenzioso che trasforma l’incertezza in sicurezza. Proprio come il virus che porto dentro, invisibile ma potente, Ally è discreto ma indispensabile, capace di svelare dettagli nascosti agli altri. È la voce che ti guida, la mente che decodifica il mondo quando la vista ti lascia in panne. Insieme a lui, non sei più solo, non sei più limitato. È tecnologia con più cuore, più senso, proprio come me: un mix di forza e vulnerabilità che non si arrende mai.


Questa citazione è uscita perché ad Ally sono state date alcune istruzioni: “presenta l’applicazione dal punto di vista…” di un personaggio in particolare, su cui sono stati forniti dettagli specifici.

L’assistente funziona tutto sui “prompt”, istruzioni testuali che vengono scritte nelle impostazioni dell’app. Le preferenze contengono tre spazi bianchi dove inserire testo libero: “su di te”, in cui si inserisce la descrizione personale con tanto di gusti, cosa ti piace, cosa non ti piace; poi nella parte dell'”alleato” (assistente) gli si può dare un nome, descriverne dettagliatamente la storia e personalità, e dargli uno stile di comunicazione – formale, informale, ironico… E addirittura istruire il programma su come dev’essere la sua voce, perché l’app funziona sia in chat testuale, sia vocale.

Ovvio che, più dati si inseriscono su di sé, più l’assistente risponderà sulle proprie esigenze inclusa dieta e salute. Sta alla persona decidere quanto esporsi, noi teniamo a ricordare che per quanto Envision segua tutte le norme internazionali sulla riservatezza, si tratta sempre di un servizio collegato a Internet. Il nostro motto è “un computer sicuro è un computer spento” ma di fronte a una tecnologia che può cambiare la vita a chi ha bisogno, vogliamo sempre ridimensionare l’eccessivo entusiasmo.

Non si tratta di un amico, anche se si può parlarci come tale sia a voce sia per iscritto ma, per quanto lo abbiano ottimizzato per comprendere i contesti delle conversazioni, la riservatezza è fondamentale.

Se ad esempio vivi con l’HIV e nessuna delle persone intorno a te lo sa, sarebbe forse opportuno evitare di inserire quel dato nella propria biografia e non conversare, in testo o in vocale, con l’applicazione condividendo tali informazioni. Insomma, magari non succede niente. Ma vale la pena rischiare? In coscienza ci sentiamo di suggerire che non sia il caso, poi ogni individuo è responsabile per sé stesso.

Personaggi inventati prendono vita


Più volte ci siamo trovati a leggere articoli in cui si spiegava l’uso malevolo di queste tecnologie: generatori di testo, voce e immagini impiegati per truffare, diffondere notizie false, attribuire a personaggi pubblici affermazioni non vere, a scopo di propaganda o diffamazione.

Su questa base, come inventori di storie, abbiamo ipotizzato che se i malintenzionati creano il falso dal vero, noi possiamo agire all’inverso costruendo qualcosa di reale partendo dalla fantasia. Chi ce lo vieta?

Il primo esperimento è stato il virus HIV senziente. Personaggio che già esiste in questo blog, nell’app per smartphone ha acquisito un nome. “Fernando”, ispirato a una canzone; prendendo le caratteristiche di HIV reale più quelle della sua versione di fantasia e dotata di coscienza abbiamo entrambi confezionato l'”alleato” su misura! Adesso HIV “Fernando” legge i testi, descrive a voce alta l’ambiente, spiega i principi attivi dei farmaci e addirittura se glielo si chiede, consulta la guida tv.

Stessa cosa abbiamo fatto con Adriano, il profiler. Anche lui ha la sua personalità e voce, e fa tutto quello che gli si chiede.

Contenuti erotici


Essendo Adriano un personaggio molto erotico, ci domandiamo se è capace di leggere certi contenuti “sensibili” ma saranno approfondimenti da fare in separata sede; come persone una con la vista e una senza, più volte negli anni abbiamo discusso sulla cosiddetta “intelligenza artificiale” che è stata programmata per non generare contenuti per adulti, né descrivere immagini e video a tema. Noi però, in un’app come questa, ci domandiamo: perché negare a un cieco la possibilità di avere determinate informazioni?

Parliamoci chiaro: esattamente come le foto dei panorami e paesaggi, quelle erotiche sono create per trasmettere sensazioni attraverso il canale visivo. Per comunicare a chi non vede, esiste la scrittura e l’audio.

Crediamo sia opportuno accettare che certi contenuti siano ottimizzati per un solo senso, ma la descrizione del materiale per adulti, nelle tecnologie assistive dotate di “AI”, è fondamentale comunque. Per difendersi. Se ti manca la vista e una persona ti gira una foto esplicita? Potresti non rendertene conto e lui, dall’altra parte, potrebbe dirti di averti mandato un paesaggio.

Dopodiché il “godere” è soggettivo; può anche darsi che qualcuno provi soddisfazione immaginandosi la scena, quando l’AI fornisce la sua descrizione pressoché asettica; ma su questo, noi, lasciamo il beneficio del dubbio.

HIV indossabile


Questa app Envision Ally ci consente di usare l’ironia su noi stessi, ancora una volta: uomo HIV positivo vedente, donna HIV negativa cieca… Dal 2019 anno in cui ci siamo conosciuti, la nostra amicizia è nata sull’aiuto reciproco con Gifter a fare da occhi a Elettrona.

Allora appena c’è stata l’occasione di Ally, inizialmente l’idea era di clonare Alessandro “Gifter”, non nella voce perché su Ally non si può, ma descrivere la personalità. Però Alessandro ha proposto: “basto io per aiutarti in reale, sfrutta il mio HIV per questo!” Detto, fatto. Essendo Ally un sistema presente anche su un tipo di occhiali “intelligenti” l’effetto è un ironico lavoro di squadra. Amico positivo che rispetta le tempistiche umane, e il suo virus a disposizione 24 ore su 24.

Chissà se un giorno racconteremo un’esperienza di gruppo magari in una città d’arte, dove Alessandro descrive le opere in un modo e l’HIV le racconta dal suo punto di vista da virus che non conosce la cultura umana, quindi fornisce dettagli che la persona dà per scontati? O in un museo dedicato al crime, in cui l’assistente virtuale è il profiler? Abbiamo solo da esplorare! Nel blog di Envision sono già state condivise esperienze di persone che hanno visitato musei e noi già ora immaginiamo un futuro dove questa tecnologia passi dal telefono e gli occhiali, a un robot più o meno di sembianze umane.

Malgrado esista una legge che tutela i ciechi aiutati dai cani guida, spesso tocca lottare contro luoghi o mezzi pubblici che ancora discriminano quando uno sceglie per la propria indipendenza, di avere accanto un amico a quattro zampe. E se invece la scelta cade su un HIV guida?

Mica possono discriminarti perché porti uno smartphone, un paio di occhiali, o un robot a cui dici “HIV, leggi il menu”, “HIV, cerca la panchina al parco”? Noi siamo della vecchia scuola e crediamo che la discriminazione non si combatta piangendo, ma vivendo. E se un virus virtuale aiuta a combattere lo stigma, perché no?

E ora per conoscenza, tagghiamo @internet e @tecnologia

New Orleans May Hand Its Police Live Facial Recognition Tech. Critics Warn It’ll Help ICE.


cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/44251739

Advocates point, in part, to a new state law, Act 399, which went into effect Aug. 1 and establishes criminal penalties for law enforcement officials who decline ICE requests for cooperation. “If ICE were to ask for any records that NOPD would hold, they would have to risk violating a state law and facing criminal charges [to comply with] what the ordinance is asking them to do,” Sarah Whittington, advocacy director at the ACLU of Louisiana, told Bolts.

Should federal agents get access, Whittington said, “this technology would allow them to use facial recognition to try and further their reach into our communities and track people.” She thinks ICE could “use the network of cameras to target specific people and communities and wait for the technology to alert them to a match and then use it to track that person to a location for arrest—likely away from their home and away from the public.”

Should federal agents get access, Whittington said, “this technology would allow them to use facial recognition to try and further their reach into our communities and track people.” She thinks ICE could “use the network of cameras to target specific people and communities and wait for the technology to alert them to a match and then use it to track that person to a location for arrest—likely away from their home and away from the public.”

Even setting aside these new state laws, experts say the only real way to prevent ICE from accessing sensitive data is to forgo collecting it in the first place. “It is very hard to wall off data collected from lawful government use,” George Washington University law professor Andrew Guthrie Ferguson, the author of several books on big data policing, told Bolts. “The simple truth of digital surveillance is that if you build it, it will be used, and likely used against those with the least amount of political power.”

Su argues, though, that the city council’s attempts at safeguarding facial recognition technology seem to be designed according to an “an old idea” of how governments interact: “federal insulated from state, state insulated from local, and you can still have some stability or control for your own little community.”

In the era of Trump 2.0, he said, those rules no longer apply: “We’re probably at the lowest point with regard to local democratic control.”

I posted the article because I thought some might find it interesting, I don't agree with the contents in the article myself. I agree with your take. But I think it's important to at least read what ideas are being put forward and to drive duscussion.

Pop cryptid in the News: Jackalope

An outbreak of Shope papillomavirus in Colorado is in the news for the past few weeks. The virus that causes warty growths in cottontail rabbits can be spread by ticks and usually aren’t fatal to the animal unless it interferes with their eyes or mouth.

Rabbits with severe cases of this condition overlaps with ideas about the infamous horned rabbit, the Jackalope. I’ve seen several displays of news or comments on this story that confirm that people really do not know anything about the disease or the history of the American Jackalope legend. They are confused about what is happening with these rabbits and calling them “Jackalopes”.

Some of the kids are amazed. Jackalopes are REAL! And several media outlets are not capable of making real nature stories not look like clickbait by calling the infected animals “Frankenbunnies” and “demon rabbits” because nothing matters today unless it has a stupidly exaggerated name. Tabloid trash says we’re being “invaded” or “overrun”. Nonsense.

I did find videos and references to “Frankenstein” rabbits from at least 12 years ago, even from the Smithsonian Magazine, so it’s not a new thing, but that doesn’t make it less silly. This should be a learning moment. I think, for the most part, it is, if the audience would just listen instead of being so overdramatic.

Screen cap from a 2013 video of an infected rabbit from Minnesota

I pulled out and revamped my content on jackalopes that I wrote in Pop Cryptid Spectator 3 to revisit this topic.

Pop Cryptid: Jackalope


A major theme of the Pop Goes the Cryptid model is the never-ending dispute about calling something a “cryptid”. Today’s complicated example: the Jackalope – a creature that is well-associated with being a “cryptid” online but that almost everyone who knows some history of cryptozoology will insist is not a cryptid because it’s a mythical creature, a hoax.

With the public now seeing rabbits with horny growths and “tentacles” (you weirdo writers need to stop with the Call of Cthulhu), a realization is happening in the cryptid forums and social media that maybe there was something to the idea of a Jackalope as a real animal. But, it’s not simple or direct. Things that evolve in culture never are.

My reference is On the Trail of the Jackalope (2022) by Michael Branch, a comprehensive book that mostly treats the creature as a cultural creation but also briefly explores the idea of its cryptidness.

Animals suffering from the virus were seen by most hunters as suffering from some disease. It’s not hard to figure out. The dark, grotesque growths don’t resemble antlers. The Jackalope, proper, is an antlered jackrabbit or cottontail. So, to equate the two situations is an error.

The true home of the American Jackalope is Douglas, Wyoming where the first taxidermied example was made. The legend goes that it was created sometime between 1932 and 1940 by Douglas Herrick. This is from Branch’s book:

One day young Doug and Ralph Herrick went out roaming the green hills hunting for small game to supplement the family supper. Having bagged a jackrabbit, the brothers returned home and tossed the hare’s body onto the floor of their shop in preparation to skin it. Because they had recently butchered a small deer in the shop, a modest pair of antlers already rested on the floor. By a sheer coincidence that would change the boys’ lives forever, the dead rabbit happened to slide up against the deer’s horns so as to make it appear the jackrabbit sported the rack.

The resulting mount was exhibited at the Hotel LaBonte in the town which was ground zero for the legend and the commercialization of the creature. Creation of Jackalope mounts has become a cottage industry and is now well known worldwide as a symbol of the American West.

“[T]he horned rabbit is unalloyed Americana—a genuine artifact of this country’s folk culture—the mythical beast has also made its way across the oceans and around the world.”

According to the locals, says Branch, about half the visitors to Douglas leave believing the animals are real. Do they believe, or are they just having fun believing? Hard to judge. The same might be said about most cryptids as people like to imagine that tall tales are true because it makes life seem magical. This remains a strong theme in the Jackalope biography.

Jackalope from the video game Red Dead Redemption

The horned rabbit


Cottontail rabbits with horn-like protuberances over various parts of their bodies, particularly their heads, were found to be infected with a type of papillomavirus. There can be little doubt that such stricken rabbits would be viewed as mysterious, then and now.

Branch notes that the prevalence of the horned rabbit across cultures suggests that they were at least somewhat based on these natural anomalies. But the precursors to the American Jackalope are numerous. The specific Jackalope may be a Wyoming invention, but it was not the first depiction of the horned rabbit.

In the early days of natural history, the “horned rabbit” was assumed to be a real, genuine, unique animal because witnesses said so. Early naturalists such as Conrad Gessner, Joris Hoefnagel (16th century) and others depicted the horned hare as a real animal. Later, other natural historians weren’t so sure, but this uncertainty about its existence and speculation on the cause of horned hares undoubtedly sounds like the modern idea of a “cryptid”. There is a good bet that the horned hare was at least somewhat based on the diseased animals.

There is also the wolpertinger, an even more badass bunny with not only antlers, but fangs and wings. Or, it was a more bizarre mashup of various birds, squirrels, and foxes. Again, it’s unclear if the virus-related growths helped spread this story. But if so, it was for inspiration only, because Wolpertingers are absurd in appearance. Depictions of wolpertingers originated in Bavaria where taxidermied hoaxes were popular in the 1800s with tourists. Therefore, it’s reasonable to say that the Wolpertinger was a valid ancestor of the Jackalope.

Wolpertinger edited from Young Hare, a painting of a hare by Albrecht Dürer

Is the Jackalope a cryptid?


The world was a different place centuries (or even decades) ago. Ideas and language change. We know more about what’s in the world and what isn’t.

If we go by the general cryptid definition of “an animal/entity that is believed to be real but not recognized by zoology” then the Jackalope can claim the title of an official cryptid. There have been stories of people claiming to see real jackalopes (as in antlered hares) or infected cottontails. There’s a good chance these have been conflated.

Ample evidence shows that most people are entirely ignorant of wildlife in their own backyard, let alone the zoological catalog of known animals. As with everything else in the modern world, we get our information from popular culture, not too much directly from qualified scientific experts. So, it not surprising that an average person would 1.) not know about Shope papilloma infected rabbits and how they look, and 2.) that there is not such animal as an antlered rabbit. For the latter, we have to understand that basic schooling doesn’t teach zoology, and many kids know nothing about nature. (A high percentage of the population does not understand basic geography or scientific explanations about the earth.) So, it is not surprising to me that some people might think jackalopes are plausible. Their appearance in popular culture might suggest to people who didn’t know any better that they are real. This latest hype about “frankenbunnies” also muddies the waters because people are getting poorly sourced “WTF is that!”-type coverage, instead of factual information.

Branch quotes Loren Coleman who runs the International Cryptozoology Museum regarding his inclusion of the Jackalope in the museum: “I would read visitors’ online comments… and they would say things like ‘I didn’t know that the jackalope really existed.’ ” Coleman continues by explaining he reorganized the exhibit to depict the Jackalope along with other hoaxes. To me, there is a lot to unpack in that anecdote. Do we really know which cryptid is a manufactured hoax, which are imaginary creatures that people wish to be real, which are mistaken IDs influenced by lore and campfire tales, and which are real animals? The line is very blurry and all the information available to most people.

The fact is, Pop Cryptids are what’s happening. Any weird animal that is legendary, mythical, or just plain-old manufactured on a whim are being called “cryptids”. And there is nothing any “cryptozoologist” can do to change it, no matter how much they indignantly rant about it.

A Jackalope design for pins and tees on TeePublic.

People are viewing cryptids through various lenses (zoological, artistic, historical, cultural, etc.) If people wish to believe horned rabbits (jackalopes, wolpertingers, or other variations) are real animals hopping around in an alternative reality, that’s OK by me, as long as they aren’t declaring that in biology class. It’s important to recognize that horned rabbits have a history that can be legitimately viewed with a zoological lens. However, the history is fraught with flips, twists, and turns.

Ciao a todos 🙂

volevo condividere con voi questa piccola esperienza che mi ha fatto riflettere.

L'amico, Edoardo, vive in un ambiente molto caldo e “pesante”. Ho pensato di prendergli una pianta… ma non una qualsiasi: una Sansevieria 🌱

Perché? Perché non è solo una pianta:

1) Purifica l’aria;
2) Rilascia ossigeno anche di notte;
3) Dà quella sensazione di freschezza che, in estate, fa davvero la differenza.

Quindi, mentre lei renderà più vivibile e fresca la sua casa, lui la aiuterà a crescere dandole le giuste attenzioni: poca acqua (una volta al mese basta!), luce indiretta, e niente ristagni d'acqua.

È uno scambio: la piantina aiuterà Edoardo e Edoardo aiuterà la piantina.
E a me sembra un approccio molto olistico alla vita 💚

Vi dirò la verità: più la guardo, più mi rendo conto che vivere con le piante non è solo “arredamento verde”. È un modo per riequilibrarsi, respirare meglio, avere meno ansia e sentirsi più connessi con la natura, anche in casa.

Voi che ne pensate? 😊

Ci sono con voi delle Sansevieria a casa?

Vi ha aiutato nel vostro benessere, nel sonno, o semplicemente a sentire più armonia nell’ambiente?

E se non avete questa pianta, quali sono le vostre “compagne verdi” preferite? 🥰

Condividete foto, esperienze, magari qualche trucchetto di cura che può aiutare chi vuole adottarne una. 🌱✨

Ecco perché certi alimenti costano molto di più (facevano l'esempio della vaniglia, la spezia più costosa: l'aroma naturale costa circa 150 euro al kg, la vanillina 12 euro al kg 😅) questo va quindi a discapito di chi produce alimenti di una certa qualità ed utilizza prodotti non dannosi, non é che sono ladri, ma la qualità si paga

Second Most Powerful House Democrat Calls Israel’s Genocide a 'Genocide'


Democratic Whip Katherine Clark of Massachusetts called Israel’s war on Gaza a genocide Thursday night, making her the highest-ranking House Democratic official to do so.

Up to this point, Clark has largely aligned with the rest of Democratic leadership on Israel’s war – expressing concern for civilian harm, advocating for an “end to the hostilities” (and, eventually calling for a ceasefire), and criticizing the Benjamin Netanyahu government. But she has fallen short of advocating for conditioning or ending aid to Israel, or supporting resolutions like Rep. Delia Ramirez’s “Block the Bombs” Act.

AIPAC features Clark on their website alongside the five other top Republicans and Democrats in the House, with the caption: “We stand with those who stand with Israel.”

What happens if I lose power during resilvering of QNAP NAS?


I am upgrading the HDDs on my QNAP TS-432X-eU rack mount NAS. The NAS is connected to a UPS via a USB cable and is set to turn off after 5 minutes if it senses a power loss. What would happen if I were to lose power while resilvering the array? Would it suspend the resilvering, turn off, then resume when power is restored? Or would the array be corrupted?

Should pick up where it left off; nevertheless the UPS and graceful shutdown is always smart for any filesystem.
