Look to Computers for the Next Dr. Seuss: The World of Language Generators and GPT-3 Technology
When talking about A.I., Google’s Cassie Kozyrkov asks you to imagine an island of drunk workers, an island that does the mindless, repetitive work that humans don’t want to do. We’re used to thinking about computers this way—but when they become better writers than us, things grow complicated. Natural Language Generation (NLG), the subset of A.I. that powers computer-written language, essentially works by predicting a response to given data. If you feed it an incomplete sentence, it calculates the probability that a next set of words will follow. In our daily lives, this is built into...

Changing the script: The gender problem in the tech industry
While the 20th and 21st century have seen massive improvement for gender equality, with previously unheard voices, perspectives and stories hitting the media. The #MeToo movement brought hidden issues to the surface and created the space to look at the reality of being a woman in the West despite the progress we’ve made. The UK’s mandatory gender pay disclosure brought to light how senior positions are still dominated by men. Every year it seems we learn more about inequality, but lack the ability to make real change happen quickly. This is understandable as change always takes time, but our...
Creating our future
If, like me, you want to honor that long-standing promise to the next generation that they will inherit a better world than we did, then this essay might give you a little bit of hope. Because change is not only possible - it has started. Admittedly the context of change and modification of our world is not easy peasy neither rosy. Tax-dodging corporations, attacks on refugees, populism, intolerance, extremism, billions of people in poverty or 'just about managing', droughts, wildfires, floods, etc. are all causing so much of trouble to millions of people all around this tiny world. The...
From rolling blackouts to electric trains: Tanzania economic miracle
2006 to 2013 marked the long and darkest period in the energy history of Tanzania. The longest drought period of 2005-2006 contributed to hydroelectric power plants inefficiencies leading to rolling blackouts. Efforts were made to rescue the problem, accompanied with the resignation of ministers, including the prime minister. By December 2009, rolling blackouts had triggered people to switch to the use of generators, leading to an increase in the cost of petroleum which increased the cost of import bills, goods and services and, eventually, the inflation rate to 12.1 percent. Citizens’...

Looking at the vast and fast pace of change we had overtime, it seems that most of us have been so engrossed with the current trends, whether it be in gadgets or in any other form of technological advancement. It is not wrong that we are up to date, the point is, we sometimes are so in love enjoying them that we forget to at least look back and still be familiar with what we used before. One of these traditional things is the use...
Children as a reflection of the media
My personal experience with a virtual world
It was an early morning in 2012. I was in the 8th grade then. My classmates told me stories about how they met new friends and how they even chatted with celebrities and got to experience many amazing things. I was intrigued. I wanted to experience these exciting things they always talked about. Every child wants to partake in the childhood fantasy. So I went on to create a Facebook account; this was the beginning of my journey through the virtual world. As time went by, I became accustomed to checking my social media more frequently. I immersed myself in the social media culture by chatting...
