_halo12.htmlVulcan Project aims to build 'Digital
Aristotle'..... By Luke Timmerman. The Seattle Times. "[Paul] Allen's
private investment company, Vulcan, is announcing today that it is
willing to bankroll three competing research teams from around the
world for what it calls 'Project Halo,' a quest over the next 30
months to create a computerized tutor that's smart enough to pass
college-level Advanced Placement (AP) tests in chemistry, biology and
physics. Vulcan is trying to avoid being linked with forays into
artificial intelligence -- colossally hyped flops since the 1980s that
crumbled under sci-fi dreams of mimicking human motivation or emotion.
This effort, they say, is more about 'knowledge representation and
reasoning,' synthesizing existing information to produce not just a
yes/no answer but a lucid explanation ... This is not going to be a
sentient computer or have self-awareness or emotion or anything like
that,' [Noah] Friedland said. 'We're going to have a hard-enough time
with common-sense issues. But this is going to reason about science
and be used as a tool for learning.'"

173 dead today More than 185 people lost their lives today in
Madrid. This graphic homage at left from an illustrator named Forges
at
El Pais, by way of
Spanish blog
caspa.tv. As it was here
in New York, in Spain everything will now be spoken of in terms of
"before March 11," and after.
El Internet fue formado de seres humanos, como nosotros. Un
montón de amor y respeto para todos los amigos de BoingBoing que
viven en Madrid, y en España. Queremos paz tambien, igual como
ustedes.
Madrid-based blogger Ignacio Escolar has this to say:
"ETA ha matado hoy a más personas que en los últimos ocho
años....Decir que "no hay palabras" es un tópico tan usado
que ha perdido su significado. Pero es que, literalmente, hoy no
encuentro en el diccionario nada con lo que nombrar a esta masacre."
(The ETA killed more people today than in the last eight years in
Spain... to say that 'there are no words' is a phrase so overused that
it has lost its significance. But the thing is, literally, today I
can't find anything in the dictionary with which to describe this
massacre.")
Here is a growing list of Spanish-language blogs, many based in
Madrid, covering the terrorist attack and its aftermath. Link.
Many other blogs appear to be
posting this image on their home pages,
as an expression of solidarity. BoingBoing buddy in Spain Antonio
Delgado, of caspa.tv, says that the online edition of Spanish
newspaper El Pais is a paid-access-only site -- but today,
all contents are free, including this PDF version of today's edition.

. Antonio also says traffic to Spanish news websites is up eight times
normal, according to this article and this one -- that's more traffic than they received on 9/11.
And Jean-Luc
says that Spanish professor Jose Luis Orihuela has built a
newsfeed about today's events in this post on his
weblog.

Terrorism and Democracy in Madrid
Terrorism and Democracy in Madrid
03/14/2005 06:01 PM I re-emerge. Sorry for the hiatus. I will do my best in following
posts to recount the sound and fury in my part of Meatspace that has
led to my recent silence in Cyberspace. For now, here I am, in real
time. I'm in Madrid at a meeting convened by the Club of Madrid, a
group of former heads of state, led by former Brazilian president
Fernando Cardoso and, including everyone from Bill Clinton to Mikhail
Gorbachev to Vaclav Havel, to John Major, all seeking to expiate their
sins of office with subsequent good works. The good work at hand is
called The International Summit on Democracy, Terrorism, and Security.
It feel a little like the World Economic Forum, though smaller and
more focused. The security is intense and the press is excluded.(
Though, interestingly, I am posting these words from inside a session,
along with the many other bloggers.) I fear, that despite enough good
intentions to pave a superhighway to hell, not much is likely to come
from this. Everyone seems to be playing we within the boundaries of
his usual rule set. I have yet to hear anyone say something that
seemed likely to mitigate the idiocy of this age. And I'm no better in
this regard. I spent all damned day yesterday in session with many of
the stars of Cyberspace, folks like Joichi Ito, John Gage, Dan
Gillmor, David Weinberger, Ethan Zuckerman, Marc Rotenberg, Andrew
Mclaughlin, Rebecca MacKinnon, etc. etc. Laboring long and loud, we
collectively produced the following statement: The Infrastructure of
Democracy Strengthening the Open Internet for a Safer World March 11,
2005 I. The Internet is a foundation of democratic society in the 21st
century, because the core values of the Internet and democracy are so
closely aligned. 1. The Internet is fundamentally about openness,
participation, and freedom of expression for all -- increasing the
diversity and reach of information and ideas. 2. The Internet allows
people to communicate and collaborate across borders and belief
systems. 3. The Internet unites families and cultures in diaspora; it
connects people, helping them to form civil societies. 4. The Internet
can foster economic development by connecting people to information
and markets. 5. The Internet introduces new ideas and views to those
who may be isolated and prone to political violence. 6. The Internet
is neither above nor below the law. The same legal principles that
apply in the physical world also apply to human activities conducted
over the Internet. II. Decentralized systems -- the power of many --
can combat decentralized foes. 1. Terrorist networks are highly
decentralized and distributed. A centralized effort by itself cannot
effectively fight terrorism. 2. Terrorism is everyone's issue. The
internet connects everyone. A connected citizenry is the best defense
against terrorist propaganda. 3. As we saw in the aftermath of the
March 11 bombing, response was spontaneous and rapid because the
citizens were able to use the Internet to organize themselves. 4. As
we are seeing in the distributed world of weblogs and other kinds of
citizen media, truth emerges best in open conversation among people
with divergent views. III. The best response to abuses of openness is
more openness. 1. Open, transparent environments are more secure and
more stable than closed, opaque ones. 2. While Internet services can
be interrupted, the Internet as a global system is ultimately
resilient to attacks, even sophisticated and widely distributed ones.
3. The connectedness of the Internet – people talking with
people – counters the divisiveness terrorists are trying to
create. 4. The openness of the Internet may be exploited by
terrorists, but as with democratic governments, openness minimizes the
likelihood of terrorist acts and enables effective responses to
terrorism. IV. Well-meaning regulation of the Internet in established
democracies could threaten the development of emerging democracies. 1.
Terrorism cannot destroy the internet, but over-zealous legislation in
response to terrorism could. Governments should consider mandating
changes to core Internet functionality only with extraordinary
caution. 2. Some government initiatives that look reasonable in fact
violate the basic principles that have made the Internet a success. 3.
For example, several interests have called for an end to anonymity.
This would be highly unlikely to stop determined terrorists, but it
would have a chilling effect on political activity and thereby reduce
freedom and transparency. Limiting anonymity would have a cascading
series of unintended results that would hurt freedom of expression,
especially in countries seeking transition to democratic rule. V. In
conclusion we urge those gathered here in Madrid to: 1. Embrace the
open Internet as a foundation of 21st Century democracy, and a
critical tool in the fight against terrorism. 2. Recognizing the
Internet's value as a critical communications infrastructure, invest
to strengthen it against attacks and recover quickly from damage. 3.
Work to spread access more evenly, aggressively addressing the Digital
Divide, and to provide Internet access for all. 4. To protect free
speech and association, endorse the availability of anonymous
communications for all. 5. Resist attempts at international governance
of the Internet: It can introduce processes that have unintended
effects and violate the bottom-up democratic nature of the Net. In
other words, precisely what you would expect us to say. So predictable
as to be the equivalent of silence. And yet, it's what we all
passionately believe. We are now all in a session where we are
presenting this little manifesto. It has just been strongly and rather
surprisingly rebuked by my friend Benjamin Barber who laid out the
usual older, indigerate stuff about how the Internet is nothing but
the handmaiden of big media, scarcely better than television. Now an
Iranian lady has risen to discuss, among other things, the fact that
all the ayatollahs of Iran have sites on the Internet....
