Steve Jobs Knew the Moment the Future Had Arrived. It's Calling Again
Steve Jobs is 28 years old, and seems a little nervous as he starts his speech to a group of designers gathered under a large tent in Aspen, Colorado. He fiddles with his bow tie and soon removes his suit jacket, dropping it to the floor when he finds no other place to set it down. It is 1983, and he's about to ask designers for their help in improving the look of the coming wave of personal computers. But first he will tell them that those computers will shatter the lives they have led to date. "How many of you are 36 years … older than 36?" he asks.
My Memories Are Just Meta's Training Data Now
In R. C. Sherriff's novel The Hopkins Manuscript, readers are transported to a world 800 years after a cataclysmic event ended Western civilization. In pursuit of clues about a blank spot in their planet's history, scientists belonging to a new world order discover diary entries in a swamp-infested wasteland formerly known as England. For the inhabitants of this new empire, it is only through this record of a retired school teacher's humdrum rural life, his petty vanities and attempts to breed prize-winning chickens, that they begin to learn about 20th-century Britain. If I were to teach futuristic beings about life on earth, I once believed I could produce a time capsule more profound than Sherriff's small-minded protagonist, Edgar Hopkins. But scrolling through my decade-old Facebook posts this week, I was presented with the possibility that my legacy may be even more drab.

Pushing Buttons: the fast, furious world of games releases
There was a time when it was possible to play pretty much every interesting video game released in a given year, from nailed-down 9/10 blockbusters to that divisive horror curio. That's not the case now – not only because games have gotten longer and more involving, as I wrote about last week, but also because so many of them are released. The publisher model, where a few big companies controlled the release calendar, has given way to a mix of legacy megaliths (Sony, EA, Nintendo, Microsoft), indie publishers (Devolver, Annapurna, Team17), self-releasing developers and everything in between. How is a player supposed to keep up? Good curation is one of the most useful things a games critic can offer in 2022.
NotForgotten to Use Veritone's Artificial Intelligence Platform to Power Digital Time Capsules
Princeton, New Jersey--(Newsfile Corp. - December 3, 2019) - NotForgotten Digital Library LLC, creators of the first digital time capsule powered by blockchain, today announced their use of Veritone aiWARE and Digital Media Hub. Veritone's cognitive capabilities will add a new dimension to NotForgotten's current offerings by adding automated video transcription and metadata creation to make large volumes of video content easily searchable. Videos within NotForgotten archives can then be easily accessed through the custom-branded Digital Media Hub and users can discover insights about a set time and place in history. "The new capabilities Veritone is adding to NotForgotten's archives are set to change the way future historians study our present," says Adrienne Liebenberg, co-founder at NotForgotten. "Veritone aiWARE will analyze the videos within the NotForgotten Digital Library and add AI-enabled insights about society and people within a set time and place. This will be the first time we - society at large - will have the framework in place to not only record and research history from a personal perspective, but to also see how these events made people feel."

How to Design Beacons for Humanity's Afterlife
Let's say we had a way to distribute beacons around our solar system (or beyond) that could survive for billions of years, recording what our civilization has achieved. What should they be like? It's easy to come up with what I consider to be sophomoric answers. But in reality I think this is a deep--and in some ways unsolvable--philosophical problem, that's connected to fundamental issues about knowledge, communication and meaning. Still, a friend of mine recently started a serious effort to build little quartz disks and have them hitch rides on spacecraft, to be deposited around the solar system. At first I argued that it was all a bit futile, but eventually I agreed to be an advisor to the project, and at least try to figure out what to do to the extent we can. We just have to think about archaeology to know this is hard. What exactly was some arrangement of stones from a few thousand years ago for? Sometimes we can pretty much tell, because it's close to something in our current ...

A.I. Takes a Stroll Through Amsterdam
Read about the world's tallest building, the longest bicycle, the most modern tractor and a discovered time capsule that cannot be opened until the year 2957. Shoe manufacturer New Balance is stepping onto the 3-D printing platform with a new running shoe that incorporates a 3-D printed midsole that can be customized to each runner. New Balance is making the shoe available for the first time in Boston in April, 2016 -- timed to coincide with the Boston Marathon. It's difficult to believe that with all of the unrest in Iraq, a company such as AMBS Architects would propose building a skyscraper to rival Dubai's Burj Khalifa, which stands 830-meters high. But here it is: the 1,152-meter-tall Bride's tower. The building is being suggested for Basra, located in the south of Iraq -- a rapidly growing center for business.

On Reading Issues of Wired from 1993 to 1995
One thing I've noticed since moving to San Francisco is that my cohort in the tech world doesn't talk that much about the industry's past. This is understandable: it's easy to forget that tech has a history. Just as old hardware is regularly tossed and replaced, the Web washes itself clean. But a few months ago, while researching early hacker webzines, I found myself in the backwaters of Wired's online archive, reading technological forecasts from 1993. A few moments later, I was on eBay, where I started to bid on strangers' dusty collections of early issues of Wired, all from the years 1993 to 1995.
