Requiring accountability would reassure those affected by decisions derived from artificialintelligence while avoiding the potential harms associated with transparency.

could allow peopleto rig the system. It could also reveal trade secrets and otherwise harm the competitiveadvantage of a system’s developers.
people want transparency with technology coding of AI but then it would give away peoples advantage and sensitive data would be releasd
This “black box” problem arises fromthe trait that makes artificial intelligence so powerful: its ability to learn and improve fromexperience without explicit instructions.

He’s focusing on growth, he said,and expects to begin rolling out MoviePass in Europe and Asia by the end of the year
This company is trying to use granularity data about movie customers to try and predict what marketing strategies would generate the greatest amount of revenue. However, they do not have the money to back them and their data isn't worth enough to sell. In addition, I think they are trying to do too much by co-owning films as well as producing their own films. Already talking about growing to Europe and Asia when they haven't even done it here yet, unlike Disney who was more succesful and still knew they couldn't grow yet

Because markings do not foreclose but hypothesize relations; they signify or bear significance only in relation to other marks and other readers, after all
so how do we know what any of his inscriptions mean
In this case, the thing that is not counted subsumes the pot as well as the entire system of not counting or valuing blackness and the national institutions that support such diminishments in spite of the ironic fact that estate and census records commonly listed property, scrupulously counting object-possessions including enslaved people as enumerable “things.
Is there a connection between counting people, more specifically counting the black people, and counting the pots
usefully turn to the couplet at the start of this essay, in which he admits to being a belonging, but the many bold assertions of subjective authority
I find the fact that he says he is "a belonging" and then writes on his pottery that he made this, so it seems like he is showing that he owns this and its his belonging, but then at the same time he also writes "LM owns this" on some of them. So is he trying to make a point or is he struggling with what is his and what is not
utterances such as “I made this” and “Dave belongs,” which reimagine slave literacy or expression, in connection with notions of [End Page 7] objecthood, the thing, the subaltern, fungiblility, and embodiment, just to name a few.
he is proud of what he is doing
declares “Dave” to be both slave and maker:
this is the first time we have seen a slave have another title. interesting to compare to "slave girl" in Harriet Jacobs story.
represented his own, nonviolent resistance to slavery but also reflected the ambivalence of at least some of his masters to the laws of oppression
He stood up to slavery in a way that was subtle and non-violent. Simply by signing the pots and writting the poems he proved that he could read and write and gave others the inspiration to do so as well. His owners also showed resistance by letting him sign them in a time when they could have been thrown in jail for that
The slave system did not allow for any other legal methods by which to obtain, or grant, freedom.[58]
I thought that you could free a slave in your will, so that after you died they had their freedom?

why would he make this notation to his slave owner. It seems so nice
At the very least, it would take a person capable of complex rationalizations to be both slave owner and a proper minister.
this is very interesting. We have talked about religion but now a minister is actually a slave holder as well.

eems to indicate that Dave’s owners—believed to have been Reverend John Landrum and, subsequently, his son, B. F. Landrum—did not allow Dave to sign and date his pots
does this show that lewis miles was a nicer slave owner than Landrum?
those with religious masters wanted them to be able to read the Bible; slave children absorbed the teachings of white children; literate slaves shared their knowledge with others; and, in some situations, literacy was necessary in order for slaves to perform their jobs.
How some slaves were able to read and write when it was prohibited
“Literate or illiterate, skilled or unskilled, African Americans lived with oppression from whites. Edgefield slaves endured savage cruelty, family separation, and sexual abuse from their masters. . . . Violence and the threat of physical punishment underlay all other devices and strategies for the control of slaves. Whites had absolute authority to whip slaves, whether adult or child. Slave parents had to stand aside if whites wanted to whip children. Slave children had to watch while whites humiliated and whipped fathers and mothers.”
this is such a blunt and descriptive recording of the incidents which were occuring. Who would have recorded this, it seems like they are unphased.
This is intriguing evidence that Dave’s masters might have allowed other activities or a period of rest on the Christian Sabbath.
religion is important. we have seen this
Dave’s skill at turning and coiling such large pots may have been unique in the Edgefield District, making his products much in demand as plantation utilitarian wares.
he was very skilled, people wanted his work
The attributed pieces, including vessels dating from 1829 to 1836, are believed to have been made by Dave at the Pottersville pottery, where apparently he was not allowed to sign his wares.
they were attributed to him becasue he couldnt sign them. why would he not be able to sign them if they were still going to give him the recognition
The earliest known dated vessel signed “Dave” is a storage jar dated “January 27th, 1840”; the latest is a storage jar dated “March 31, 1864.”

After David Drake’s death, Mark Jones and one of his sons worked at another Edgefield District pottery, continuing the stoneware legacy
Teaching what he knows to new generation. From the other books we have read it seems like passing on what you have learned is very important to people who were slaves.
Dave changed his name to David Drake, combining a more dignified first name with the surname of his original known owner.
I find it very interesting that he would take the name of his first owner once he was freed
“I made this Jar all of cross / If you don’t repent, you will be lost.
What is this saying? is this his symbol of prayer? that if he does not pray to god he will be lost in slavery?
