Human Experience, Machine Data: An Older Worker in a Humanoid Labor Market | NOV-HUM Ep. 1 Part 1

NOV-HUM · EPISODE 1 OF 25 · PART 1 OF 2 Human Experience, Machine Data — Part I “Your experience is more than sufficient.” Jaeho Yoon gave the faintest smile. In a job interview, more than sufficient was usually followed by something less encouraging. As expected, the interviewer glanced down at the screen. “Your field evaluations are strong as well. Your exception-handling score is particularly high.” “That’s one thing I’m good at,” Jaeho said. “I’ve found destinations when the address was wrong, tracked down owners for packages with no one there to receive them, and gotten vehicles out of alleys when they were stuck in the rain. If a machine couldn’t find something, I usually could.” The older-looking of the two interviewers across from him nodded. Jaeho’s work history filled the screen. Delivery driver — 18 years Sorting supervisor — 9 years Field team lead — 6 years Total — 33 years Below that were the results from his most recent contract position. Misdirected-delivery recovery ra...

Eggplant Naengguk with Buckwheat Noodles | Eating to Live No. 3

Eating to Live — A Savor Balance Pop-Up Kitchen · No. 3 When a Korean Summer Side Dish Becomes Dinner Food for people who still have work to do tomorrow. I put buckwheat noodles into a bowl of Korean summer cold soup. Not cucumber naengguk. Not dongchimi. Eggplant naengguk. The eggplant had been lightly steamed, torn, seasoned, and chilled. Then I poured cold broth around it and added buckwheat noodles. The short version is this: It worked much better than I expected. Getting there, however, was not particularly elegant. At one point, I sprayed cold water directly over freshly steamed eggplant because I was impatient and wanted it to cool faster. Later, I discovered that I had only one 350-gram packet of packaged naengmyeon broth for three people. Somewhere between the eggplant shower and the disappearing broth supply, dinner became an experiment. What finally reached the table was a three-serving cold noodle bowl made with seasoned steamed eggplant, buckwheat noodles, packaged Korean ...

The Death of “Good” and “Bad” | Interpreting Coordinates Ch. 2

Interpreting Coordinates The Human Role in an Algorithmic World PART I · Chapter 2 Why Judgment Language No Longer Works People still speak this way. This is good. That’s not so great. Worth recommending. I would go back. For a long time, this language felt sufficient. Communication appeared to function without resistance. Today, however, these words are steadily losing their effect. By themselves, they no longer do enough explanatory work. 1. “Good” and “Bad” Are the Easiest Words Calling something good is easy. Calling it bad is just as easy. These words allow explanation to be skipped. They reduce responsibility. They bring thinking to a quick conclusion. That convenience is precisely why we relied on them for so long. 2. The Problem Is Not Language, but Environment Judgment language¹ did not fail because people became less capable. The environment changed.ᶜ Options multiplied rapidly. Points of comparison expanded dramatically. More of what we encounter is now filtered, ranked, or ...

In this health series, AEP does not diagnose gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), measure gastric or esophageal function, selec...

Why the World No Longer Needs Another Review | Interpreting Coordinates Ch. 1

Interpreting Coordinates The Human Role in an Algorithmic World PART I · Chapter 1 We live surrounded by reviews. Wherever we go, whatever we consider, someone else’s evaluation arrives first. It’s good. It’s fine. Recommended. I would come back. These phrases were once useful. Options were limited. Information was scarce. Today, they are steadily losing their force. The reason is simple. Reviews, by themselves, no longer help us decide. 1. When “It’s Fine” Says Nothing The most common evaluation we encounter today is this: It’s fine. Not bad. Not a failure. Nothing to warn against. Yet the phrase carries a critical flaw. Why choose it, then? “It’s fine” isolates its object. It cuts the object off from its relations and allows it to exist only on its own terms. At that point, the reader is left with a quiet question: What does this have to do with me? 2. Reviews Reduce Objects to Singular Stories Most reviews compress their subject into a single narrative. This place is like this. This...
