No country is immune to the far right. No country is immune to the normalization of the far right.

Mientras más conocemos sobre IA menos nos gusta.

What is unique about our new dashboard for tracking media labelled as misleading or manipulated on X is its ability to display Community Notes that haven't yet met the criteria and are not visible to the public on the platform. cn.deepfakestracker.org

A few weeks ago @emollick.bsky.social hyped this alleged study showing positive impact of AI in Nigerian education. Mercifully @ddmeyer.bsky.social has dug into what's really happening so I don't have to, and unsurprisingly, it's a crock. We need to do better. open.substack.com/pub/danmeyer...

Este debate es complejo y de discusión polarizante, pero este es un buen artículo: "En lugar de afrontar la variedad de efectos de todo este cambio social, económico y tecnológico, Haidt nos ofrece un sentido estrecho y disecado de lo social".

Si con la foto de la toma de posesión de Trump, donde los señoros billonarios de las Big Tech fueron colocados por delante del equipo de gobierno, nuestra clase política no entiende porque defendemos la necesidad de una #DigitalizaciónDemocrática, apaga y vámonos.

La táctica es inundar de tonteras para poder hacer las maldades.

Deeply creepy move on the part of Meta. The vibes are horrible. Like something out of a horror movie, and especially with a side of actual POC, or queer folks, or queer POC getting replaced by bots that are presumably supposed to puppet identities in stereotyped/stereotyping or superficial way.

Meta is testing, or has started to ship, its AI generated profiles, here on Instagram www.instagram.com/himamaliv #SocialWeb

I don't want my fridge to have a camera or Wi-Fi. I don't want my dishwasher to be smart. I don't want my washing machine to text me. In fact, I kinda miss knobs and dials and knowing big appliances would last 20 years and could still be repaired.

Pivoting to video, then metaverse, then AI destroyed more trust than they’ve created but I’m not a billionaire capitulating to the dumbest fucking authoritarians history has ever seen.

“It simply becomes accepted that rights are not bestowed by humanity, but by the parties who decide who is human… If they must die, let it be a crime.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I made a couple of explainer images about AI you can send to the old people in your family. Ask them to write letters to their MPs telling them to stop rolling out the red carpet for these grifters.

📢NEW: 'Open' AI systems aren't open. The vague term, combined w frothy AI hype is (mis)shaping policy & practice, assuming 'open source' AI democratizes access & addresses power concentration. It doesn't. @smw.bsky.social, @davidthewid.bsky.social & I correct the record👇 nature.com/articles/s41...

Taylor Owen, Director of The Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy at McGill University, writes that the merger of state and tech power is a fundamental challenge to democratic governance in the digital age.

I am glad I left when I did. "Elon Musk confirmed that posts containing links in their main text are deprioritized on X." www.mediaite.com/news/elon-mu...

New article with @jnelz.bsky.social, where we make the case for labour-focused journalism education: shorturl.at/4tLW9

Harari (2024): "Throughout this book, 'truth' is understood as something that accurately represents reality" Four pages later: "No account of reality is 100 percent accurate" 🤷‍♂️

Researchers working in critical edtech studies - just over 2 weeks to send proposals for our conference in Zurich next June. Help build a community of critical edtech research. Especially hope it appeals to doctoral and early career researchers www.de.ed.ac.uk/news/call-ab...

Estaremos hablando de políticas educacionales, comunicación y mediatización. No se lo pierda! fcei.uchile.cl/agenda/22299...

💭Thinking about this post by @drmarkcarrigan.bsky.social from *checks notes* 2022 re. the future of academic capital mediated by social media platforms. #AcademicSky #AcademicSocialMedia

It’s been a year since I last logged into Bluesky and the self-congratulatory atmosphere on the platform still bugs me slightly. It is AN answer to the cesspool which X has become but it’s not THE answer. The business model is still utterly uncertain markcarrigan.net/2023/10/18/%...

The Onion should buy Elsevier next

Salvo por el simplismo de "almacenar información", en esta pasada estoy de acuerdo con el rector. Y mucha literatura crítica sobre IA también.

Yo consumiendo cosas "anti-magnates".
