As I journey deeper into Whitehead I hope that Isabelle Stengers will shed some light into his philosophy and help this sociologist make sense of speculative philosophy.

Nach diesem unglaublich guten Long Read zu Netflix und der Art und Weise, wie die Plattform Filme produziert, wollt ihr euren Account löschen.

"How can we ensure that AI benefits everyone?" We can't.

Fühlt sich fast schon seltsam an, endlich mal ein Anliegen der Polizei 100 Prozent zu unterstützen zu können. I feel you!

Fucking unfassbar, ich habe es so satt, wie wir als Gesellschaft Männer als Täter entschuldigen.

Wie bitter: Famita B. hatte im Uniklinikum #Magdeburg Verletzte des Anschlags versorgt, jetzt landete die Intensivschwester nach einem rassistischen Angriff selbst in der Notaufnahme. Sie ist offenbar nur eine von vielen Betroffenen in der Stadt:

Gig economy and algorithm-powered labor has gone so wrong so many times but this may be that most cyncial turn yet.

All I want for christmas ... is a 1000 Euro coupon for my favourite bookshop to buy SO SO MANY BOOKS.

Da krieg ich sofort schlechte Laune: Immer wenn man glaubt den Abgrund an misogynem Verhalten erreicht zu haben, findet sich darunter ein noch viel tieferer Abgrund. www.tagesschau.de/investigativ...

AI is basically become a Ponzi scheme at this point with to many investors having invested too much money to admit that the product is flawed (if there even is one) so instead you have to recruit new investors to get your money back.

Very happy with my piece for Esmeraldas "24/7 Big Data" catalogue. The piece is still on display at Schauwerk Sindelfingen and its great, so have a look if you are nearby.

Sicher, dass da nicht "Mansplaining 101" stehen sollte?

This made my day. I too was riddled with questions during and after the screening of Gladiator II. Including, but not limited, to how the fuck did they transport white sharks into the colliseum and how come Connie Nielsen couldn't just buy Paul Mescals slave character and be done with it?

The biggest acknowledgment for finishing my latest article goes out to DeepL. I could not have done it withhout you, buddy. Sincerly thanks, ze german.

Yes, Quantum Computing is interesting. But best thing to learn from such articles is: Next hype cycle (legitimizing demand for more power, data, water and land) is approaching its ascend to climax.

💥 THE BATTLE BEGINS 💥 The tech industry has had quite a year with its billionaires revealing who they really are for all to see. Who will be the WORST PERSON IN TECH? 🗳️ Voting is now open: forms.gle/XYERvxNFTBV1...

1. It’s not possible to keep “AI” out of “the humanities” so long as the humanities inhabit an institution. 2. AI is first/foremost an amplification of—the operationalization of—long-standing forces acting on (within) that institution. 3. It’s not about the technology. It’s about the capital.

Find somebody who also binges Buffy and Angel so that you can share gossip you read on reddit instead of dealing with real world problems.

The AI generated Spotify Wrapped Mess made it clear that I need to broaden my musical horizons. Please recommend your favourite playlist and albums to me so that I wont die a musical dummy .🎶🎸🎵

OpenAI in 2024: “No AI for weapons or military” “Do use our AI to make weapons to hurt yourself or others” “Military is fine, but no AI for weapons” “Sure put it on battlefield drones” www.technologyreview.com/2024/12/04/1...

That would be wealthy parents.

Agree to disagree.

I need a starter pack for "surving capitalism".

I am a member in a solidarity cooperative agriculture near Leipzig. They run a farm and harvest vegetables (and soon fruit) delivered to members via a box subscription model. To see the people there today for our general assembly, feel their enthusiasm & see what they built in 5 years is incredible

I am in the "everthying is lost, this will never work and I am stupid" phase of my PhD please tell me that this shall pass.

This is key to understanding the climate threat: “Cloud computing takes little energy on the end users’ device not because technology has evolved to a point where processing is ephemeral—though it appears so to the end user—but because the processing is outsourced to a computer in a data center.”

AI hype ist just unhinged - if the headline would say "church uses pattern recognition software to automate sermons" this would sound way less exciting. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

This is a death cult that has locked us all in the compound with them

As a Halt & Catch Fire super fan AND academic, this is the stuff I want to create and how I want to teach: The Halt and Catch Fire Syllabus to think about history of technology bits.ashleyblewer.com/halt-and-cat...

Reading humblebrag posts on linkedin is my guilty pleasure.

The academic job market after the 237th round of budget cuts.

Combining a lot of my interests in my workshop today: We'll discuss Postdigital worlds, how they are shaped by algorithms and Gen AI and how this affects construction of gender in kids and teens. I'll did a deep dive into AI generated filters on social media and looking forward to our discussions.

Das sind natĂĽrlich genau die Schlagzeilen, die frau morgens nach dem Aufwachen ĂĽber das eigene Bundesland lesen will.

đź”»TALK MORE-THAN-HUMAN TO MEđź”» I'll be in the Bay Area/Berkeley Oct 12-18 & in Santa Cruz Oct 20-23 and would love to talk to people about more-than-human design & HCI. Any recommendations are very welcome! Feel free to share and DM me for more information.

I just interviewed the three academics who wrote this paper and it was the most fun I've had on an interview. Next week on Better Offline - ChatGPT is Bullshit link.springer.com/article/10.1...
