Anthropology thinks of "technology beyond the machines of Western industrial-capitalism & engages with technologies across time & space, and across human & non-human actors", write Geoffrey Hobbis and Stephanie Ketterer, in OEA's latest entry on technology. www.anthroencyclopedia.com/entry/techno...
Technology
Technology broadly refers to objects or actions that are linked to tekhne, an ancient Greek term for ‘skill’ or ‘craftmanship’. Anthropologists of technology sometimes employ this understanding as a s...

Halte dieses Semester ein Seminar zu digitalem Kapitalismus und muss angesichts der jüngsten 8 Monate sagen, dass die Texte von 2012-2023 das politisch-dystopisch, autoritäre Potential des Zusammenfalls von Vorhersagetechnologien und Monopolen in „Big Tech“ noch unterschätzt haben.

if Nazi Germany is viewed

Kleiner Crashkurs in politischer Psychologie: Wenn etablierte Parteien AfD-Positionen kopieren, um Wähler "zurückzuholen", passiert genau das Gegenteil. Warum? Menschen bevorzugen bei ideologischen Positionen das Original. Die Sozialpsychologie nennt das den "Authentizitätseffekt": 🧵 1/5

With each update, tools like Midjourney promise us more »realistic« representations – but the »reality« these images represent has often little to do with the one we live in. Rather, they are best described as »Platform Realism,« a second-order aesthetic of generic images. A thread ...

A commonly held notion is that Germany's far-right party AfD is especially successful in the country's more rural areas. However, a look at the party's election results in over 10,000 municipalities suggests that the link between rurality and AfD support is rather diffuse. A simple thread. 🧵👇

My disgust at the idea that a definitive “repository of all human knowledge & culture” is both desirable *and* possible was exactly why I wrote “Negative Scholarship on the Fifth State of Being.”

There are MANY forms of cultures & knowledges beyond the language-based logocentric ones AI captures. +

Ah nothing like reading the Chief AI Scientist at Meta and a“godfather” of GenAi advocate for the outright pillaging of all of our creative works. Thank you for letting us know our livelihoods and work mean nothing, as long as their dear for profit tech has fodder to train with. 👍
Linked in post of, Yann LeCun, the Chief Scientist at Meta. He says as follows: Every institution, library, foundation, cultural group, and government around the world that possesses cultural content should make it available for training ***free and open*** Al foundation models. Free and open Al systems will constitute the repository of all human knowledge and culture. Perhaps someone could draft a new content license to that effect: "you can use our content to train your Al system, but only if you make it freely available with open weights and open source inference code."
