The threat isn\u2019t rogue superintelligence. It\u2019s bullshit at unprecedented scale, reflected back upon itself and iteratively amplified. https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@ct_bergstrom@fediscience.org\/110071982814402962<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one even has to do much of anything to make it move. But none of us have the power to stop it, either. And at some point \u2014 back before we really knew what we were doing \u2014 we hooked those pistons up all over the place. https:\/\/archive.ph\/H7QZ5<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess we\u2019d rather rely on proxying ourselves and our work through some third-party app than work together as a sector, and we\u2019d rather build value for some company happy to take our free ghost-work labour than invest it in building relationality and community amongst ourselves. https:\/\/ammienoot.com\/brain-fluff\/a-quick-thought-about-lxd-and-chatgpt-and-how-nothing-changes\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This series explores the spaces inside some of the world’s finest musical instruments. Photographed using exotic probe lenses and specialist processing techniques, these instrumental interiors appear as vast concert halls or contemporary architecture.

What I ask is for you to do what you can to protect students. #academic<\/a> #surveillance<\/a> #technology<\/a> companies would like nothing more but for us all to shut up. Don\u2019t let them silence you. Don\u2019t let anyone or anything take away your human right to freedom of expression. https:\/\/linkletter.opened.ca\/stand-against-proctorios-slapp-update-30\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This judgment is grotesque. It makes a mockery of BC’s anti-SLAPP statute, to say nothing of Canadian copyright and confidentiality law.” #slapp<\/a> #bcpse<\/a> https:\/\/pluralistic.net\/2023\/04\/20\/links-arent-performances\/#free-ian-linkletter<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
