if you are planning, like me, to leave this platform, i would suggest first downloading your data. if you are in the eu, file a subject access request (data should be more granular) or just use the in-app available “take away” tool to download it.

this screenshot from an article by @404mediaco on AI slops perfectly captures the trickle down responsibility pushed w/new technologies, especially GenAI. I already wrote about putting the burden on individuals in an op-ed in @PolicyR before the GenAI boom but equally valid 1/2

while i could only laugh at it, this type of "naive" & assumingly "cute" default features (this is a feature by default you need to disable yourself) can really have harmful consequences for some . there are other issues, like privacy & such, but that's a blogpost material.

what is one of the biggest issues with "automated technologies"? they lack context. just yesterday i woke up to my iphone making unsolicited memory album of the "early moments" of a relationship that has already broken down. 1/2

especially the University.
"The university has an obligation to interrogate the proposition that a world in which AI is widely used is desirable or inevitable. We don’t need to cheer for a vision of tomorrow in which scientists feel comfortable with not reading articles . "

Critically approaching AI technologies? this one's for you:.
"“Algorithmic Sabotage” as a means of consciously working on artistic and prefigurative techno-political strategies and aesthetics against the necropolitical technologies that reinforce structural injustices and algorithmic authoritarianism".

now this is a book I am looking forward to read!.
I just got the proofs for my new book and it's a real beauty! One final check before the book is printed and published in January 2025. Pre-orders really matter! Please grab a copy at your favorite place to buy books.

as I am finishing my PhD thesis, I am planning on knitting this anti-surveillance sweater by @OttiliaW, and with it wrap up and combine my love for science, knitting and rebellion, and my despise for abuses of power.
