“… it turns out that human beings, we pin our hopes and dreams on attractive others, others who have more than we have, who are prettier than we are, who live more glamorous lifestyles. We have aspirational hopes and dreams embodied in the rich and the famous, the rich, the famous and the beautiful.”

Can #AI speak without a subject?
Impersonal grammar in #LanguageModels constructs authority without accountability.
Ethos is vanishing.
🧠 “The speaker is gone. The syntax rules.”
#ArtificialIntelligence #Ethos

¿Puede la #IA convencer sin sujeto?
La sintaxis impersonal sustituye el ethos: autoridad sin responsabilidad.
“El hablante ha desaparecido.”
#Poder #Lenguaje

A #IA pode convencer sem sujeito?
A gramática impessoal constrói autoridade sem responsabilidade.
“O falante desapareceu.”

Holcim: Ethos critique les "48 millions" de Jan Jenisch

La Fondation Ethos fourbit ses armes en prévision de l'assemblée générale de Holcim de mercredi au cours de laquelle il entend s'opposer à la rémunération du président Jan Jenisch et à l'élection de son remplaçant. La société de conseil aux caisses de pension est en revanche favorable à la scission des activités nord-américaines au sein d'Amrize. #Holcim #Ethos #news

"New York Times bestselling author Cory Doctorow returns to the world of Red Team Blues to bring us the origin story of Martin Hench and the most powerful new tool for crime ever invented: the personal computer.

The year is 1986. The city is San Francisco. Here, Martin Hench will invent the forensic accountant — what a bounty hunter is to people, he is to money — but for now he’s an MIT dropout odd-jobbing his way around a city still reeling from the invention of a revolutionary new technology that will change everything about crime forever, one we now take completely for granted.

'Picks And Shovels' is a high-tech crime thriller about the “weird era of PCs” in the early 1980s, when Reaganomics, the tech industry, multilevel marketing, and the AIDS crisis all converged in San Francisco. "—Jacobin

"Picks And Shovels" by Cory Doctorow @pluralistic, with Yanis Varoufakis @VaroufakisDE & David Moscrop @davidmoscrop.com >

I have never heard of this band, "Potbelly", but this kind of #investigation into #lyrics seems #antithetical to the #American #ethos. Like, say, #freedom of #speech?

Unfortunately, the #evil #orange #dictator has NO inkling of the #American #ethos. That #abomination can only #bully, and #bluster, and #lie, and #destroy. Time to #impeach the #felon in the #WhiteHouse.
