Gerne teilen wemn ihr jemanden kennt, für den das interessant sein könnte <3 #FeministTech #FeministDesign
The engineer looks at that and goes:
"What the fuck am I supposed to do with a class of academics that refuse to emotionally grow up?"
Then they pause. And they realize: these people aren't malicious. They're local actors that act in locally coherent ways that reproduce globally incoherent systemic outcomes.
The engineer looks at **that** and goes:
"How do we fix that?"
And the answer the engineer arrives at is simple. They write a story in anger at 3am, and close with an open invitation:
If you're so certain you're right about AI, hard skills, and "touchy feely" soft skills, then why not invite the neuroqueer systemic engineer that builds a sub-Turing compiler that solves the Alignment Problem for structured inference onto your show. I double dare you. (Hand me your delicious unintegrated projections. I'll mirror them right back.)
Let's see which pitch the wine glass produces now. (Prediction: Dismissal and emotionally detached engagement trying to steelman me.) 🍷
(Fun fact: this whole thread is a paradoxical second-order cybernetic intervention. The fun thing about those: they work, even when you know the mechanism. 😉)
Cheers

I can't sleep. I can write. So I'm writing..
Let me tell you a story. About an engineer that's been in tech for 15 years, burned out three times, left the industry, started systemic training, and then realized what they had been taught in school was not only incomplete, it was actively misleading.
Not because of bad actors (although these exists, newsflash, I know). But from the geometry of composition. The structure of who talks to whom, when, in which order, produced properties that none of the individual parts had — the composed system's complexity exceeded the regulatory variety any single actor had been built to handle. Ashby's law, applied to alignment: a regulator must match the variety of the system it regulates. The parts were sized for themselves. The composition exceeded their variety.
(Are we talking about AI or are we talking about humans? Yes.)

If your organisation directly supports survivors, or handles tech-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) cases, we would love 5–10 minutes of your time to fill out an anonymous survey. The framing centres women but also includes sexual minorities and sex workers.

I visited @canodrom this morning. I forgot to leave some stickers… Yet another reason for me to come back to Barcelona as soon as possible. Lovely people, super curious projects and approach, especially in the relationship with el barrio (neoghborhood).
It was interesting curious to learn that the whole Canodrom is manages by @colectic_coop, a cooperative that won the 4-years grant by the municipality of Barcelona. The vast majority of the funding is both public and local!

Attending #MozFest this week?
Join us today at 1:30 p.m. CET for the Internet Exchange talk, 'Encryption and Feminism: Reimagining Child Safety Without Surveillance.'
Superbloom’s @georgia will help facilitate a discussion on the imperative to create systems for child safety rooted in encryption and feminist principles—not mass surveillance.
Secure your spot and add the session to your schedule now: https://mzf.st/160

Over the past year, APC amplified environmental defenders' voices through a feminist and Indigenous research framework in four #GlobalSouth countries.
We also supported #Rohingya refugees in reclaiming their narratives against disinformation in Myanmar.
