It's weird that some lies are told over and over, and we don't do a thing about it, and a little bit of though in it shows the contradictions of the reality.

Contradictions

The world is full of contradiction, but are we looking at the right one?

"In more than one way, #generativeAI, with its promise to save and even abolish labor while consuming enormous resources, including often precarious and badly paid #humanlabor, might represent the ultimate form of #capitalistgimmick. By turning this gimmick into a tangible gadget [Paragraphica], Karmann has created a #philosophicaltoy in the truest sense: a physical model that allows us to grasp some of the underlying mechanisms of AI’s impact on our current #digitalvisualculture."

Finally online: My essay on #PlatformRealism for #Transbordeur. There couldn't be a more appropriate week to publish it, even though when I wrote it last year I couldn't have imagined the extent to which AI slop would become the aesthetic of a new fascism. This essay is a kind of summary of the ideas about #PlatformRealism that I've been mainly developing on various online platforms over the past few years. Reading it now feels a little weird: I think most of the ideas are still valid, but only now are their political implications becoming clear. 1/ https://journals.openedition.org/transbordeur/2299?lang=en

> .. the media-theoretical logic of interaction between the intelligent device and humans has changed: from simulation to immersion of human skills, from the machine “growing into” human cognitive capacities to exploiting human cognitive capacities, from the machine substituting #HumanLabor to the power strategy of capturing human labor within distributed higher-order apparatuses. I refer to this as #CyberneticUnderstanding of AI—which is meant as an oppositional concept to #SimulativeAI.

AI Is a Lot of Work

How many humans does it take to make tech seem human? Millions to support OpenAI, Google, Meta, and every other major tech company. As AI becomes ubiquitous, a vast tasker underclass is emerging — and not going anywhere.

Out of curiosity, how do you all feel about AI transcription services (for webinars and similar online events) like Otter from the perspective of a consumer? For example, say you're interested in a webinar that you'd have to pay for but the organizer only provides machine-generated, not fully accurate CCs/transcripts (i.e., no humans are getting hired/paid). Does that affect your decision?

#AI #accessibility #humanlabor #Otter

No. I would purchase the webinar anyway.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist. -Louis Nizer, lawyer (6 Feb 1902-1994)
