“Platforms optimize for engagement—and we live with the consequences.”

Dr. Motahhare Eslami discusses the structural choices behind algorithmic systems and how those choices create the manipulations we see today. A different value system could create a very different internet.

🚀 Oh, the hubris of believing our coding languages are philosophical muses rather than glorified calculators! 🙄 Let's all write love letters to our compilers, because surely they're more than just machines, right? 😂

Infrastruktur ist nie Hintergrund. Sie ist der erste Einschlag ins Bewusstsein. Bevor ein Wort Bedeutung bekommt, hat die Technik bereits entschieden, wie Nähe, Zeit, Sichtbarkeit und Resonanz möglich sind.

Mit der zweiten Ergänzung zu Kapitel 12 öffnet sich der Codex weiter in Richtung Medienökologie, Protokollanthropologie und Resonanztheorie: Eine Grammatik der Einschläge, von der materiellen Latenz bis zur sozialen Norm.

Was dabei sichtbar wird: Glättung ist keine Freundlichkeit – sie ist Entzug von Welt. Reibung ist kein Fehler – sie ist Wahrnehmung.

🌟 Behold the magical 'Radiant Computer'! Designed by philosophical wizards who think they're the Steve Jobs of the 21st century, it's "free" from Big Tech's clutches but sounds like a utopian cult pitch for computing. 🌈 Because, of course, what the world really needed was another overpriced toy claiming to revolutionize how you "learn, create, and play" on a screen. 🙄

🚀 Ah, yes, because nothing screams "practical" like building an AI infrastructure in space. Let's boldly go where no one needs to go, while sprinkling in some generic "research" and "philosophy." 🌌🤖

We’ve always said 'Only we feel. Only we think. Only we count'. Then came AI. The essay 'AI and the End of Where' strips back the hierarchy we built to keep ourselves special—and asks what intelligence means when the face of it changes. 🧠🤖 ➤ https://philosophics.blog/2025/11/01/ai-and-the-end-of-where/?utm_source=masto&utm_medium=social

🎉 #AWS is more reliable than a toddler with a crayon, until it's not! All it took was a 14-hour hiccup to turn seasoned techies into nail-biting, hotel-bound philosophers questioning cloud infallibility 🤔. Apparently, #SLAs are just good suggestions when the cloud gods decide to nap. 💥
