Xamanismo Coletivo"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
bs2> .. 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.

S. L. CraneOut 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?
No. I would purchase the webinar anyway.
Yes, but it depends on price/who the organizer is.
Yes, I wouldn't purchase the webinar.
Other. (Feel free to comment further.)

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)
