Human-technology and human-media interactions through adversarial attacks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsFgcyPdcbQ

This week I'll be talking about:

Two Simondonian critiques of Gestalt Theory and a contemporary proposal of how to investigate multidimensional grounds instead of synthetic figures

📣 Presentation at Glücksspielsymposium #SympGS24Forschungsstelle Glücksspiel (Universität Hohenheim)

🎲 Adding to notions of #nudging and #DarkPatterns I spoke about other forms of Human-Technology Relations through #AdversarialAttacks, #Jailbreaking, and #SpecificationGaming

👾 Technical objects always afford more than what is intended by providers in their marketing logic. The spaces of possibility that lie beyond the logic of exploitation in the nature of the object indicate what will happen sooner or later in the application of technologies anyway- and the better you know your way around, the easier it is to help shape, counteract, be creative, make informed decisions and act in a self-determined way.

What's more, dealing with these things is simply a lot of fun. Thank you very much for the invitation and the positive feedback! The slides will soon be available on the University of Hohenheim website.

Gotta love the internet. "Ethos" is a fake restaurant with AI generated content. Owner's name is Fussili. They serve Croissantausarusses. When you try to make a reservation you will get slapped by an eel (try! https://www.ethosatx.net/reservations).

It is at the same time the best AI literacy lesson and the cutest art project. However, I have no idea what their intentions or motivations are. I really hope it kinda turns out like the old fake restaurant that this (quite entertaining) VICE documentation is about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqPARIKHbN8 and they really serve stuff at some point.

Some of this is real, some is AI generated. For the next 3 yrs I will work in a project to create training material for university staff to understand and work with generative AI in their teaching 🌿🌿
