@michelacozza Have you seen this guy michela. Sociotechnics of anti-aging... crazy project! https://fortune.com/well/2023/01/26/bryan-johnson-extreme-anti-aging
A 45-year-old tech CEO is spending millions a year to be 18 again—even though his doctor admits the results are minimal

Ultra-rich Bryan Johnson sees a team of 30 doctors for regular, and sometimes invasive, tests to make him biologically younger, according to a recent feature in Bloomberg.

I am writing a ”field guide” outlining how we can study the politics of machine learners ethnographically.

What stuff do I need to have a handle on? Especially inspired by the STS inclination to study the construction of AI ethnographically.

Wondering how ethics in the form of probability will leave any space for compassion based ethics or solidarity based ethics. An ethics of mathematical probability seems to be becoming materialized all around us. Thoughts when reading ”Fairness Aware Machines Learning”.

Movetodon is great for finding out which of your Twitter friends are on Mastodon so you can selectively migrate them over.

Fedifinder lets you determine which Mastodon instances your Twitter friends use, so you can decide which instance to use.

Followgraph looks up all the people you follow on Mastodon, and the people *they* follow, so you can find people to follow.

Today is #HolocaustMemorialDay

The Murder of People with Disabilities

At the beginning of WWII, people with mental or physical disabilities were targeted for murder in what the Nazis called the T-4, or "euthanasia," program.
