"Data centers are running up our power bills and polluting our air. Robots are offering up lists of kill targets, and in some cases blowing people up on the other end of those lists. In professional conversations, it is increasingly impossible to tell if we are being over-reliant on AI or not using it enough. Slop overruns our phones and feeds. "

Hace unos años (2024) hice una foto a Marc Giró en un Kiosko. Era portada de Forbes con el mensaje "Los secretos de los + Productivos".

2 años después me he acordado de que tenía un programa en Televisión o que lo va a tener. He ido a mirar y por lo visto ya lo tiene pero no anda muy bien en audiencias. No está aplicando los secretos bien.

Looking forward to learning from colleagues at next week's workshop on 'Teaching Anti-Fascism Today' https://ilcs.sas.ac.uk/news-events/events/teaching-anti-fascism-today-developing-shaping-practices
I'll argue that anti-fascist pedagogy can be undermined by forms of microfascism manifesting as advanced technologies https://danmcquillan.org/teaching_antifascism_today.html

I have a 4th position on AI (not sci-fi, not productive, not normal, but diagnostic of systemic collapse). More in 'AI, Decomputing and the Interregnum' - paper https://zenodo.org/records/19457404, video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh0U2o5Ysms

Researchers at security firm RedAccess found more than 5,000 vibe-coded apps, created with AI tools from Lovable, Replit, Base44 and Netlify, with essentially no security, accessible on the open web. About 40% exposed sensitive personal or corporate data. https://www.wired.com/story/thousands-of-vibe-coded-apps-expose-corporate-and-personal-data-on-the-open-web/

Thousands of Vibe-Coded Apps Expose Corporate and Personal Data on the Open Web

Companies like Lovable, Base44, Replit, and Netlify use AI to let anyone build a web app in seconds—and in thousands of cases, spill highly sensitive data onto the public internet.

"Almost all described a deep rethinking of how to teach writing — and whether it still matters, since A.I. has become a better writer than most students (and adults), they said."

Report: Nobel laureate JM Coetzee has refused an invitation to Jerusalem writers festival over Israel's "genocidal campaign in Gaza".

The genocide seems to have been supported by the vast majority of Israelis, said Coetzee, so no considerable sector of Israeli society can claim it shouldn't "share in the blame for the atrocities in Gaza.”
