penworksDecomputing in a Processed World.
From Dan McQuillan
(https://www.danmcquillan.org/resisting_genai_highered_cjuu.html)
*Resisting GenAI & Big Tech in Higher Education*
I suggest we situate our resistance to AI inside and outside higher education as forms of decomputing.
Decomputing rejects scale because that drives carbon emissions,
but also because our agency is undermined by our immersion in a system of machinic relations, which includes the contemporary university
Decomputing is based on the principles of degrowth, care and conviviality.
We need systems that don't depend on continuous expansion, whether that's AI, universities or entire economies.
We need to start from care to counter algorithmic detachment and eugenicist abstractions.
Conviviality gives us ways to collectively assess tech's effects on relatedness and bio-interaction.
Wherever AI is proposed as ‘the answer’ there's already a structural problem.
One that's best addressed through the direct social relations of those most affected.

I'm not academic, but I believe education like pretty much everything is or becomes colonised by the domination systems which keep us enthralled.
Everything in a cultural sense seems to be reduced to a transaction.

Dorothée GoetzeIt's conference time again. I start into this conference with a cup of coffee and good read on a park bench.
NiléaneSo, the last time Tim Cook bribed Trump (with a $1M donation to his inauguration fund) the Apple tech bros kept telling us that was a personal donation from Cook, not from Apple the company.
What's their line of defense gonna be now that the bribe has a big ass Apple logo on it?

🏳️🌈🖖🏽These moments are for the history books. When your kids and grandkids ask you whether you stood up and fought back, be someone who can say you did.
ideogramSomeone has produced these stickers and been putting them on Israeli produce (like hummus) in the UK. Depressingly needed genius.
