Come and visit us in Helsinki next year! Feel free to drop a message if you have any questions about the centre and the cool people doing work here.

Situación en Twitter: Habían sacado una pestañita en cada perfil con el origen de la cuenta (país) Han tenido que retirar hoy la pestañita pq la gente ha descubierto que mogollón de cuentas pro republicanas, supremacistas etc tienen origen en India y otros países inesperados.

I think BlueSky is finally moving in towards what Twitter was at its peak. Interesting content & debate without forgetting the funny comments that make everything somewhat bearable. All of that without an algorithm to sink you into doomscrolling. Please @bsky.app don't force algorithmic feeds on us!

That somehow someone at the UN is able to make and post and AI generated video including a false testimony from a rape and war without anyone realizing how wrong that is until The Guardian approached for comment. just shows how acritically people are adopting AI as a tool. It's devastating.

Hello friends. In the early days of Bsky, it was trans and other LGBTQ+ folk, along with s*xworkers, n s f w art folk, and Alf aficionados that built the platform—early refugees from X. Now @bsky.app made a change that auto blocks such posts. You must manually opt out. bsky.app/profile/bsch...

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Un periodista italiano, despedido por preguntar en Bruselas si Israel debía hacerse cargo de la reconstrucción de Gaza www.eldiario.es/internaciona...

Mamdani es BlueSkyero desde el principio y la conversación en X sobre su candidatura estaba llena de odio y rechazo. A ver si más figuras relevantes en prensa y política empiezan a entender que la otra red no representa en absoluto un sentir popular o relevante para juzgar desarrollos políticos.

Best metaphor I've heard is that using AI is like bringing a forklift to lift the weights at the gym. The point is to build YOUR muscles, not to make the weights go up and down.

This IS a great metaphor! #AI is akin to outsourcing your brain to a 5-year-old on acid. It doesn't know a lot, and what it does know comes out like gibberish.

I am one of the editors of EASST review. It's a great and approachable way to get your thoughts about STS out. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Late to the party - but at long last this wonderful collection of papers came out in the summer. Thanks @joseacanada.bsky.social and Salla Sariola for doing this together

Brilliant answer 👏

Another reason to add to the list of why proton is a good alternative right now to US-based tech companies for e-mail, calendar, etc - They do not harvest your data - Its paid tier is affordable and worth the money - It's not under US influence - Some of your money will be used for worthy causes

I'll never forgive generative a.i Having to ask "is this real?" so often has really done a number on me I miss being able to trust art.

He visto llamar a la IA gen "amianto digital". Como el amianto, parecía útil y lo metieron en todas partes, hasta que se comprobó que envenena todo lo que toca... y eliminarlo es tan complicado y caro que costará más que el supuesto ahorro que prometía. Limpiar el fango IA de la red va a ser jodido.

This happening next year!

Academics! Sign the Uppsala declaration of conscientious objection. More than 3000 signatures, organizers are trying to reach 10000 before the next European Commission meeting: No academia as usual during Israeli occupation, apartheid and genocide in Palestine. uppsaladeclaration.se/europe/#stat...

Los grandes medios españoles, de radio, televisión y prensa, están muy preocupados por las #FakeNews tras dos años llamando «conflicto» al asesinato indiscriminado de inocentes. Solo cuando han visto que la población está mejor informada que ellos se han decidido a decir #Genocidio Son lamentables.

He eliminat comptes de meta a Facebook i Instagram, WhatsApp encara no impossible. Molt trist renunciar a tants records i converses en aquestes plataformes, però ja tocava. La majoria d'amigues encara no són aquí, però ho havia de dir en algun lloc. Pensant també en substack. Algú ho fa servir?

I just deleted my meta account for facebook and instagram (whatsapp not doable yet). Sad to give up on so many memories, conversations in those platforms, buy it was long due. Most friends are not here yet, but had to mention it somewhere. Thinking about turning to substack too. Any experiences?

“Gaza arde”, dijo un ministro israelí. Un informe para la ONU concluye que Israel ha cometido al menos 4 de los 5 actos que definen el crimen de genocidio. El exterminio ya no es hipótesis: está ocurriendo. Lo cuenta @gorkacastillo.bsky.social

It may not be a good technical argument, but 🫐 is an excellent example to discuss the other tiny #AI issues: constant errors, the tricks to get you engaged anyway, monopolies, excessive data extraction, energy excess, poor products sold to management that users dislike, basically the con itself.

The Center for the sociology of innovation learned with great sadness that Michel Callon has passed away. A graduate of the École des Mines, Michel joined the center in the late 1960s and was its director from 1982 to 1994.

I honestly can’t believe there are still any AI skeptics out there. This tech is obviously revolutionary

I have seen teams of PhD level experts fail at almost everything imaginable, including, but not limited to: agreeing on a place to have lunch, making coffee and finding a bus stop. And I have been on all those teams.
