contro la tesi della dipendenza da social media, ho scritto questo articolo per Doppiozero, in cui provo a dimostrare perché, dopo la sentenza del tribunale di LA contro META e Google stiamo combattendo la battaglia sbagliata contro Big Tech www.doppiozero.com/bigh-tech-di...

Gee, Open Institute of Technology was going to force me to use TurnItIn on student assignments, and I had to quit. Spread the word: OPIT is scum. medium.com/@kim_crawley... And ko-fi.com/kimatstopgenai

Anthropic is using copyright claims to try to stop its leaked code being used to train rival AI models. Critics are noticing something of an irony, given Anthropic use of pirated materials to train its models. I've dug into the whole thing for @techpolicypress.bsky.social

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Looking for alternatives to Gmail and G-Drive? Two years ago I switched to #Posteo for emails and to @nextcloud.bsky.social for personal online storage (via #Hetzner). It costs me the equivalent of a good flat white per month & gives me peace of mind that my personal data isn't scraped or abused.

The role of #GenAI in children’s development is ambivalent, and their opportunities (scaffolding learning) can easily turn into harmful consequences (deskilling and disempowerment). Read more here researchonline.lse.ac.uk/id/eprint/13... #SaferInternetDay

Perché 11 plugin di Claude hanno fatto crollare le azioni IT (soprattutto in India) e perché l’apocalisse del lavoro ventilata dallo stesso CEO di Anthropic potrebbe essere iniziata – e a pagare il conto saranno soprattutto i lavoratori junior www.wired.it/article/clau...

Absolutely damning from @aaronschaffer.com, @willoremus.com, & @nitasha.bsky.social. To get more data, Anthropic: * "destructively scanned" millions of books * downloaded the shadow library LibGen * hailed another shadow library's arrival as "just in time!!!" www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

@emilianotrere.com @tbonini.bsky.social I really enjoyed your book and have it on my syllabus. Thanks for your work. I wrote a review of it for Critical AI: read.dukeupress.edu/critical-ai/...

Given what is happening with X, it's a good time to propose for anyone interested to read the "Algorithms of Resistance" by T. Bonini & E. Trere. It offers ways to challenge the logic of the platform, and there is a lot of research backing up the arguments of the book. It's open access too!

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

"AI it’s not going to replace everyone. But if we think about AI, language models are the industrial production of language. It’s the same way that the factories in the 1800s were the industrial production of cloth. And I think we get a much clearer picture of what is going on." (Hagen Blix)

This year’s Nancy Baym Book Award committee would also like to give an Honourable Mention to @tbonini.bsky.social and @emilianotrere.com for Algorithms of Resistance: The Everyday Fight Against Platform Power (@mitpress.bsky.social). Congratulations also!

Next week I'll be in Oxford for this workshop on Global Southing Internet, Data, and AI studies. I'll talk about Platform Dependency, how platform studies are overlooking dependency theories and the importance of Latin American dependency theories www.oii.ox.ac.uk/news-events/...

Columbia Journalism Review tested eight generative AI search tools and found their answers were wrong 60% of the time, and the paid ones actually fared worse than the free ones. Meanwhile, millions of people trust the way they present total bullshit with confident language.

"‘They know what you are working on, they know what you are submitting, they know the results of your peer reviews... They control every part of the process + register every action you take... When Eiko Fried.. asked Elsevier for his personal data[,] he received [100s of K's] of data points..."

Lets replace search with "AI" then! Totally logical if you ask me. Even more worth it when you know they're exponentially overtaking the airline industry in their carbon footprint. Study: www.cjr.org/tow_center/w...

Fascism: “Columbia University recently set up an office that is secretly investigating its students for political statements about Israel, Drop Site News reported this week, and is requiring students to sign non-disclosure agreements to view the evidence being brought against them.”

Sorry, Jonathan Haidt. Abstaining from social media does not contribute to well being. Study after study has shown this. But people still believe the myth. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

TechCrunch writes that OpenAI will charge $20,000 a month for access to an AI agent that can do “PhD level research”. Maybe all the PhDs and postdocs recently fired by DOGE should band together and sell their services as “AI agents” - apparently some people will pay more for robots than people.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

"AI technology appears to outperform humans. But a closer look reveals that these games are rigged. The competitions do not actually ask machines to perform human tasks; it’s more accurate to say that they ask humans to behave in machine-like ways as they perform lifeless simulacra of human tasks."
