One more link: where I discovered the term conviviality was a video from andrewism "we need to be more tech critical": https://youtu.be/lV6JzroVr48
"Understanding Power", p260 he talks of luddites specifically. And p258 "Automation" section is where he gets into "automated numerical control" and how it reflects a certain power structure.
Something people need to understand is that technology is not a linear progression. We decide not only how it is used and for what purpose, but the actual thing itself. The technology itself can be thought in terms of conviviality, ie how adaptive it is to human intent. Chomsky points to CNC machines; how when they were developed they were done so with top down control in mind. Contrast that with how 3D printers have a trend of supporting more autonomy on the shop floor (print from computer over wifi or plug in a USB stick). While CNC machines of old have practically no thought for such things beyond safety and accuracy.
There are going to be two kinds of people: those who see value in AI and will pay market rate, and those who see AI for what it is and can create new value outside of what AI can produce. And you seem to think artists are inclined to do the first over the latter? Only the ones to be forgotten by history think that way.
This fucker is getting ready to retire so he is getting ready to blame ethics standards for his leaving. This is to justify even more flagrant violations by his to be named successor.
There are plenty of checks... being written to members of the Supreme Court. Ba dum tss
Go ahead and defend the system but don't say the majority voted for this, because the rules expressly allow for minority rule.
Trump did not get the majority of votes and if the house was not gerrymandered there would be no GOP majority there as well.
It's a simple fact that people who don't understand context are easy to manipulate. And now it can be automated 🙃
in order to survive
No, this machine is not auto completing "to survive". It's reflecting back a story that's been told a million times on the internet and parroted by idiots that don't know the difference between auto complete and actual intelligence.
I think we need to add the words AI and robotics for it get funding. I'm thinking it could be fully automated and make margaritas.
"dangerous by default" because you are a man and just as disposable; ain't the patriarchy swell?
It's a perfect commodity, which means it's going to be worth the least out of anything out there.
You should know wage theft (business owners not paying their workers) is the largest form of theft. It's not enough to have a progressive wealth tax, we need a fully funded CFPB, aggressive anti-monopoly enforcement and full union representation to prevent someone with "good business acumen" to use their market dominance unfairly.
All those services are what Mr Money Bags wants privatized so they can profit from providing those services. That's why you hear this talk about social security - the incoming administration wants it privatized.
You're thinking like a human, the rich are thinking like a class above the rest of the humans. Yes it's dumb, but here we are cooking our planet at an ever increasing rate.
In b4 someone defends TYT: Cenk has basically said he is kissing ass because he thinks he can be strategic and talk them into populist economic positions. Problem is, the right uses him to say how the left has no good ideas.
If you're referring to the legacy media, Trump is targeting them with lawsuits and threatening to pull their broadcasting license.
If you're referring to internet media, like The Young Turks, then it has more to do with personalities not wanting to loose their relative privilege (access).
In my sect we believe in transubstantiation of the billionaire class into liquid carbon that gets pumped underground as the ultimate form of CCS (carbon rcapture?)
Edit: but the pamphlets could be all the anticapitalist verses in the Bible and Quran
