Dusted up the PhD hat to co-author a piece with @nsalem.bsky.social about everyone’s (least) favourite topic - #AI. First of (we don’t know how) many.
Follow her tech timescapes stack for more of her work too.

When the Napalm Girl photo showed a child fleeing napalm in Vietnam, it fueled outrage and changed history. Today, the world watches Palestinian children burn on live stream as Israel’s final solution unfolds in Gaza, yet the west remains silent, inept, and indifferent.

When talking about AI, we should resist the idea that the ‹I› stands for anything resembling human or animal ‹intelligence› – a concept btw historically deeply intertwined with eugenics & ‹scientific› racism. Rather, this ‹intelligence› seems to be the same as in the term ‹military intelligence›

Critical humanities discourse on AI will be doomed if it does not come up with better metaphors. Corporate AI is not a «cognitive entity» or some «other intelligence». It's a political project and a system of surveillance, extraction & exploitation
