Collapsology. Politische Bildung in der Post-Apokalypse. Am looking forward to reading this book.

Now DeepL removed the critique of capitalism. For the record, I'm only wanting commas and der/die/das/des/dem corrections.

Screenshot of DeepL. On the right, my German: "Drittens bedarf es weitere vertiefte empirischen Analysen nicht nur zum Einsatz, zu den Inhalten und zu den Eigentumsverhältnissen digitaler Medien, sondern auch zu den anscheinend unscheinbaren Aspekten der heutigen technischen Infrastruktur". On the right, corrections, without the part about ownership structures of digital tech: "Drittens sind weitere vertiefte empirische Analysen erforderlich – nicht nur zum Einsatz und zu den Inhalten digitaler Medien, sondern auch zu den auf den ersten Blick unscheinbaren Aspekten der heutigen technischen Infrastruktur."

Since when does DeepL extend one's range of political theorists? Also: gender bias, anyone? And it isn't James, it's William. And and and I only have 12,000 characters for this article, so there's a reason for omitting first names.

A screenshot of DeepL. On the left, my dodgy German: "Diese Arbeiten sind an den Demokratietheorien von u.a. Mouffe, Connolly und Laclau orientiert, mit der Annahme, demokratische Diskussionen geschehen immer innerhalb Machtverhältnisse, und Konflikte, Antagonismen, Agonismen gehören zur Demokratie", On the right, the DeepL correction: "Diese Arbeiten orientieren sich an den Demokratietheorien von u. a. Chantal Mouffe, Étienne Balibar, Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri, James Connolly und Ernesto Laclau. Sie gehen davon aus, dass demokratische Diskussionen immer innerhalb von Machtverhältnissen stattfinden und dass Konflikte, Antagonismen und Agonismen zur Demokratie gehören."

While we're all talking about how "AI" increases efficiency, has anyone tallied up all the lost seconds, minutes and hours to waiting at pages like this, caused directly by "AI"?

"Milliardäre oder toxische Algorithmen zu regulieren ist harte Arbeit, also regulieren wir lieber die Kinder und Jugendlichen." Auch Deutschland diskutiert ein Verbot sozialer Medien für unter 16- oder unter 14-Jährige - auch wenn man explizit sagt, es sei kein […] [Original post on social.coop]

@juliane Anja Roß just showed me this note to "uncertainty" on the final page ofJulia Stoyanovich and Falaah Arif Khan's “Learning from Data”. We are AI Comics, Vol 2 (2021) dataresponsibly.github.io/we-are-ai…

A cartoon in strong colours (orange, yellow, pink), whosing a room, with some people at computers. Text at the top: "importantly, even with all ths adfditional sophistication, it is still unlikely that we'll see perfect accuracy". Text at the bottom: "One of the reasons for this is that there is uncertainty in the world."
