Wildly different things, tasks, techniques, subspecialties being lumped into "AI" and then being conflated with each other, doesn't help. Different types of models vs the techniques to train them vs the tasks they are supposed to accomplish, all under "AI".

Yesterday, the AI Plan was published in the Netherlands, primarily from a corporate perspective. I want to propose a critical alternative, it is yet again a technology push without including the perspective of society at large. It does not include any critical AI literature and practice

My mantra: If young people organise themselves, if they take hold of every branch of knowledge and fight alongside workers and the oppressed, there will be no escape for an old order based on privilege and injustice. Instead here we contest the wish of more plurality in academia. 🤡

Very happy to announce the new Anthology for Computers and the Humanities! 🎉 Inspired by the wonderful ACL Anthology, this is an open, accessible, centralized repository for papers at different workshops, conferences, and related venues. All thanks to @taylor-arnold.bsky.social!

indeed “prompting is a poor user interface for generative AI systems, which should be phased out as quickly as possible.” Meredith Ringel Morris

Should researchers refuse and join the resistance? as a computer vision researcher would you like to contribute to authoritarian practices? This is something I am going to research soon.

Fauxautimation creates menial jobs that are poorly paid to maintain the illusion of a robot’s autonomy. Robot wrangling is much more common than we think, yet it’s a covert operation. We need to rethink automation and unveil the wizard of Oz.

"If you access the public’s savings at scale, you should meet the public’s disclosure standards." ... seems like a good principle to minimize harmful bubbles www.techpolicy.press/ai-isnt-a-su...

If AI is going to be governed as a market technology, it must be brought into the market’s accountability machinery, write Dr. Ilan Strauss and Tim O'Reilly.

I was in Dutch national television @rtl.nl to talk about robot hype and how we shall resist and develop technology in solidarity with workers. This was in response of a new Boston Dynamics robot for post delivery with the dutch provider @postnl.bsky.social which I invite to reach out to think along🙏

this is brilliant work by the folks @dairinstitute.bsky.social I would love to chat with colleagues working on similar research in the EU! I am working on a repository of resistance tactics against the “future of work” with AI 🙏

"The problem with AI isn't that it can do your job. It can't. The problem with AI is that your MBA-brained boss's boss doesn't know how your job works and thinks AI can do your job at fractions of a penny on the dollar, and hears the siren song of 'maximize shareholder value'." MBA-brain is real.

a couple of hours before my keynote, I went through an intense negotiation with the organisers (for over a hour) where we went through my slides and had to remove anything that mentions 'Palestine' 'Israel' and replace 'genocide' with 'war crimes' 1/
