🔴| Lázaro Mendoza, defensor de la región lacustre de Michoacán, desapareció el pasado 14 de abril.Ayer se confirmó que un cuerpo hallado en una camioneta calcinada era el suyo.
Es el segundo defensor asesinado en Michoacán en menos de una semana.
lo único que me da orgullo de estar en esta institución es este regalito de orozco 💀 lo peligroso es que no solo se me sale el nacionalismo reprimido sino hasta mi genealogía zapotlense
when i’m fed up with academic bs (which is pretty often) i go there to remind myself that making an institution “better” is not worth my energy 😇
only orozco‘s birth to dead knowledge brings me life in this institution
On AI and 'epistemological pollution'.
"...these zombie references call into question the accuracy of the papers that cite them."
➡️ Don't cite anything you haven't read. ✅️
But: structural inequalities shape vulnerability to AI slop.
❓️How do we (the 'research community') address those inequalities?

I have a small collection of snapshots from 1980s Artifical Intelligence books, and guess what:
[Automating the Synthesis of Expertise (1984), from the book "Machine Intelligence", second edition]
we are looking for critical and creative approaches that go beyond the common critiques against either Marxism or ANT (and similar STS approaches) to discuss power and politics grouded on material conditions
If you are interested in thinking (broadly) about the intersections (and disconnections) between STS and Marxists traditions to theorize technopower, please consider submitting an abstract to our panel for the @4sweb.bsky.social annual meeting in Toronto!!

pues no sé, pero me suena a que encontré título para una cosa que quiero hacer, y que estaría bueno una mini investigación de eso. porque lo dicen hasta en seminarios donde tallearemaos textos academicos! es entre quedabien y demarcar que casi cualquier cosa que uno dice es "intimo" o vulnerable
wow. pero como es que se convirtió en algo que te dicen en todos lados y por decir la cosa mas equis del mundo. interesante
how it's going
where does the practice of saying "thank you for sharing" comes from in the US?
honestly is one of my cultural shocks, and i cannot explain why but it bothers me, it's cringy
A top university in Iran was bombed earlier today. The university "housed a Department of Philosophy of Science, an extraordinary effort to [build a] bridge between philosophy, science, and technology"
for reference, i have not found duckduckgo results very effective either
what search engines do people use? I want to stop using google and is not even for the politics, but just very bad searching results. is starting to feel a little bit like when twitter became boring.
it's been ten years since this text and i'm shocked how the so-called "left" (within its wide spectrum) still cannot see this. and i think of this not only in terms of the US but also all the USain "leftist" fantasies around mexico as an utopia
i might not agree with everything david graeber said - but this is spot on!
"Women adopt AI at rates 25% lower than men.
This isn’t a guess. It’s the finding of a Harvard Business School meta-analysis examining eighteen studies, over 140,000 participants, across multiple countries."

Here's a sad thought: Mexican local media were the ones providing the public with crucial information on Mencho's death and the resulting violence, while artificial intelligence generated uncertainty and panic via false images and information.
But the money is going to AI, not local journalism.
cómo le explico a los gringos el concepto de "facturar" si acá los recibos sirven para sus taxes aghhh
Animal studies scholar here. Any time a technology is advertised as only being used on animals, it will soon be used on humans. Thank you for your time.
traducir mis "datos" me mata. hoy descubrí que (por lo menos para mí) usar "would" no transmite lo mismo que conjugar un verbo en pospretérito. siento que se le escapa una ambiguedad
although- poor parasites. they are just being themselves. and i guess it is politically important to differentiate between the capitalist delusion and the concrete material conditions 🤠
and some people still think it’s an exageration to analytically compare capitalism and ai with parasites
Epstein to Goertzel: "please send details i will send 50k monday" Goertzel to Epstein: "many many thanks! ... You won't regret it ;) The AI we build will thank you one day!"
Geortzel asks for more after Epstein is out of prison. Epstein says he will send another 50k
Goertzel to Epstein: "You won't regret it ;) The AI we build will thank you one day!"
mi antrop de cabecera despues de trouillot, bill roseberry con el mejor titulazo: "The Unbearable Lightness of Anthropology"
(quizas ya no le dicen "crisis de representacion" pero definitivamente hay un zombie en el giro multiespecie-vibes de la antropologia)
the fact that this was written 30 years ago only confirms the eternal return forever and ever, now and in the next life
faculty are so lost about how to advice about non-academic labor markets that one very well intentioned faculty suggested we could become best seller authors as an "alternative" career 🤣🤣🤣
