"AI and the Digital: The AI Con"
Emily Bender and Alex Hanna with Audrey Borowski
Does AI hype help the rich get richer by justifying data theft, motivating surveillance capitalism and devaluing human creativity?

this is so, so true. I travelled in Lenapehoking (with full awareness of its history) in 2023, but both there and in other places I walk/hike, this is evident. It's not the American hiking culture only (or per se), of course - it's white people's hiking culture. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This archive is produced by a group of academics to honor and commemorate these lives and those of the many other teachers and researchers in higher education murdered in Gaza during the genocide perpetrated by Israel and its patrons, especially the United States. They were members of the global intellectual community, and we are all impoverished by the loss of their contributions that would have enriched the worlds of the humanities and sciences. The liquidation of these colleagues squandered the many years of higher education and training they embodied, often acquired with great personal and collective effort. The death of so many of our colleagues is a massive blow to higher education in Palestine: they were the teachers of the rising generation who were to take their places as the writers, theologians, social scientists, engineers, and doctors who would help to weave the social fabric and develop the world of knowledge in Palestine. We record their lives in a spirit of grief for their loss and admiration for their accomplishments and to demand that their killers face accountability for their crimes.
REMEMBERING GAZA SCHOLARS A group of academics have spent the past 18 months creating an archive that commemorates the lives of Palestinian scholars killed by Israel. 83 of our colleagues, so far, have bios; the group's work continues rememberinggazascholars.org
I had a similar one, except I was the one getting lost, then discovered I wasn't examining but being examined. The examiners were teachers from the Italian 'maturità'. The horrors. The fear.
So in this essay on 'after Gaza', Franco 'Bifo' Berardi describes Hamas' actions on 7 Oct as 'a pogrom, similar to those that the Jewish people have suffered over the centuries in many European countries...'
Philosophies of the South - a platform for scholars, thinkers, activists, and practitioners engaging with intellectual traditions and critical frameworks that challenge the dominance of Western philosophical paradigms. Bringing together work inspired by critical traditions, the series explores how philosophy can be reimagined through perspectives that emerge from histories of colonialism, resistance, and alternative ways of knowing. Through conversations across disciplines and practices, the series aims to foster intellectual exchange, expand philosophical inquiry, and contribute to ongoing struggles for epistemic justice.

Wednesday, March 18, 2026 — An Israeli airstrike struck an apartment building in Bachoura, central Beirut.
The Israeli army had warned residents in the building to evacuate about an hour before completely flattening it early in the morning.

My flat’s a few mins’ walk away and sounds of trains rolling into Glasgow Central come every few minutes. Today their absence I am noticing repeatedly. I can’t yet face walking to see the burnt building. One burnt building; no injuries. Elsewhere US and Israel pound urban landscapes to oblivion
