This book links dating apps to AI and Data colonialism, arguing through interviews and cultural analysis that we are all becoming ghosts in the machines governing our everyday lives. It's great. And I wrote it. Available anywhere you download your books.

There's a tension b/w the claim that AI systems are being built on data extracted from the Global South and the claim that the Global South data is not being represented in the training data of AI systems.
Yet, many advocates freely switch b/w both.

There's an broadly-shared assumption that "data" is being extracted from the "Global South" whereas "value" is accruing to the "Global North". I don't think this is apparent, and I'm not sure it is true either.

I had this conversation almost one year ago. Sadly things are just worse now.
#DataGrab a great book by @couldrynick and Ulises Mejias , that should should definitely read. #DataColonialism

The goal is an Ontopolitics of Non-Closure. To resist the colonization of time is to insist that the future is not a data point to be predicted, but a possibility to be lived

AI isn’t floating in the cloud — it’s being poured into concrete. Stargate’s $15B Wisconsin campus shows how power, energy, and compute are being centralized under the banner of “innovation.” #AIPolitics #DataColonialism

Asimov called it Multivac. Nault called it RePHleX. In Omniscient, it’s just ‘the System.’
Whatever you call it, the data the U.S. now wants from everyone who crosses its borders is perfect feedstock for an all-seeing, all-knowing AI

Free tech in a crisis isn’t generosity—it’s a Trojan horse.
Now Palantir runs the NHS backend, police intel, and more.

Çevresel veri üretimi, sadece bilimsel değil; aynı zamanda sınıfsal, mekânsal ve siyasal bir meseledir.
Biomass, doğayı gözlemlerken, aynı zamanda bilgiye dayalı bir egemenlik biçimi de yaratıyor olabilir.

BBC Mundo article (in Spanish) about Latam-GPT, a Latin American open GenAI project. I am interviewed in the piece, providing a critical response. IMO, projects like this don't do enough to challenge the extractivist and capitalist premises of GenAI. www.bbc.com/mundo/articl... #DataColonialism
The lecture series will feature talks by @gavinmueller.bsky.social, @jenmadelene.bsky.social, @menkman.bsky.social, David Gauthier, @ulises-mejias.bsky.social, Alina Gombert, Sara Morais dos Santos Bruss, and @danmcquillan.bsky.social
