Gabriel is actually the perfect super-cute non-binary science-communicator (laden with tales of bone-chilling dystopic horror) for Halloween.

"Here we use a range of reporter proteins to demonstrate that their with duplicated domains produce YES gate protein switches with large (up to 9,000-fold) dynamic ranges and fast (minutes) response rates. In such switches, the interactions between largely independent synthetic sites result in an OFF state with minimal background noise."

Asking “should we de-bias” or “how do we de-bias” presumes that the problem is bias: that AI is needed in a domain, but simply needs some technical tweaks.

Digitalization, moreover, aggravated the positions of users: on the one hand, algorithmic “black box” made users powerless in terms of technical knowledge; on the other hand, every new (kind of) user became a sort of quality assurance acting secretly both for developers and users themselves.

I already talked a few weeks ago about a #startup that wanted to predict #autism through #voice (all based on very shaky scientific publications)

Well, yesterday they went a step further in European #DataColonialism and signed an agreement with the autism society of #Peru.

These agreements are disgusting. Not only is it about getting data in a simpler way than in Europe, but it is also done with a fictitious scientific background.

More and more are aware that data are manipulated, fuelled by subliminal behavioural interventions and filtered through algorithms.

When working with models, the emphasis is usually on the model-as-object, like an oracle to ask questions. It might be better to focus on model-as-process.

Our new special report presents the results of a bioethical investigation into chimeric research, which involves the insertion of human cells into nonhuman animals. Rapid scientific developments in this field could lead to new therapies for humans. They also reveal the limitations of existing ethics guidance for human-nonhuman chimeric research. With researchers from Case Western. Funded by NIH. #ethics #chimeric #research #bioethics #stemcells #animalresearch #chimeras

Human chimeras (where multiple fertilized eggs merge into one) may be more common than previously thought, DNA testing suggests. grid.news/story/science/2022/1 #chimeras

posthuman folklore should be seen as part of the zeitgeist of the Anthropocene.

The idea of listening to other voices, both non-human living forms and non-living artificial forms, are increasingly viewed as a fundamentally necessary step to create a sustainable earth.

BINGO!

Posthuman Folklore is the theoretical perspective that folklore —defined here as socially shared aesthetic traditions— are not unique to humans.

The possibility of connecting to machinic perception through the consciousness-informing structures of language implies that these engagements can have profound effects on our understanding of reality.

Good, coz carrying a physical book around is cumbersome. Reading, yeah, it's better. but carrying it, nope.

This standardization and reduction of all knowledge to calculation of profit for platform capitalism threatens the diversity of reason intended as the condition for any neganthropological bifurcation, namely the deviation from the Anthropocene.

With platform capitalism's accelerated alignment between exosomatic and exomnesic technologies, reason is reduced to calculation (of utility, value, advantage); logos is reduced to ratio.
