@asrg Even if I laugh about the very ironic title (they clearly write that #AI is *no* existence or #intelligence that could die), this #zine is a good compilation for critical questions to ask and for thinking about #AIEthics and rules. A first starter for #activism.

My paper "Digital Resistance Against the Lasting Manipulation of Capitalism: AI, Luddite Rebellion, and the Haunted Future of Cyberpunk" has just been published. You can read it for free here: http://www.digitcult.it/index.php/dc/article/view/285 #AI #Luddites #nostalgia #hauntology #cyberpunk

🚫 🛠️ We are disapointed to report that an application for the role of "Digital Artist in Residence" at University College Cork (UCC) submitted by The Institute earlier this year has not been successful.

The project was titled "The Luddite Academy" and proposed to bring the current resurgence of luddite theory and praxis to bear on the university's digital arts and humanities departments.

We proposed to 1) Audit the university's dependence on Big Tech 2) Experiment with alternatives with students and staff, including but not limited to hosting our own (experimental) digital services and 3) Document everything so that it could outlive the residency.

While this particular application failed we will endeavour to find another home for this work in 2026.

Diagram summarising all the aspects of the project proposal. the left side has the students, staff, and University College Cork, the right side is the Luddite academy. Both have arrows pointing to a middle column where they meet around the tree main activities of the project: Audit (interviews, office hours, reports/maps), Experiment (online prototypes, workshops), and Document (curated resources, publishing platform). The arrows coming out of the luddite academy towards these activities are labelled with the modes of action of the academy: produce artwork, curate, produce tools/code, teach, publish/host

Highly recommended read!

'The Colonization of Confidence' by Robert Kingett aka @WeirdWriter

His prose reminds me a bit of Robin Sloan. The story(?) is about the impact of (gen)AI on the creativity & confidence of writers. I won't describe it further, because you really should read it yourself.

Just know that it will make you more energized to start or keep working towards a different world...
