"Tant qu’on ne comprend pas que la technique n’est jamais neutre, qu’elle n’est pas un outil-dont-il-nous-revient-de-trouver-de-bons-usages, on demeure dans une mauvaise foi insupportable qui ne mérite pas que quiconque nous accorde le temps d’une énième démonstration – de même que les féministes ont mieux à faire que de la pédagogie auprès des hommes"

As long as we believe in their #stories, in their tale of an #ai #tech #future, as long as we follow their #cybernetic lead, we will go down with them when the planet collapses or in some camps

Whenever we start believing in our own strength & in our own power, we are free of them

There are enough friendly #narratives

There is enough for everyone on this planet

If we listen to each other & share

#peterthiel , #trump , e.g. build their #power on our weakness & fears

One of the things that people really don't understand is how #cybernetic relationships work, which is why anyone argues over the phrase "guns don't kill people".

Creating art through #StableDiffusion is exploring a high dimensional vector space for a vector that is close to what's desired.

This is also how "custom perfume" is made. Single notes are mixed in different proportions. The dimensions is equal to the number of single notes, and each index is set to the desired ratio.

Perfuming, even with a limited set of single notes is art. #AIArt isn't actually different.

But the #AI isn't making art. AI is _incapable_ of making art. The reason you can, effectively, always tell that AI art is made by AI is because it doesn't assign any meaning to any of the objects in the scene. It doesn't understand them.

What we do find is that most AI Art is just bad art. It's derivative, boring, and largely hallow.

But consider what Gucci did for their ad. They:
1. Took actual photos with a model
2. Used the photos as the baseline for the AI Art.
3. Did post production in photoshop.

Now, there's a ton of reasons to find this concerning and not like it; there's a ton of reasons to dislike "AI Art" generators. However, it's flatly absurd to say that the outcome of that didn't come through an artistic process.

Okay, so what does this have to do with cybernetic relationships?

(1/3) What do #reflexive practices look like on #cybernetic fieldwork?

For our research team, we use a combination of #embodied methods and second-order #cybernetics to inspire fresh perspectives on historical #technologies, the natural #environment, and past identities in #Australia ☀️🤖💡 We “explore the emotions, sensations, and lived experiences of us as researchers and the researched (telegraph workers, surveyors, repeater stations, railway lines etc.).”

But how do we do this? …⬇️⬇️

Two hand drawn maps of the overland telegraph line through Australia. The bottom one is a sketch of gibber plains with key sites such as Coober Pedy, Oodnadatta, and Strangways Springs. The top one is a map with prose “we joke about songs we will write, the ballads of dirt and dynamite, over the crackle of walkie talkies. We follow the lines on the map and off the map again, chasing shadows of the nineteenth century and men we can never meet, even though we talk about them like admired friends and bosses we never had. We wash red earth off our hands and faces everyday, and everyday there is more. We see the signs everywhere - poles, insulators, track, tree stumps - as we call the names down the wire - beltana, strangways, the Peake. We call other names too - Araban, Arrernte, Adamanye. We are connected through this country, those lines, these stories, that time.”

I want to write in a paper that permacomputing enthusiasts dream of cybernetic meadows. I know is this is just crossing the streams for the sake of literary allusion, but is there anything that cites Brautigan as inspo?

To extract isolated thoughts as both perfect and imperfect voices. And they connect the dots depending on...

To produce fake conversations, fake recordings, fake interviews, fake interrogations, fake confessions.

#technology becomes infrastructure when it's widespread enough for most people to rely on it.

But at the beginning it's just a new technology that very few people can access, build and use.

Also, not every political technology becomes infrastructure: can we really define gunpowder as "infrastructure"? The atomic bomb?

The problem in our #cybernetic age is that a group of very few rich keeps control of the technology used by million of people, giving them an enormous, unmatched and unprecedented power. A power that neither people nor academic really understand so that it stays unbalanced.

The still very cool 'Cybernetic' zine from 1986, with the slogan "Cybernetic, the magazine: your mind will never be the same". A thread through this issue seems to be the violence inflicted on society by the application of certain types of reason.

#cybernetic #cybernetics #secondOrderCybernetics

A hand holds a copy of the 'Cybernetic' magazine, Volume 2, Number 1, 1986, entitled 'Social Violence'. The black and white cover shows what looks like a photocopied photograph of a helicopter that crashed into a publicity sign of some sort.

The very cool 'Cybernetic" zine from 1985, with Pask, Maturana, von Foerster and Winograd as the editorial board. (and yes, I know it is available online in a great scan).

#cybernetic #cybernetics #secondOrderCybernetics

A hand holding a copy of the "Volume 1, No. 1, Summer-Fall 1985" issue of the "Cybernetic" Zine. The cover is a recursive mise en abyme of hands holding the cover of a zine, with a picture of hands holding the cover of a zine, etc.

My great love has offered me the HEXEN 2.0 Tarot by Suzanne Triester which features 78 alchemical drawings that depict the interconnected histories of the computer and the Internet, cybernetics and the counterculture, science-fiction and scientific projections of the future, government and military research programmes, social engineering, and ideas of the control society.

#Tarot #Cybernetic

A vintage-style illustration, similar to a tarot card, depicts a cyberwar scene. In the center, a radiant sun emanates rays of light from a dark cavern surrounded by rocky peaks symbolizing different networks (terrorist, anonymous, criminal, etc.). Clouds with the words “InfoWar” and ‘NetWar’ frame the central image, above which the word “CyberWar” is placed. Labels describing various aspects of cyberwarfare are included, such as encrypted and unencrypted communications, malware, and types of actors involved. The title “Hexen 2.0 Tarot” and the name “suzannetreister” appear at the bottom.

#Cybernetic Teammates: How #AI Is Reshaping Our #Intelligence

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/urban-survival/202503/cybernetic-teammates-how-ai-is-reshaping-our-intelligence

Why people design a new #ProgrammingLanguage?

There are tons of good reasons of course. Some does that for fun or for curiosity, some for political or educational reasons, some to address shortcomings faced with existing one, either in specific use case or in general.

To me, at least at the conscious level, it's completely a political issue.

I see how programming is a new political force (so much that I actively used it to fight #BigTech in Italy) and I see how people who cannot read (aka #debug) or write (aka #programing), are doomed to becomes second class citizens in a #cybernetic society.

I don't want this to happen to my daughters, so I want to teach them how to program and debug.

BUT mainstream programming languages are weird, full of accidental complexity and with over-complicated semantics.

As a nerd who can programs in most of them, I tend to get fun in the abstractions and details of, say, a #Haskell or an homoiconic macro in a #Lisp.

But while they are fun to a person grown (and selected to fit) within such a primitive computing environment, they are inheritely excluding people who cannot spend decades to grasp their subtle intricacies.

And how you can teach such languages to kids?

Sure they can learn and understand any programming language construct way better of an average adult, but at a first glance all they will only see is glibberish!

And while some will be fascinated by such esoteric language that can be used to create games, worlds and agents that serve their will (just like I was when I was a kid), most will find that complicated and thus boring.

On the other hand a language that is explicit and with simple semantics (such as say #Oberon) will seem verbose and boring to a professional programmer.

I love the simple clarity of a #snake implementation like this https://github.com/tmartiro/voc-snake/blob/main/Snake.Mod whose complexity is almost just the complexity of the task at hand.

And while I see little improvements I could add to such language to further simplify it's syntax and semantics, when I try to do so, I end with something that is less readable than the original, despite syntax and semantics being simpler (as in less rules and no exceptions or incoherence).

It was pointed out by @anzu@items.minimals.org: while I want to make the language easy to read and simple to understand, I subconsciously try to address the issues I faced in my ~25 years as a polyglot programmer.
And apparently I can't resist such impulse, like if I cannot escape my experience.

It's sad.

It makes me think of how the phonetic alphabet was invented by people who cannot read or write but were exposed to hierogliphs, and think that creating a democratic programming language is beyond my ability because of how my mind has been blent from the existing one.
