In recent days, I’ve observed and talked to some people.

Some responses made me reflect: "I tried Mastodon, but I didn’t know whom to follow. No system gave me targeted suggestions, and I felt lost and abandoned it."

"Purchases? Mostly online. Sometimes I don’t know what to buy, and targeted advertising suggestions help me."

"I get my information online, especially from social media. I receive all the news that interests me, while official sites are full of things I have no interest in."

One of the problems in today’s society is that people, bombarded by the sheer amount of information available, feel lost. Algorithms help them choose, decide, and orient themselves, but the issue is that if these algorithms are not calibrated positively but solely in an interested manner, the result is to produce individuals incapable of making informed decisions, conditioned exclusively by what is suggested, stated, and amplified.

It’s as if, after years of guided information, many people believe they are always right (the "famous" bubble), feel entitled to everything (advertisements), and perceive the world as hostile (conspiracy theories, etc.).

Artificial intelligence has now become another example of this system: I know people who can no longer do anything without it. They try to impose me (incorrect) IT sysadmin solutions me because "the AI said so."

At this rate, I fear the most atrophied part of our body will be our brains.

Yesterday I made a HN account so I can comment on posts but I'm not telling you who I am because pseudonymity/anonymity is important and we don't always need or want full identity disclosure in order to take part in conversation online. Being anonymous is not synonymous with being an unpleasant w*nker to other people. It is a right of privacy on the Internet.

Born on this day. Otto Dix, 2 December 1891, one of the most important painters of Expressionism and New Objectivity in Germany during and after the Weimar Republic.

The question to ask is, if he was around today would he be happy for his work to be used in genart training sets? Would he be using DALLE 3? If he was a musician, would he put his tracks on Spotify? Do you think his searing scorched earth anti war anti corruption anti fascism messages would go across well on those platforms? Do you think he'd tweet some of his paintings? Would he have a big following on Instagram?

Does the communication medium impact the quality of the message? Do we trivialise everything through the extractive capitalism of our digital platforms?

This is the first journalistic article I am in that does not focus on my work or expertise, but on … me 😬

It’s a strange, strange sensation 🫣. But it’s in the service of promoting the new unique interdisciplinary Master minor programme “Digital Society” of the @unifr, which I coordinate.

(The article is in French. English tl;dr: new #DigitalSociety Master = epitome of my career and research interests.)

#introduction
My first in-person #AoIR was in 2015 and I identify as an Internet Researcher ever since.

I am a Senior Researcher & Lecturer at the interdisciplinary Human-IST institute (@unifr), coordinating the new Master in #DigitalSociety, and a Senior Researcher in the #ShapingAI project at the HIIG Berlin. In addition, I am the President of the Swiss Federal Media Commission #EMEKCOFEM.

My research interests are, broadly speaking #STS, #DigitalSociology, #AIgovernance + #AIethics.

Dr. M. Birna van Riemsdijk

Hello all! Here is my #introduction for the new instance #AkademieNL! I’m a computer scientist at #UTwente, working at the intersection of logic-based #AI, human-computer interaction #HCI, and #philosophy/#ethics.

We develop models and methods for creating intimate technologies that can take into account personal norms, values and #vulnerabilities, towards a caring and inspiring #DigitalSociety. Inspired by smart #textiles, #wearables, #art, #dance, embodiment. Experiencing #disability.
