Episode 2: "Sociotechnical Imaginaries and Atomic Histories" is up! Can't believe the range of topics and concepts we touched on. It was a whirlwind prepping for this episode because I couldn't believe just how much we touched on in class.

Unity CEO John Riccitiello was EA CEO when FIFA 09 launched with loot boxes. Last year he said devs making games without monetization in mind are “fucking idiots.” In an EA stockholder meeting he entertained the idea of charging $1 to reload an ammo clip in Battlefield.

This is actually a good example of what AI systems like ChatGPT excel at—giving managers and administrators the ability to automate top-down, controversial and harmful decision-making while shielding themselves from accountability. A sort of authoritarianism accelerator
Administrators asked ChatGPT the specific language of Iowa’s new law, “Does [book] contain a description or depiction of a sex act?”
If ChatGPT said yes, the book was removed from the library.

Zoom updated its Terms of Service to permit training AI on user content without opt-out, a thread 🧵
Been moving away from this site for a long time, but it is hard to predict when your neurons are ready to fire in a new way. Recent rebranding of this platform is helping to provide me a push to actually deleting this account. It's hard to let go of something so old, though.

I made a new zine all about how ICT climate politics look productively different if we focus less on green consumer behaviours and more on opposing infrastructure expansions.
It's quite fun, and written with a non-academic audience in mind!

ALT A zine cover with text overtop of a dark blue photo of a data center, shot from the air. The text reads: Getting Into Fights With Data Centres: Or, A Modest Proposal for Reframing the Climate Politics of ICT. Additionally: How to use ping and traceroute to find the location of data centers, and how to look for DRAMA, CONFLICT, and OPPORTUNITIES TO ORGANIZE WITH OTHERS wherever you find them.

I still need $370 for my July 1st rent.
If I can pay it by Monday, I won’t end up with a gigantic fee.
Please, please help me. I don’t get paid until the 15th and the fees will mean I can’t pay for food or meds.
Please RT

PSA for trans people in Kansas, Montana, Tennessee.
Get your drivers license and birth certificate changed ASAP.
And order MANY copies of your birth certificate, as they will not confiscate those.
Kansas intends to roll back legal gender changes, even if you already did it.

good: lots of plague supplies are on steep sale rn
bad: it's because companies are slowing production and liquidating stock now that public masking rates are low, and the medical mask mandates which have been a large sector are disappearing
here's a few sales for your despair!
