FoolishOwl's Bio
'In the end, however, we must escape from the debris with whatever booty we can rescue, and recast our technics entirely in the light of an ecological ethics whose concept of "good" takes its point of departure from our concepts of diversity, wholeness, and a nature rendered selfconscious -- an ethics whose "evil" is rooted in homogeneity, hierarchy, and a society whose sensibilities have been deadened beyond resurrection.'
The Ecology of Freedom, Murray Bookchin

In response to this postI've started reading Resisting AI. It's not a very long book, and quite clear and readable.
McQuillan links AI, that is, machine learning, to fascism, by describing fascism as palingenetic ultranationalism as an elite response to crisis. Palingentic ultranationalism is the fantasy of restoring an imaginary past national glory through purification, which is all too familiar for those of us in the US and UK, certainly. So AI systems are used to reinforce existing systems of bigotry.

In response to this postmark et al aren't actually that great
@jasmine It's always been painful to work in IT, with the overwhelming preponderance of men. There's the obvious social justice issue, and then there's the simple fact I like women and like being around women. In my current job, it's almost all men, and even on my commute for some reason most of the passengers on the train are men. It's almost surreal.

Just picked up a book, through Interlibrary Loan.
Resisting AI: An Anti-Fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence, by Dan McQuillan
The title should make it obvious why I want to read it.
