Supplementary #2023_TheWizardOfAI https://alanwarburton.co.uk/thewizardofai #PhenomnVideoEssay by #IRLAnimatorAlanWarburton offers up a technological #TheoryInstrumentalism.ist view of generative AI framed according to an #MetaphorVersusUsThem logic. His #TheoryDeterminismFatalistic perspective describes the phenomenon in terms of a supposed 'wonder panic' (which appears to be simply a rebadging of the #NarrativeUtopianismTechnological concept), which he contrast with #TheoryAffectiveResponseNarrativeTechnophobia. #TheoryModernityLiquid #PleaAuthenticity #MetaphorVersusLegitimateIllegitimate #VlogAIInsightsExplorer (review of the above) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZxzradL_GY He makes mention of the concept of #TheoryImaginarySociotechnical i.e. "the 'technological imaginary' refers us to the way that new technologies are taken up within a culture and are hooked into, or have projected onto them" Martin Lister, Jon Dovey, Seth Giddings, Iain Grant, Kieran Kelly (2003).

Speaking at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the Pope made comments which experts said put an end to the 'pseudo theories' of creationism and intelligent design that some argue were encouraged by his predecessor, Benedict XVI. Francis explained that both scientific theories were not incompatible with the existence of a creator - arguing instead that they 'require it'. When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so,' Francis said. 'The Big Bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it. 'Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve.' The Catholic Church has long had a reputation for being anti-science - most famously when Galileo faced the inquisition and was forced to retract his 'heretic' theory that the Earth revolved around the Sun." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-declares-evolution-and-big-bang-theory-are-right-and-god-isn-t-a-magician-with-a-magic-wand-9822514.html #TheoryDarwinismNaturalSelection #1859_OnTheOriginOfSpecies #TheoryBigBang #ReasoningAnalogicalIntelligentDesignID #ToponymEuropeVaticanPopeBenedictXVI #IRLHistoricalFigureGalileoGalilei

"Some people have claimed the presence of humans in the Americas dates back earlier to 30,000 years, 40,000 years, or even more. We cannot prove that those claims are not true, but what we are saying, is that if they are correct, they could not possibly have been the direct ancestors to contemporary Native Americans." - Eske Willerslev

Addendum Martin-Green has been the subject of #PowerControlMicrofascismBullyingCyberTrolling because of her role as Commander Michael Burnham in #TVStarTrekDiscovery. Seemingly, the strikes multiple chords from the trolls' perspective: she is #IdentityAmericanBlackAndAfricanPOC her character's male name points to #PhenomnGenderFluid and having a female commander points to #TheoryRepresentationGender / #CauseFeminism. #MagazineUSTheNewYorkerManuSaadia "This being the United States in 2017, Internet trolls are accusing 'Star Trek: Discovery,' the newest incarnation of the sci-fi franchise, due to début on television in the fall, of white genocide. The commotion began last week, when the show's trailer first appeared on YouTube. It opens with a conversation between the two lead characters, a starship captain and her first officer, played by Michelle Yeoh and Sonequa Martin-Green, both women of color. ... Many commenters, though, were clearly appalled by the absence of white men in command positions. 'Where is the alpha male that has balls and doesn't take crap from anyone?' one asked. 'Is everything going to have to have females in every fucking thing?' another asked. A third person called Yeoh 'a reject from a overseas customer-support line.' A fourth dubbed the show 'Star Trek: Feminist Lesbian Edition.'" https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/for-alt-right-trolls-star-trek-discovery-is-an-unsafe-space #2017_ #IRLActorMichelleYeoh #ConspiracyTheory_WhiteGenocide #TheoryCodedMasculinityAlphaMale #OtheringStereotypeSocialIdentityImplicitBias

Addendum it's interesting the way that this metaphor works i.e. while there's something to be said for the #CharacterisationStrengthRobustness of early mobile phones, the reality is they weren't 'smart' (and have even been referred to as 'dumb' - making this conversation one where a 'dumb phone' lectures their 'smart' children about why it's better to be strong and stupid). It is the idea of being 'basic' and therefore, more #PleaAuthenticity.ic - unencumbered by the weight of 'culture' i.e. #MetaphorVersusCultureNature).

Supplementary "Declinism is the tendency to see the past in an overly positive light and to view the present or future in an overly negative light, leading us to believe that things are worse than they used to be. Declinism is often a feeling harbored about the overall state of a country, society, or institution, with the view that it is in decline or getting worse." https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/declinism Also ^[skeet]

Supplementary #WebsiteInternetEncyclopediaOfPhilosophyAshleyWoodward "For Lyotard change is life affirming, whereas the stable structures that inhibit change are nihilistic and life denying. However, Lyotard does not simply assert libidinal intensity as an affirmative 'other' to nihilism. For Lyotard, there is no affirmative region, no pure outside to nihilism. Lyotard does not propose that we champion affects, singularities, intensities and libidinal energy over systems, structures, theory, concepts and representation. This is because the only way libidinal energies can exist is within structures. Lyotard does not advocate a simple liberation of desire and does not attempt to set up a place beyond representation which would be immune to the effects of nihilism. Lyotard presents us, rather, with a metaphysical system in which intensities and structures are both essential elements of the libidinal economy." ^{[encyclopædia]}

Our Themed Communities provide students with an opportunity to cultivate community-building around a shared personal or academic interest.

Addendum presumably this is an effort to discredit #MetaphorWarfareCultureLiberalEducation. Horowitz fallaciously manipulates the meaning, which is intended by his interview subjects to support his #PhenomnPolemic. He does this through a number of means, including: 1). he fails to properly contextualise his interview questions for his subjects (causing them to make assumptions about its intended meaning); 2). he creates an artificial distinction between groups of interview subjects according to particular characterisations (that of the 'naive and overly #PoliticallyCorrectPC student' versus the 'every-person'). Symbolically, this locates the perspective of the 'every-person' as #PleaAuthenticity.ic and the PC student as #TauntHypocrisyLiberal; 3). different lines of questioning are reserved for black and white interview subjects (symbolically identifying their positions as distinct and different - and that they are therefore adversarial); 4). a question is asked about the equitability of 'separate but equal' university facilities/provisions, which is intentionally misleading in that it confuses a common-sense interpretation (which logically emphasises equality) with #PowerControlSegregationJimCrowLaws ^[Wikipedia] era #SloganSeparateButEqual rhetoric, which was used as constitutional cover against possible criticism so as to maintain racial segregation (and which was overturned by the #1954_USBrownVersusBoardOfEducation ruling).
