… Besides, when your Assistant’s “handling” goes awry, I know you will call Ahmad or Ramesh, whom you pay 2$ an hour, and have them fix the issue for you. How do you find Ahmad and Ramesh? You pick them out from the “thousands of applicants” your LinkedIn customers feed into your #AI machines!

… LinkedIn can help me “focus on top candidates” while I let its Assistant handle “thousands of applicants”. No, thank you.
I work in academia. It is very rare that I get to offer people a job in this sector. Every now and then, I do. But then I make sure I “handle” applications individually…

😠 #ContraAI 🤖Ah, hello “all-new Hiring Assistant” without a name or face. I can’t remember having met before, so what are you doing in my timeline? Oh, I see, you are “Promoted” by LinkedIn Talent Solutions! So, LinkedIn is paying you so that I might pay LinkedIn so that …

Just booked hotel room in June and was *shook* about the prize 😳

Wie mach ich das meinen Studierenden klar (und den Lehrenden KollegInnen) ?
#KI ist weder zukunftsgewandt noch ein 'skill'.
Es versucht, Menschen überflüssig zu machen.

KI verdrängt Einstiegsjobs: Diesen Preis zahlen Firmen für ihre Einsparmaßnahmen
KI-Tools statt jungen Talenten, die ein monatliches Gehalt und eine aufwendige Einarbeitung brauchen: Damit sägen Unternehmen langfristig am eigenen Ast.

Jeff Bezos a volontairement détruit le Washington Post pour offrir son scalp à Donald Trump. Voilà ce qui nous attend si la loi sur la concentration des médias (vieille de 40 ans!) n'est pas revue à temps. Il n'y a pas de démocratie sans liberté de la presse.

was ist ein "trinkbarer Begleiter" ?

Ok US …

Vielleicht in US-Amerik. Soziologie? Ich bin hier ja in der Soziologie und hör da nix aus Dtld…

… ist irgendwie an mir vorbeigeflogen das Konzept…Ich kenne es von Arendt, aber nicht in aktueller sozialwiss. Forschung …

Es bestätigt eigentlich Deine These, dass das Konzept nur wenig zu greifen vermag - außer, man nimmt Bumerangphysik ernst und schaut sich all die Effekte an, die da entstehen und nicht nur die Rückkehr des Objekts …

Ja das hab ich verstanden - meine Beispiele sind aber auch Re-Importe struktureller Gewalt, könnte man sagen, einmal in ehemals kolonialisierte Gebiete und das andere Mal in den eigenen Staat. Ich hab überlegt, dass es dafür keine Begrifflichkeit gibt (recolonialization/ internal colonialism) … ?

Habs gelesen und mir sind 2 Beispiele eingefallen:
1. Berichte über IDF-Kämpfer, die nach Indien geschickt werden, um dort - hochtraumatisiert- eine Zeit im Drogendelirium verbringen, oder da versumpfen
2. traumatisierte, verarmte und vergessene US-Veteranen
Was für Bumerangeffekte wären das?

It’s been 5 years that the military attempted a coup in #Myanmar. But today is also #Imbolc. A spring revolution in the true sense. Winter is not over, but soon it will be: the first snowdrops are out and the sun is returning.
May all beings be happy.
May everyone be free.

Why do they still ask people like me to review a proposal?
How on earth is a commission going to make an informed decision?

more Qs. Is The Gambia able to identify the locations where sexual violence has occurred and which measures were taken to investigate these incidents ? To Myanmar: How does each party characterize ARSA? Q to Myanmar: reasons for refusal to cooperate rgd. int. cooperation in prevention of #genocide ?

Still catching up with #ICJ hearing #TheGambia vs #Myanmar - on 20 January, 9 judges began to pose questions to the two parties. 1st Q: on the methodology of how #evidence was collected from anonymous witnesses by third parties. 2nd Q (to Myanmar): how many villages destroyed by ARSA/Tatmadaw/Gov.

Lit up by the moon, it looked celestial; seemed some plumed and glittering god uprising from the sea.

I wrote a short grant application today and enjoyed it because I really want to be able to realize the project. It's about forms of digital feminism in Asia and would entail teaching students in Konstanz and Kyrgyzstan, creating podcasts together and collaborating with a dear colleague from Bishkek.
