Leyendo a Habermas, sin duda el autor menos "page-turner". Como no puedo leerlo en alemán, no sé si la dificultad se debe a su peculiar registro filosófico de una exactitud maniática y singular (hasta el punto de que a menudo bordea la parodia de sí mismo), o a la violencia de traducirlo al español.

"Scale AI helped other businesses build A.I. technologies. It hired armies of contract workers to sift through vast amounts of data, labeling and “cleaning” the information so that it could be used to train complex A.I. systems."

![In the letter Jakobson suggests that a closer collaboration between engineering and linguistics is crucial for the future development of linguistics (cf. Segal 2003, chapter 6). Moreover, after having read Wiener’s Cybernetics, in a brief note to Weiner, Jakobson (February, 1949) declares his astonishment at the striking parallels between the problems of cybernetics and linguistics he discovered while reading Cybernetics: At every step I was again and again surprised at the extreme parallelism between the problems of modern linguistic analysis and the fascinating prob- lems which you [= Wiener, JVDW] discuss. The linguistic pattern fits excellently into the structures you analyze and it is becoming still clearer how great are the outlooks for a consistent cooperation between modern linguistics and the exact sciences. (Quoted in Kay 2000: 297–2987, my emphasis, JVDW; MIT Archives, Wiener Papers, MC22, Box 2.92)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7n2kt5p362rv743jafmnj4ls/bafkreidlotvm2v2evsiqbnk76um3ff34toklm4cei6l2bhw725hlvbprny@jpeg)

I agree with your point. But when Latour emphasizes that "facts are constructed," he is not suggesting that "nothing is real" but rather highlighting how fragile facts are. As I was revisiting the sections I had underlined when I first read the essay a couple of years ago, this passage stood out:

Unfortunately, the companies that dominate our digital media ecosystem profit from the engagement caused by misogyny, and also from the engagement caused by the outrage caused by misogyny. Having reduced public discourse to engagement metrics, it's all the same to them.
