They're curators, eyewitnesses, and living archives of atrocity. @moaerikssonkrut.bsky.social & I call them *War Influencers*; OA in @platformsnsociety.bsky.social 🧵

Can we actually build AI that make us obsolete as human beings? Depends on what we mean by an imagined humanity itself. Starting off w/ our first panel of #arc2023 at Humlab, Umeå uni.
