Next is Wolfgang Minatti, with a presentation on legitimacy through violence, drawing on fieldwork in Colombia

Now, @amenzel.bsky.social is offering comments, encouraging as to go back to the “classics“, linking the presentations with work by Ferguson and Kalyvas, and bring out clearer the questions and puzzles that we seek to address in our research. Whom are we writing for? Whom are we writing against?

Imitating the results of human creative labour while blackboxing the processes behind (which largely consist of acts of appropriation, extraction, exploitation & waste of energy) is what genAI is all about. Presenting it is a neutral guide means depoliticizing a highly political technology
