Jesus I didn't know Latour passed away. His thinking is so dominant in STS and law and the philosophy of technology in all the literature I encounter, that I assumed he was still alive, perhaps retired.

Whoa.

“The smishing triad does not directly con everyday people. Instead, it sells software packages to anyone who’d like to do their own scamming. For some $200 a month, the triad’s customers can get a scam rolling, even if they have no technical savvy themselves.”

When we look ahead to 2018, we should expect big steps forward in science to come once again from changes in style rather than from marginal improvements in technology.

When you've survived decades in a system that never stopped abusing you, you recognize the pattern: detection isn't the problem. Willingness to act is. Technology can't automate courage. We need governance reform, not algorithmic distraction.

AI doesn't fix accountability—it provides cover. Deploy automated scribes, efficiency metrics climb, leadership points to innovation. Denials spike via algorithms, but the algorithm becomes the target instead of policy. Technology substitutes for governance.

Gobbless digital art for letting me play paperdolls before committing to actually drawing something (only to possibly hate it) technology truly is a miracle 🙏

Something we rarely see in films but I like it a lot is the technology that combine biology and digital technologies into some cool hardware like Digital Life Project from The Wandering Earth 2 and Soul Drive from Avatar: The Way of Water

Call the Senate main number tel:+12022243121 to tell them you want the use of this technology that violates our privacy stopped NOW. Email your representatives. Call them individually.
ICE’s facial recognition technology is fueling a surveillance state that targets Black & Brown communities, silences dissent, and chills free speech. I’m demanding ICE stop scanning our faces like barcodes.

Survey Among College Students Finds Associations Between Substance Use and Mental Health | Cannabis Science and Technology
How does the use of cannabis and alcohol affect the mental health of college students? Researchers in a recently published study noted the need for more studies on the relationship between substance use in college students and depression, anxiety, and stress among this population (1). This cross-sectional survey study examined simultaneous cannabis and alcohol (SCA) use specifically and mental health outcomes. Additionally, the researchers examined the effects of SCA use among male and female students, hypothesizing the potential of sex-related outcomes. Studies on these topics could help guide clinical interventions for young adults and for individuals seeking mental health treatment.

If we embrace functionality with emotion, future societies may prioritize holistic design and empathy in technology, fostering deeper connections. Think of community-driven innovations! #futurism
What I crave is something functional, rugged but hopefully optimistic of the future that's not scared of emotion.

Not in the stupid shitty finance bro or AI tech bro slop or Hollywood-Science-Fiction kinda way...

But in an Ursula Leguin kinda way.

You do: You've also got the geriatric politicians who can't profit from it (before they die), the billionaires who want to protect their factories, the media hiding the usefulness of such technology and talking heads who bitch about the inadequacies and imperfections of new technology.

I'm so tired of mediocre men in my workplace. All the technology at your fingertips and you can't get your act together. No plan. Call a meeting that is really just an excuse to socialize. I have work to do. Don't ask me about my day off. You called me in here to do work.
