Ricardo Nunes "horizontalism vs verticalism" holds for technopolitics too? Feral/perma-computing, artisanal unbloated and prefigurative software, luddist sabotage. Vs tech-keynesian fully automated AI positive stack geopolitics. Both fetishize org. form and are reactive melancholic towards other?

Also note the invocation of the "unborn." AI isn't just a necromantic technopolitics; it's ventriloquist technopolitics. AI fits with political interventions from the pro-life movement: speaking on behalf of presumed political subjects who can't speak for themselves.

As with all artefacts of technopolitics, there are technical and political issues here. It's not the fact that ID cards are being mooted (lots of people would find some form of ID useful), my concern is that a small group of influential actors are interesting in weaponising them

So did any of the technopolitics journalists or think tanks who predicted this would be the deepfakes election reflect on how that didn’t pass, or no?
AI’s Fingerprints Were All Over the Election
But deepfakes and disinformation weren’t the main issues.

Technology should first and foremost change lives, the material conditions of life, not just provide entertainment, be a soothing toy making you forget the necessities which you don’t have.

What an excellent comparative historical essay. I’m going to assign it in my classes.

If you like stuff like this, you might want to check out my book MEME WARS that covers the last 10 years of right wing technopolitics from Occupy to the insurrection.

Fwiw, I've used this paper to propose 'decomputing' as a form of prefigurative technopolitics
Looking for a suitable preprint server for a critical paper on 'AI & Environmental Peacebuilding'. Any recommendations - OSF Preprints, SocArXiv, Zenodo?

By complaining about the way algorithms operate, are people kept engaged and outraged against the platforms instead of the things that they should be really against. #technopolitics #ai #socialmedia
