These "authors" and "editors," creatures of Scott's invention, share with him the anxieties of labour and production, the need to keep up an impossible pace of writing to ensure their support in an age of inflation (after Napoleon and before Reform, a time of crop failures and government poverty.) At the same time, they share with other laborers, real and invented, the opposing fear of mass production, de-skilling, and declining working conditions in the face of #machines. #GenAI 3/6

#News 📢 from #AI #research 🤖: “How #ChatGPT 📱 can benefit from #human #brains 🧠 - or how we teach #machines 💻 to #think 🤓

The research is a true joint venture between #AI and #neuroscience, as the #data and #methods can directly contribute to the #improvement of #LLM, such as #ChatGPT, and #cognitive #neuroscience can also learn about the #use and #formation of #language in the #brain.

“The Silent Reordering: How China Builds While America Shouts”

by Pascal Lottaz in Pascal’s Substack on Substack

“The future won’t be won on battlefields, but on construction sites. And if the choice is between bombs or bridges, most of the world already knows what it wants. China isn’t rising because it’s aggressive, it’s rising because it's useful”

The UnControlled Manifold Rehearsal Session #7
-- Invitation to dance
30.04.2025 starting with a warm-up, unstable rhythms, bumpy music from 7pm - 8pm and hoping to then smoothly transition for another hour till 9pm into danceable polyrhythms & broken beats.
Location is Schanzenstr. 22, first floor, 51063 Köln-Mülheim.
It is an ongoing experiment, I want to find out how it changes my performance practice, when people dance to the sounds my machines produce.

→ Turkey’s translators are training the AI tools that will replace them
restofworld.org/2025/turkeys-t

“The trends are global. In November, the Netherlands’ largest publisher announced it would use AI to translate certain books, with humans only involved in light edits. In the UK, over a third of 12,500 translators said they have lost work to machines.”

Rest of World · Desperate for work, translators train the AI that’s putting them out of workTranslators in Turkey are at risk of being replaced by LLMs, and having diminished skills and fewer career options for all but elite scholars.

The Uncanny Muse by David Hajdum, 2025

Par notre collègue James Costa, sur le thème des machines, thème inépuisable et très ancien :

"Des langues inventées au télégraphe : technologies du langage et machines linguistiques sous la Révolution"

Avec l'histoire du télégraphe de Chappe (1790), précurseur d'Internet et de l'IA, James Costa nous rappelle que les machines aussi ingénieuses soient-elles prennent tout leur sens lorsqu'elles s'inscrivent dans un contexte humain, social et politique...⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
