Trois régimes du pouvoir : savoir, production, représentation
Le pouvoir moderne ne repose pas sur la seule économie : il s’articule entre trois régimes – savoir-technique, productif et représentatif. Ensemble, ils forment le cœur d’un monopole de compétence, de propriété et de légitimité. #Mumford #Marx #Proudhon #philosophiepolitique Le pouvoir moderne ne se définit pas par une seule source de domination, mais par l’imbrication de trois régimes distincts : technique,…

"AI models have one undeniable virtue: the increase in speed and efficiency with which they can carry out tasks that were once the province of human beings. Language models can produce functional text for a wide range of contexts, while image generation models are giving us the capability to render into existence whatever image or video takes our fancy. This is widely taken as clear evidence of the benefits of AI. For Mumford, this type of thinking is precisely the problem. The myth of the machine is dehumanizing because it subordinates human values to machine values: speed and efficiency.
The most striking evidence of the myth’s cultural pervasiveness is that many avid accelerationists do not deny that AI could mean the end of humanity. They merely differ from the doomers in believing that this risk is necessary—even desirable—to achieve the spectacular increases in efficiency and productivity promised by AGI. Mumford foresaw this extreme endpoint. “The myth of the machine,” he wrote, “the basic religion of our present culture, has so captured the modern mind that no human sacrifice seems too great provided it is offered up to the insolent Marduks and Molochs of science and technology.”
Those branded as skeptics or doomers also still accept the premises of the myth of the machine. The stated aim of many organizations concerned with avoiding the worst AI outcomes is that we should “realize the benefits while mitigating the risks” of the technology. Mumford would argue the first half of this statement concedes too much, accepting the basic premise of the myth of the machine while presenting the task as removing the obstacles to realize its benefits. Many skeptics also share a basic misanthropic premise of machine superiority, focusing as they do on the biased, irrational, and flawed nature of human beings that needs machinic augmentation."

This afternoon's beats here in the Studio of Love™ provided by Mumford & Sons' album "Sigh No More.
Love this album. So many great songs but I think "After The Storm" is my favorite.

#Mumford #MediaEcology #MegaMachine: "What follows is a, rather lengthy, introduction to Mumford’s idea of “the megamachine.” It is offered here not in an attempt to counter the discussions around surveillance capitalism or the technocene or techno feudalism or TESCREAL but to hopefully add a little more historical depth to some of those concepts. Or, at the very least, to help place some of those more recent concepts into a longer trajectory of attempts to make sense of technological society. After all, ours is not the first period during which people have felt overwhelmed by the growing power of technology (and those close to technology)—and as we look at the present, and try to imagine what comes next, we should not forget the importance of looking behind us.
There is much can be said about our present technological situation. Indeed, there is much being said about our present technological situation. But as Mumford’s megamachine makes clear, we can’t say that nobody tried to warn us."

"Igual que Hesiodo, Lao-Tzu o Thoreau. Mumford es uno de los sabios que se apartan, que aconsejan el retiro y la resistencia ante las escandalosas ambiciones de las élites en el poder.
En cierto modo su libro es un llamamiento al la desobediencia. como escribe Donald L. Miller en su biografía sobre Mumford:
Mumford vuelve al retiro y a la conversión --los métodos siempre apreciados por sacerdotes y profetas. históricamente, los movimientos revolucionarios que han tenido mas éxito, argumenta, fueron aquellos iniciados por individuos y pequeños grupos que horadaban los margenes del sistema de poder <>. Dicha estrategia no busca apoderarse del centro del poder sino alejarse de el y paralizarlo. En ese sentido Thoreau, no Marx, es el revolucionario más peligroso, pues Thoreau reconoció que la desobediencia es el primer paso hacia la autonomía."

Listening to my #Vinyl #Collection - Album 165
#Mumford & Sons – Sigh No More (2009)
Doesn't every vinyl collector own a copy of this album? I'm typically not a fan of this style of #bluegrass #folk music, but this album is excellent!

#Pulsars rotate at a very regular period and are very stable. When converted to 🔊sound, they can act as a sort of backing beat 🥁to be used in music and tracks.
With the wide variety of pulsars, each with its own spin period, and thus, its own beat, musicians and scientists can work together to get the music flowing. Maybe use it as the base of a house track, played by one of the world’s leading DJs at a 20,000-strong crowd festival.
'PSR J1056-6258' has a 142 beats-per-minute (BPM) spin period, so it would be perfectly suited to go well with #Kylie #Minogue’s ‘Padam Padam’, #Britney #Spears ‘Toxic’, #Blondie’s ‘Call Me’ and #Mumford & #Sons ‘The Cave’.
French composer #Gerard #Grisey included a pulsar as one of the percussionists in his piece, 'Le Noir de l’Étoile'.

> ... [If after] four centuries.. we now overvalue the machine, is it not because the mechanistic doctrine which has made us competent to design machines and control them also promises to give the scientist an equal hold over the living organisms he unfeelingly identifies with machines?
