  1. Against Bias: How Computing Cultures Manufacture Disengagement

    Norma Tamaria Möllers

    (MIT Press, 2026)

    "A rare look into the making of algorithmic surveillance—and how algorithmic harm happens.

    How do computer scientists negotiate the thorny political issues their work is involved in—such as state violence, racial profiling, or the deskilling of labor—when they make surveillance technology? Examining how disciplinary conventions and larger social forces shape how computer scientists think, Against Bias by Norma Möllers diagnoses a deeply rooted culture of disengagement in computer science, one that discourages computer scientists from speaking and thinking politically about their work, or considering how their technologies aid larger systems of oppression or human destruction.

    The author explores how and why, sometimes despite the best intentions, questions of justice, ethics, and democracy can disappear from the process of making algorithmic technologies, and what that has to do with the disciplinary cultures in which computer scientists are embedded. Speaking to broader debates on AI and social justice, this book makes the case for an “impure” computer science that doesn’t pretend to be neutral but teaches its students (how) to do no harm."

  2. Update. More protests against the #OpenAI gatekeeping of new results, this time in #physics:

    "OpenAI’s ‘shepherds’ affirm blockbuster physics result."

    From Scott Armstrong at NYU: "I’m happy the shepherds are releasing the Lean proof, finally, so we can see what the result is. And I hope, in the future, the AI labs will share their results widely with the community. This review can be done more efficiently and quickly in the open.”

  5. #neu & #OpenAccess:
    "Autism’s Configurations: Tracking the Circulation of a Metaphor"
    doi.org/10.1515/9783112246351
    "The book analyzes a selection of clinical, philosophical, and fictional works from the years 1943-1980 and thereby articulates a new method of analyzing #metaphors as configurations, making the argument that both the migrations and the longevity of neuropolitical metaphors rely on how they configure with other figuralized phenomena. In the case of #autism, its migrations between …

  6. Another to-do for the new Congress:

    "Senators don't always share bill text online before votes. They should, advocates say."

  9. Tubefilter: The Met Opera is using YouTube to look for a new generation of fans. “Timothee Chalamet may think that no one cares about opera, but one of the most prominent opera houses in the U.S. is betting that it can find new fans for a 430-year-old art form — it just needs to look in the right place. New York’s Metropolitan Opera is delivering a YouTube live stream that will provide […]
