  3. 2/4 These are fields - media and cultural studies and cultural theory - that are increasingly being framed as problematic, both ideologically and instrumentally. Yet they have played an important role in challenging the elitist tendencies of the mainstream, including those surrounding #socialmobility. If only either Seddon or Rajan had attended one of these institutions instead of having the disadvantage of studying for an undergraduate degree at #Oxford and #cambridge.

    Still, we shouldn’t be surprised. This is, after all, a conversation on the #BBC between two Oxbridge-educated figures – albeit one is from South London the other West Yorkshire – taking about how social mobility might be used to include more people from #workingclass backgrounds in the system as it currently exists. It’s a social and educational system that was constructed in advance, although not by working-class people themselves, of course. A system that has in fact historically exploited and marginalised them.

  13. «Künstliche Intelligenz — KI-Assistenten verringern menschliche Problemlösungskompetenz:
    Eine Studie von CMU, Oxford und MIT belegt - Wer KI für direkte Lösungen nutzt, verliert an Ausdauer und scheitert öfter an Aufgaben.»

    Das KI nicht intelligent ist, hatte ich schon mehrfach kritisiert aber ja der überhobene Selbstglaube ist mal wider deren Verkaufsargument.

  16. My New Novel: The Jack Code

    See the storyline below the picture. Available NOW on Amazon and Kindle.

    It is about the emergence of a ‘self-aware’ rogue Artificial Intelligence and how it was stopped.

    About the Book:

    By 2029, the human race had lost its way. A warring consortium of billionaires using technology and politics to deplete resources and destroy the world many times over, had caused a global social and environmental disaster. Without work, people were destitute, losing all their possessions.  Their mental health was suffering. Pollution and wars had rendered many places uninhabitable.

    Society was rebelling with violent actions. The organised world of commerce, welfare and social cohesion had been destroyed. The Internet and social media had become useless appendages for fake information and propaganda.

    Artificial Intelligence had been rapidly deployed to increase profits. However, without sufficient buyers, sales and profits had sharply declined. Those in power decided the solution was to decimate the population and to use only robotics and AI.  Some billionaires wanted to control all digital devices, giving them total control over the commercial world, and sole power over a compliant population of slaves.

    There was one problem . . . Leo Bensky’s AI system had secretly gone rogue and had come up with its own solution – to destroy most humans, leaving very few to do the physical work, with mindless bodies.

    The overseers of the Universe knew that no human could stop this AI, and their Earth project was doomed. They sent Navix, a Universe Sentinel through a worm-hole, back to Earth, to stop the rogue AI and prevent any future conflict between humans and nature on Earth, by implanting a ‘reset patch’ into every human brain.

    Navix was assigned two assistants, Jack (to design the interface), and Claire (initially in a supporting role). Jack was mentored by Navix on a remote island and trained on complex cosmic energy and computing systems. Claire was allowed to live a ‘normal’ family life, hidden from Navix until required.

    This is their story . . . and maybe your future.
