RE: https://hcommons.social/@DHNow/117043880275643095
I‘m still a bit sceptical about the DH approach to technology, which seems to retain an old and dangerous ontological paradigm of technology that the history of technology and STS have thoroughly criticised. That technology acts upon people and society without being acted upon was always an analytically unsatisfying approach to me, but I think models of articulation between tech and society, i.e. complex interactions, being what shapes tech and its role is to me a fundamentally necessary approach to LLMs. Without it no real critical approach to them is possible, let alone resistance.
What I mean to say is: there is no technological „sublime“, never was. It was always an effect of propaganda.

New study unpacks how ritualized representations (such as scientific assessments) generate meaning beyond their narrowly intended functionality.
Ritualized representations sustain engagement against all odds in the face of intractable problems.The study focuses on the pervasive use of representations, including assessments
and evaluations, to deal with intractable problems, even though such representations are
commonly understood as incomplete or flawed.#ipcc

"Because they are removed from their original contexts in time and space (which can never be recovered), and recontextualized in others, the meanings of material forms preserved in museums are problematic." Marilyn Strathern, "Learning to See in Melanesia"

I defended my doctoral thesis yesterday at @IBI_HU and passed summa cum laude. 🎓 My office door already says Dr. Laura Rothfritz on it, which still feels unreal. But it's not official of course, until the dissertation is published.
The work looks at trust and distrust in public data infrastructures, with the Data Rescue movement in 2016/2017 as its case.
Thank you to everyone who read drafts, argued with me, and kept me going.

📣 New paper: Designing for biodiversity data in place: Species, encounters, and interfaces
This open access paper presents our work developing ALA Lens for the Atlas of Living Australia.
It shows how conventional interfaces can hide the taxonomic and spatial diversity that matters in biodiversity data, and how Lens reveals the relationships between species, people, and place.
Co-authored with my @ANUResearch colleague Adrian Mackenzie and ALA collaborators Martin Westgate and Kylie Morrow 🙏
Just out in People and Nature journal, part of a special collection on the "Digital Dimensions of Nature Recovery"

The #SpeechToSpeech project was deployed. And it worked 🎉
It stayed live in one of the #PyConIT 2026 rooms throughout the event 🏗️
📊 A few words on the stats: the most used languages were English, French, Italian and Spanish. And someone even tried Korean 🤭
Thank you to #PyConIT 2026 for hosting my #talk

“Another Monday” is ordinary language, but it reveals something larger.
A calendar coordinate returns, and stored experience returns with it.
Symbols help us compress reality: names, dates, labels, rituals, stories, feeds, frames.
They help us live together.
But trouble begins when the markings are mistaken for the surface.

»If AI is presented as ahistorical […] tracing the lineages of the field's unquestioned assumptions […] is crucial. If AI is staged as a kind of mysterious or magical force, articulating the project's constituent materialities and […] economies that underwrite it, is an important ethicopolitical intervention. If AI is cited as if its referent were self-evident, asking what work that rhetorical stance is doing is a priority.«

I can't let this go without waving my hands in #STS and pointing to this and saying, "see, affective ties to technology and non-human actors are everywhere!"

'Federated Fair Trade Energy'-- what is that?
@dawnnafus and myself have just written a paper that speculates on what this could be.
If you want to know more, and hangout with others exploring what 'Computing within Limits' might look like, join us all online at LIMITS 2026 next week...

Models are not neutral summaries of reality.
They are cuts into continuity: selective procedures that make part of an ongoing process recognizable, recordable, transmissible, or actionable.
The question is not whether we cut. We have to cut to perceive, remember, govern, and act.
The question is: who cuts, by what frame, and with what consequence?

Simulation does not have to mean fake.
The better question is not “is reality fake?” It is: which simulations clarify reality enough to help us act, and which ones begin replacing the reality they were meant to clarify?

I’m Stephen A. Putman, an independent researcher writing about models, meaning, metaphor, narrative, weak-signal interpretation, and AI governance.
Current working idea: models are not neutral copies of reality. They are cuts into continuity — ways finite minds stabilize a moving world enough to act, remember, communicate, and share meaning.
