Christian Pietsch<p>Wenn ihr mir folgt, habt ihr wahrscheinlich kein <em>Amazon Echo</em> in Hörweite stehen. Wer sowas kauft, hat ganz sicher die Kontrolle über sein Leben verloren. Das Gerät hat nicht umsonst mehrere <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/BigBrotherAwards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigBrotherAwards</span></a> »gewonnen«.</p><p>Aber vielleicht kennt ihr ja Leute, die sich selbst was vormachten und dachten, sie seien auf der sicheren Seite, wenn sie anklicken, dass der <em>Echo</em> (Dot/Spot) die Spracherkennung selbst machen soll, statt alle Tonaufzeichnungen in die Amazon-Cloud zu schicken. Tja, diese Option schaltet Amazon Ende des Monats ab. Weil der Bullshit-Generator Alexa+ sonst nicht profitabel sei.</p><p><a href="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/03/everything-you-say-to-your-echo-will-be-sent-to-amazon-starting-on-march-28/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/0</span><span class="invisible">3/everything-you-say-to-your-echo-will-be-sent-to-amazon-starting-on-march-28/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Amazon</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/Echo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Echo</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/AmazonEcho" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmazonEcho</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/Alexa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alexa</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/AlexaPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlexaPlus</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/chatbot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chatbot</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/genAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genAI</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/dontCallItAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dontCallItAI</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/Lauschd%C3%B6schen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lauschdöschen</span></a></p>

Gary Hall<p>Announcing the latest title in Open Humanities Press's MEDIA : ART : WRITE : NOW series:</p><p>Masked Media: What It Means to Be Human in the Age of Artificial Creative Intelligence by Gary Hall.</p><p>Available open access - to be downloaded for free:</p><p><a href="http://www.openhumanitiespress.org/books/titles/masked-media/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">openhumanitiespress.org/books/</span><span class="invisible">titles/masked-media/</span></a></p><p>If we want a socially and environmentally just future, do we need a radical new theory of change – or to radically change theory? Unsettling received ideas of the author and the book, originality and copyright, real and artificial intelligence, Masked Media tests ‘non-modernist-liberal’ modes of creating and sharing knowledge enabled by media technologies, from writing through to GenAI. Thinking outside the black box that renders Euro-Western knowledge-making practices invisible – keeping the human ontologically separate from the nonhuman – it shows there’s no such thing as the human, the nonhuman already being in(the)human. </p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/newmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>newmedia</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/academicpublishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>academicpublishing</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/experimentalwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>experimentalwriting</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/humanities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humanities</span></a><br><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>philosophy</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/openai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openai</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/genai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genai</span></a></p>
