Gender Shades is a preliminary excavation of inadvertent negligence that will cripple the age of automation and further exacerbate inequality if left to fester. The deeper we dig, the more remnants of bias we will find in our technology. We cannot afford to look away this time, because the stakes are simply (...)

The third public #broadcast of #PZI #XPUB #Radio Implicancies will be on air today, THU: 28/5 at 16:00h CEST/UTC+2!

The third broadcast is a mystery, a myth, a speculation, an insecurity, a poem perhaps.

So, my video “Is it time to eat, or is there no more time to eat?” is currently playing in a loop at esc medien kunst labor in Graz, during the exhibition Cyborg Subjects. I find that pretty nice, all things considered. Wish I were there to see it all. https://esc.mur.at/en/projekt/cyborg-subjects

@cblgh @entreprecariat Nice!

I also tried to make a poster. I'm still not 100% happy with it but maybe I'll see if I can finish it up tomorrow and get a few Risograph copies made:

I'm helping on Scuttlebutt (a p2p social network) and we're looking for feedback and advice like: what are your privacy needs? How would you like blocking to work?

If you'd like to help with a survey or phone/video chat, please let me know by DM or at

This is an anti-commercial open source project. We want to make something accessible that meets the needs of people who have been harassed online and want a safer space to hang out with friends, and don't want to be dependent on Twitter/Facebook.

I wrote up the 'Draw pictures with code(and make them move)' workshop from a couple of weeks ago, now in the Solarpunk Magic Computer Club zine collection!

Fuck yeah trains!

Today the night train service started between Vienna and Brussels, and it will start between Vienna and Amsterdam from next year.

Convenient and great for the environment.

The Invention of “Ethical AI”

How Big Tech Manipulates Academia to Avoid Regulation

The irony of the ethical scandal enveloping Joichi Ito, the former director of the MIT Media Lab, is that he used to lead academic initiatives on ethics. After the revelation of his financial ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the financier charged with sex trafficking underage girls as young as 14, Ito resigned from multiple roles at MIT, a (...)
