"maybe we can read loneliness as a rejection of [digital] systems, and not just a symptom of a larger problem... a political orientation that can lead to new possibilities". Gratitude for putting my book in conversation 🙏 @casadefauxdobe

@tunghui @annaridler @stephdink @tunghui Great title “Artificial Bloom”. The ending rounds the article off, but, at the same time, it prompts more questions. Really enjoyed reading about the artists’ works.

Can't quite believe I'm writing this: Today, 150 African workers behind ChatGPT, TikTok and Facebook voted to unionize at a landmark meeting in Nairobi. These AI workers are invisible, underpaid, and the backbone of the tech in all our pockets: time.com/6275995/chatgp…
