Anyone here have a good reading list for Bonnie #Honig and her theory of pluralistic agonism? Need to get a reference set put together. #agonism #pluralisticagonism #research

By moving subsidiarity into technical architecture, rather than human policy, the fediverse can move from *antagonism* (the "zero-sum destructiveness" that dominates current online debate) to #agonism, where your opponent isn't an enemy - they are a "political adversary":

Here, Rozenshtein cites @320x200 and @rra's "Seven Theses On The Fediverse And The Becoming Of Floss":

There are concerns that GPT3 was released without much thought for ethics accuracy & accountability. Fair.

But what is the alternative? That it remain in a shadowy room, new capacities that only *they* can engage and understand first hand? And then *those people and friends* decide what an ethical design looks like?

Having a messy public beta is the /condition of possibility/ for a public debate about how AI can be ethical and accountable.

@fasterandworse Well, I suppose I can always block you for eternity... 🤣 🤣 😘

critique is the name of the game. note the #agonism in my #introduction

@schock@mastodon.lol @YBenkler good Q, inviting Qs! ;).
p.s. to introduce & hashtag a few good related terms and book, for anyone unfamiliar (I know @schock knows): "Adversarial Design…evokes and engages political issues…in the construction of objects, interfaces, networks, spaces and events. Most importantly, #AdversarialDesign does the work in expressing and enabling #agonism."
"Term was first used by #CarloDiSalvo [GIT, @cdisalvo.@twitter] in 2012 book Adversarial Design.

Every year, I try to participate at Congregation, a small un-conference in Ireland held in...Cong.

This year, the theme was "Purpose." So, I submitted the following:
"Agonistic Purpose"

Another day, another 2,998 duplicates to get vetted in Rayyan.ai. *sigh*

Let's do this...but first, #coffee.
