Discusses #politics, but I'm particularly drawn to her discussion of digital strategy in politics and what we might learn from them. #digirhet https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/is-digital-media-undermining-citizenship/

2 followers · 3 posts · Server mastodon.socialI think I'm too tired & sick to rebuild my networks from scratch but here goes:
I'm Eelam Tamil #disabled (#fibromyalgia, #mecfs & #pots) and my work revolves around the politics & poetics of chronic pain; biocultural approaches to disability; academic ableism; & Euro-Western ocularcentrism. I also write about the #TamilGenocide in Sri Lanka. I'm obsessed with #Hades and my Siberian cat Athena.
Catch me here (but still mostly on Twitter).

Cosme + Falk (on why people share things on #socialmedia). May have students read this in #DigiRhet! #science https://www.asc.upenn.edu/news-events/news/what-makes-us-share-posts-social-media

Algorithms/AI are not objective systems. They're products of human minds, which are full of bias. We can make these systems better if we choose ethical foundations for design.

Whatever happens next with AI, it was not an inevitability: it was choices we made, and the values we placed on how we directed our curiosity and economic resources.
No…

I might play around with this stuff in my #DigiRhet classes! https://www.polygon.com/23540714/chatgpt-plagiarism-app-gptzero-artifical-intelligence-ai
