[…]that resonates with a foundational tenant for the methodology of textual criticism as a literary studies specialism. Text is not to be identified with its physical instantiations. Text in a computer is the same object of textual critical study as text in a book. And alphabetic text is, in fact, foundational for modern computation. It is determinant of important characteristics for encoding conventions which still predominate. But as we have also already pointed out text implies nothing more than some kind of regular relation with language as such, and it does not take much research – think English spelling (orthography) […]
[…]was a direct response. When hydropower arrived, there were a lot of folks who were in horrible working conditions and, frankly, were undervalued in what they were doing and were out of a job. And so there were a group of folks who used a fellow by the name of Ned Ludd as their sort of spiritual leader, and they decided to fight the rush towards industrialization. And they started, as you said, breaking into factories, breaking the looms, and they worked really hard to target the factories, the mill owners and the people who supported this rush to industrialization. […]
[…]and some of the most impactful, powerful experiences for students are when they’re actively working on projects that we’re working on, or at least witnessing it, being a part of it, that kind of thing. So I could really see those two integrated. SR: Yeah. And merging practice and theory, I think is real important. It’s something that might be, if not unique, pretty distinctive about the environment that we’re bringing here. JN: I think you’re right. Because it is true as a research Center, it is actually really unique in that regard, in the sense that we have both […]
[…]share memes. And if you don’t, it’s like you don’t belong. So, these platforms are kind of working to galvanize these groups and prepare them for something, whether it’s just being on this platform and being a member of the community or taking action offline. SR: And it’s sort of a recruitment tool. AS: That’s right. SR: It’s bringing people to different kinds of movements, and then maybe that’s what gets replicated in other parts of the world, that people see that this is an effective propaganda tool. AS: That’s it exactly. I believe, Parler was and Telegram, Parler was […]
[…]is inseparable from human embodiment at any and all levels of linguistic structure. The LLMs are working with text not language.” While acknowledging the strength, persuasiveness, depth and clarity of Cayley’s arguments, the central claim here is that multimodal ML trained on youtube and massive quantities of public domain science data that exceeds the spectrum of the human-perceivable world will give AI a grounding that is in some ways vaster than that experienced by a singular human neurophysiology. The distributed body of 21st century AI, ingesting the output of mass uploaded images-text-speech-video and cartographic-accelerometer data, will utilize humanity as its […]
[…]joining the reactionary. And, beyond Stiegler, maybe that risk should anyway be taken in order to critically assess new technologies? As I argue above, not all negative critique is reactionary, and not all new inventions are purely good (or bad). As for specifically “left-wing” critique, I am not sure why critique of technology or new media should be assigned to either or any wing at the start. And, finally, if I may comment on the description of “the old bank robber” – yes, Stiegler was incarcerated for armed robbery, as is well known from his own books and elsewhere. But […]
[…]regrettable. Gass continues, “I could see [Gaddis’s] youthful love glowing plainly when our group visited Dostoyevsky’s apartment. The sight of the master’s desk actually wet Willy’s eyes. I envied him. When my eyes moistened, it was only for Bette Davis, and such a shallow show of weakness made me angry with my soul” (196-97). Their opposing opinions on Russian authors stand out because in practically every other way Gaddis and Gass were likeminded literary souls, and perhaps this kindredness is most plainly seen from a distance; that is, by looking at the arc of each man’s entire career. Both writers […]
[…]focus from Gaddis to the characters. Second, readers need to place individuals in larger aggerate groups and recognize how these groups act like an ecosystem for ideas and values—a blend of history, culture, and economics. Understanding the movement of ideas and values between individuals and aggregate groups help readers find nuanced meaning with regards to how they hold characters responsible for their actions, as well as how culture shapes characters. This dynamic relationship is central to a writer’s craft. In other words, every writer has choices when building a character. The writer can present a character as racist but also […]
[…]laudable and understandable, especially in the light of Herman & Krafft’s flawless politeness, critical generosity and respect for other critical voices, such a narratological ‘solution into playful irony’ tends to smooth out the often painfully sharp and hurtful edges and contours of specific sentences, passages and characterizations. Considering that Pynchon’s texts always acknowledge ‘our’ immature complicity with the dark sides of power and sin, we should perhaps give his texts some leeway, and in fact come to value their controversial and immature tendencies. Maybe one might even imagine a poetics of “more maturity, more immaturity!” Maybe we should value the […]
[…]and if what they do is often for harmful or destructive ends, it compels us because it reflects critical understanding of a traditional hierarchy and society that is equally corrupt behind its façade of rightness. One tradition of American antiheroes is closer to this line. These begin with Twain’s Birdofredum Sawin and Huck Finn, moving through Holden Caulfield toward (from Gaddis’s era) Randle McMurphy of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Like the European model, these are Romantic rejectors of an overly rationalized civilization, but unlike the Europeans they are often anti-intellectual and wilfully naïve, hence a greater proportion of […]
