On Tuesday night, I successfully defended my #PhD thesis on #dataset #documentation as a leverage point for better speech technologies at #ANU #Cybernetics! 🎉
I have some minor corrections and then I will officially be a #PhD. It's been a long six years!

just here to note how "interesting" it is that British cyberneticist Stafford Beer envisioned in 1960 a "lights out factory" that was purely automatic and designed to make human labor redundant. Two years later he muses that with the addition of a "built-in brain" to this automatic factory, "management would be freed for tasks of eugenics". jfc. #ai #cybernetics

Today we bring you an ep on #IndigenousFuturisms, #optimism in First Nations #storytelling, & 🧡 #Ochrepunk🧡 with special guest, Matthew Ngamurarri Heffernan 🖤💛❤️
Matt is a Luritja man, software #developer, creative #technologist, #playwright, #poet, and #cybernetics PhD student 💻✍️🎭 He’s a developer at #Indigemoji & creator of sci-fi play #TheRobotDog 🤖🐕
Press play for a yarn about Matt’s work on the #JeddaTest (inspired by the #BechdelTest, focused on Indigenous rep), his play, and #Solarpunk ☀️

Afgelopen week behandelden we in de themagroep Cybernetische Economie van de @rsp_revsocpartij hoofdstuk 1 van Brain of the Firm.

scratched together a few thoughts about #cybernetics and the idea of being a #SolarPunk #cyborg https://pospi.spadgos.com/2025/11/24/what-does-it-mean-to-be-a-solarpunk-cyborg/
(and some working #UserInterface code & configuration for #Ubuntu & #PopOS users)
Delighted to see Widdicombe’s (NCM Senior Curator) new conversation piece on the #environmental impacts of #technology systems like #AI and the #telegraph. It draws from our research at the School of #Cybernetics on the telegraph as an important historical system!

I can't really believe it, but I've gotten an email saying that my #talk on #fascism for the #39C3 got accepted!
So, “All Sorted by Machines of Loving Grace? "AI", Cybernetics, and Fascism and how to Intervene” will be happening at the #ccc #congress in #Hamburg
I am so excited! Well switching in between feeling excited and feeling the pressure 😉
Looking forward to the discussion with you guys!

Turns out the singularity was just fascism.

Nanotechnology is life

Human nanotechnology machines are very very far from this...
This promise is bullshit because of the real reason of their singularity promise is to create beliefs and religions to give illusions of progress.
Their machines even in the best cases, will be for a long time very low tech compared to DNA life, very energy and mineral consuming, and if singularity occurs it starts without real life constraints...
Is there a limit to the size of an email signature? I have The Bee Movie script and a need to punish people that email me.
@catsalad
Thaaaatts why people have twatty email signatures! Oh my days. It all makes sense now! It works too, I actively don't want to email them. I stand educated. Thank you <3
Looking for a edutainment MS-DOS game that teaches you cybernetics (systems thinking) with a (iirc) an economics and environment simulation. It must have been from the late 1980s or early 90s and I think it used EGA graphics. It may have been in German.
Rings a bell what game it is?
Update: found it! It’s called Ökolopoly https://youtu.be/iYPSANP9B4k?si=-hm5N-h59mh0C-U4
