What was the quote about infrastructure only being visible when it fails?

#infragram #aws #sts

In which @Katecrawford takes the #LongNow stage talking "Mapping Empires" - YouTube LiveStream available, on 2pm AEDT so a good time-zone for Australians!

I am organizing the INFRASTRUCTURE workshop with awesome colleagues, our call for contribution is still open until 24th October!

https://infrastructure.web.deuxfleurs.fr/2025/

It targets researchers in computer science AND social sciences, but we would love to have participants from civil society.

Besides submitting a contribution, you can also simply come: the event is on 5th December in #Nantes . Attendance is free but you must register.

"When can woman best represent man?"

The only Jane Goodall tribute you need (it's ambivalent, as it should be):

Edit, that's the Goodall segment ⬆️, here's the whole thing: https://papertiger.org/donna-haraway-reads-the-national-geographic-on-primates/

"Pin the tail on the researcher: From distributed to meshy accountability in decentralized social media"

(ETA: Oh, and sincere thanks to everyone who's both lent moral support & helped me navigate this situation, including offering insights about network architecture & features. I say that in the paper but I should post it here too 💛)

@lrhodes for a brief moment I thought this was an #sts style reading group looking at a particular standard together, which I found oddly compelling...but this is fun too!

Have you read @karenhao book #EmpireOfAI, chronicling the rise of Sam Altman and #OpenAI?

Want to?

It's fantastic - meticulously researched, detailed and an incredible character analysis of one of the most influential people and companies of our time.

My favourite chapter is the last one - what would it take for the Empire of AI to fall?

In #Melbourne#Naarm?

Come see Karen in conversation with @Kobotic presented by #ReadingsBooks, this Friday night at #RMIT.

Entry is free, tix going fast though.

I'm looking for something on the history of data science. Anyone have any recommendations? Maybe someone in #STS ?
