Las "alucinaciones" de la IA son errores. Me molesta el término "alucinaciones" porque le pone una cuota de mística e imaginación que no es tal.

In a case study, Daniela Salas Zúñiga and I explored how family mentorship and data surveillance capitalism remain closely tied in Lima. You can read about it on page 33 of Reilly, Morales @estebanmorales.bsky.social & Morales Gonzales “Communing Data Literacy” (Link up next)
In 2019 my family in Peru wasn’t aware that I could open a bank account by myself without my father’s or husband’s signature. The idea of “family mentorship” in Peruvian culture remains relevant to this day. 3/
Now, as an immigrant and a tech user, women like me need to give up our corporeal data in order to be able to work, access services, travel and receive healthcare. 2/
This International Women’s Day I’m thinking about how many cultures still consider women’s bodies to belong more to their families, to god, to men, to tech firms. I was brought up with the idea that my body is meant to uphold my family’s honour 1/ 🧵

Thoroughly enjoyable conversation between @aiannucci.bsky.social and a lady who may not have written a certain book about Meta. Didn’t get the chance to ask my question about how satire can be used as a form of resistance (by us quiet bat-people) against the mystic narratives held by big tech. 😅

My co-host Thomas Germain on our BBC podcast The Interface hacked ChatGPT in 24 hours.

I am teaching a digital culture research seminar this term and I shared @jessmaddox.bsky.social newsletter with the students—they absolutely loved it.
Students are now asking me if I know of any other similar newsletters. Any recommendations? I am trying to compile a public list.
