Ghosts in the Dating App Machine: Virality, AI, Data Colonialism Ghosts in the Dating App Machine offers a critical examination of the shift to dating apps to illustrate key features of a broader shift to a mode of “data” colonialism based on datafication and AI or...

This book links dating apps to AI and Data colonialism, arguing through interviews and cultural analysis that we are all becoming ghosts in the machines governing our everyday lives. It's great. And I wrote it. Available anywhere you download your books.

There's a tension b/w the claim that AI systems are being built on data extracted from the Global South and the claim that the Global South data is not being represented in the training data of AI systems.

Yet, many advocates freely switch b/w both.

There's an broadly-shared assumption that "data" is being extracted from the "Global South" whereas "value" is accruing to the "Global North". I don't think this is apparent, and I'm not sure it is true either.

The goal is an Ontopolitics of Non-Closure. To resist the colonization of time is to insist that the future is not a data point to be predicted, but a possibility to be lived

Vantage Breaks Ground on $15B Stargate Campus in Wisconsin The Lighthouse campus will feature four data centers spanning over 650 acres.

AI isn’t floating in the cloud — it’s being poured into concrete. Stargate’s $15B Wisconsin campus shows how power, energy, and compute are being centralized under the banner of “innovation.” #AIPolitics #DataColonialism

Asimov called it Multivac. Nault called it RePHleX. In Omniscient, it’s just ‘the System.’

Whatever you call it, the data the U.S. now wants from everyone who crosses its borders is perfect feedstock for an all-seeing, all-knowing AI

Çevresel veri üretimi, sadece bilimsel değil; aynı zamanda sınıfsal, mekânsal ve siyasal bir meseledir.
Biomass, doğayı gözlemlerken, aynı zamanda bilgiye dayalı bir egemenlik biçimi de yaratıyor olabilir.
