@Waterstones Bullshit

[Kajsa @kk_liber]

Working in @Waterstones today following the lockdown. No hand sanitiser provided, no wipes, no disinfectant, no reduced shop hours, cash still being accepted. We're being told by head office that gloves and masks are not permitted, meanwhile administrative staff...(cont.)

@alexjameshq I truly believe anybody can, if they try just a little

It's come to this.

Gareth points out that AI research is overhyped, cf. the still rudimentary and unconvincing Mark Zuckerberg

[Jo @ events @JoAtEvents]

At #BristolCon panel on AI. An attempt to distinguish between ethics and morality; the first as codified and essentially procedural, the second as culturally and religiously constituted ...

[Jo @ events @JoAtEvents]

Interesting point about a somewhat benign driver for more anthropomorphic AI ... It's harder to ask a friendly, "human" feeling AI to do something unethical

I had to miss Sean O'Brien's paper BOO but I believe it related to this great article co-written with @robmdkiely: https://t.co/Y71KPLxNdm #unrealE #productivefutures #lsfrc2019

[Jo @ events @JoAtEvents]

Your research themed Roll20 sessions or something

[Jo @ events @JoAtEvents]

How should the low carbon academic conferences of the future support the social side of things? What kinds of programme items & projects are possible that would build connections without necessarily flying people all over the world?

@Escogar @cyborg_feminist A fantastic paper :D

[Katie Stone @cyborg_feminist]

They conclude with a discussion of Alder's work on the necessity of queering the mechanics of games, as well as their thematic content. A really exciting talk (v looking forward to playing the game Felix is designing!) #UnrealE

Esko is relating this to techno-optimistic discourses more generally, and the fantastical decoupling of futurity from material infrastructure and limits.

[Jo @ events @JoAtEvents]

Next at #unrealE it's @escogar on @timmaughan's recent novel Infinite Detail. Esko suggests it can be seen as techno-naturalist speculative fiction ... [#productivefutures #lsfrc2019]

[Jo @ events @JoAtEvents]

Esko now touching on growth, degrowth, green growth, etc. The European Environmental Bureau: "there is no empirical evidence supporting the existence of a decoupling of economic growth from environmental pressures" etc. In other words, green growth appears a dangerous fantasy.
