山下先生ありがとうございます「 本書はまさに、今日の技術環境の変化が国際関係自体を存在論的に変容させているということを、国際関係論という学知そのものに突き付ける理論的示唆を持っている」

This is funny. On the one hand, I hope our students will get jobs in the next few years; on the other hand, I think those who aspire to philosophy don’t know how philosophy is taught today...

戦争については、私は筋金入りのカント主義者ですから。 むしろこれは、現在の地政学的な行き詰まりに対する批判です。

Yuk Hui'nin (@digital_objects) değerli kitabı Post-Avrupa’nın Türkçe baskısına sunuş yazmış olmaktan mutluluk duyuyorum. Yuk Hui, yaşamlarımızın merkezindeki teknolojileri kateden büyük felsefi soruları açığa çıkarırken, felsefenin kendisinin de bir karşılaşmalar alanı olduğunu gösteriyor. Ben de sunuşta kitabı Husserl, Patočka ve Stiegler üzerinden kurulan karşılaşmalar eşliğinde Türkiye'den bakan biri olarak ele aldım. Daha önce de muazzam bir Patočka çevirisi yapmış olan Burak Çakır'ın (@buraakcaakir) titiz çevirisi sayesinde bu eserin Türkçe literatürdeki önemli bir boşluğu dolduracağına inanıyorum https://t.co/FqCqwbNZy9

Yuk Hui: Recursivity and Contingency

Yuk Hui‘s (@digital_objects) book pursues the ambitious task to provide an overview of Cybernetics and its philosophical predecessors by discussing Luhmannian system theory, Heideggerian phenomenology, German Idealism, Kantian Critiques, Leibnizian rationalism and even the ancient Greeks on only 300 pages!
The outline of the shift from “Organized Inorganic” to “Organizing Inorganic” serves as a general guiding indication on where this philosophical book may be situated within its field. And I would like to emphasize 'philosophical' in the sense that Hui provides a systematic view of the history of technology. This is certainly a philosophical book, not a history of philosophy.
Its density may certainly make it better suited for advanced readers; however, that may provide a broad enough overview to suggest what is worth reading next or even where to begin.
The mention of Mauss and his study of the Polynesian gift economy came as a, to me positively reassuring, surprise at the very end of the book.
Also, the seemingly paradoxical problem of growing purposelessness, the Heideggerian “Not der Notlosigkeit”, due to technological progress, is as prevalent as it is of interest.

“Through the systematization and planetarization of tools—especially automation—it will finally lead to the complete liberation of human beings from production—or, in economic terms, mass unemployment.”

[Architechtonics @architecht0nics]

“The current debates [in AI] are repetitions of the background that gave rise to Kant's critical philosophy. Precisely for this reason, Kant is more than relevant to our understanding of contemporary machines.”
- Yuk Hui @digital_objects

[Architechtonics @architecht0nics]

“It is possible to study the similarity between the history of artifcial intelligence and the history of early modern philosophy as a transposition of the philosophical problems regarding human cognition to the machine. In other words, returning to the history of philosophy might allow us to shed light on any hidden areas in the contemporary debates or the complications of the subject matter thus far ignored.”

What drives the "thinking machines" of Peter Thiel or Alex Karp? Blending Yuk Hui’s latest ideas (@digital_objects) with René Girard’s mimetic theory, this article offers a new taxonomy to understand the philosophy of our digital age.

If you think that persisting in this EU vs US, or US vs China or whatever you think your preferred nation-states should be doing, remember that there is no way out of this vicious competition if we don't start a planetary thinking for AI. @digital_objects wrote an excellent and very relevant book about that called "Machine and Sovereignty", which is available for free and you can also read his introduction to it here (https://t.co/G7iprsEl98).
