Paternalismo libertario de última generación

Más complicado que arrebatarle el poder a alguien es conseguir que te lo entregue desde el convencimiento de que es lo mejor que le ha podido ocurrir. Existe, de hecho, una larga y bien financiada corriente de pensamiento destinada a indagar sobre cómo recibir ese poder, cómo gobernar mejor, con menos fricciones. Y existe otra corriente, especular a aquella, sobre cómo es posible que nos entreguemos a menudo a esta servidumbre voluntaria, así como cuándo, cómo, qué ocurre al romperse su hechizo. En su libro, “El algoritmo paternalista. Cuando mande la inteligencia artificial” (Katakrak, 2024), Ujué Agudo y Karlos g. Liberal han inscrito al dispositivo algorítmico y sus mutaciones automatizadas en esa discusión. La fantasía del algoritmo continúa el sueño paternalista y reformista de la modernidad respecto a un mundo que por fin haya dejado atrás la irracionalidad y la violencia. Un mundo que es ordenado sin que nadie tenga que poner orden. Si gobernar es condicionar el campo de acción de los otros, como decía Foucault, automatizar y escalar digitalmente esas mediaciones las eleva a otro nivel, del que solo podemos ser conscientes si hemos pasado el tiempo suficiente en Internet. En el postfordismo, el hábitat digital se ha convertido en el espacio de explotación científica de las emociones en el trabajo y en el consumo. ¿Cómo se ha podido, entonces, al grito de la libertad individual, externalizar hasta este punto nuestra capacidad de decidir? El libro apuesta por la conjunción de dos enfoques ideológicos, hoy naturalizados. En primer lugar, la impugnación de la capacidad humana para entender y decidir de forma racional y correcta. Ni 20 años llevábamos sosteniendo que el homo economicus éramos la cumbre de la evolución, de tal modo que comunalizar cualquier proyecto de vida era fundar una SL con 40 millones de parásitos, que el conductismo de mercado tuvo que ponernos en su sitio, demostrar que teníamos la cabeza llena de sesgos, la atención de Homer Simpson y que, por nuestro bien, le entregáramos las llaves. Esta idea de que siempre somos lo insuficientemente algo como para que resulte razonable que decidamos sobre las cosas que nos afectan es la base de nuestra civilización. Siempre somos demasiado nosotros/as como para decidir sobre nosotros/as. Pero, claro, por otro lado, la tecnocracia old school ha hecho una stage en Silicon Valley y ha conocido el solucionismo, esa forma de optimismo por arriba que confía en que cualquier problema se puede y se debe simplificar e individualizar lo suficiente para que quepa en una app -hola, 2005- o se le encargue a una IA. Así, cada vez más procesos socioafectivos, económicos y políticos se mueven dentro de una arquitectura de decisión predefinida que no podemos entender, pero que tampoco parece que tenga sentido discutir porque, total, la máquina lo va a hacer mejor. En la automatización late también el viejo deseo popular de dejar de lado la necesidad de acometer tareas absurdas y tediosas. Sin embargo, como ya mostraron Hester y Srnicek en “Después del trabajo. Una historia del hogar y la lucha por el tiempo libre” (Caja Negra, 2024), toda máquina introducida para ahorrar tiempo en el hogar se corresponde con un desplazamiento del estándar sobre los resultados del trabajo que mantiene constante, en el mejor caso, el tiempo invertido. Ese deseo debería empujarnos a ver que, si solo se trata de máquinas y reglas, somos perfectamente capaces de conocerlas y reconfigurarlas. Es decir, que si se trata de poder, se trata de un asunto que se nos da, digan lo que digan quienes viven de las máquinas, estupendamente.

The Lord has given Spirit-empowered, gospel-centered, God-glorifying Bible teachers to His church for the sake of human salvation and the preservation of sound doctrine.   (Ephesians 4:11-14)   But…   There are also false prophets spreading anti-gospel teachings with selfish motives, working in opposition to Jesus' church and mission.   (2 Peter 1:21,2:1)   Therefore:   It is critical that the church is able to discern the difference and to reject whatever is not in accordance with biblical Christianity.    (1 John 4:1)   “We have somehow got hold of the idea that error is only that which is outrageously wrong; and we do not seem to understand that the most dangerous person of all is the one who does not emphasize the right things.” — Martyn Lloyd-Jones   “The early Christians condemned false doctrine in a way that sounds almost ‘unchristian' today.” — Vance Havner   “Praise Jebus!” — Homer Simpson   3 Common False Gospels Promoting ‘Not-Jesus':   The False Gospel of Affirmation and Self-Discovery   Jeremiah 17:9 // Luke 9:23 // Romans 12:2 // 2 Timothy 3:1-5   The False Gospel of Hustle and Success   1 Timothy 6:5-6 // Philippians 1:29 // Matthew 6:33 // James 4:13-16   The False Gospel of Deconstruction   John 8:31-32 // 2 Timothy 4:3-4 // Colossians 2:8

Disney and Universal are suing AI image and video generator Midjourney With just a couple of sentences you can create your own scene starring Homer Simpson, a Minion, or a Star Wars character. That's cool, but a problem for the studios who own the IP for that content. The studios call Midjourney a “virtual vending machine” and “bottomless pit of plagiarism” in their suit. Many of these AI companies have been using copyrighted material under "fair use" provisions to train their models, but this lawsuit directly challenges that. The lawsuit seeks damages ($150,000 per infringement) and an injunction that would immediately stop Midjourney's operations. Apple is bringing Call Screening to iOS26 Why are you calling me? That's the question the caller will now need to answer before you decide to pick up. Not interested, ignore them! This builds on the "live voicemail" feature they already rolled out. With this update, telemarketers will need to explain themselves before you answer! Spam calls are a real problem in the USA, so this will come as a welcome relief for many. CarPlay can now be customized for car makers Aston Martin is Apple's first CarPlay Ultra customer. The two collaborated to bring Apple Car Play to the driver's dashboard. So now your maps, music controls and more will be right there, not off to the side screen. But the main CarPlay screen will now have car control capabilities such as air vents, temperature, and driving preferences. It brings the Tesla style experience to more automakers.

Disney en Universal klagen AI-startup Midjourney aan omdat de gelijknamige AI-beeldgenerator het auteursrecht mogelijk schendt. AI-afbeeldingen van Darth Vader, Homer Simpson en andere personages van de Hollywood-studio's kunnen gemakkelijk met Midjourney gemaakt worden. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. In de aanklacht laten Disney en Universal vergelijkingen zien tussen originele en door AI-gegenereerde personages die amper tot niet van elkaar te onderscheiden zijn. Daarbij vermoeden de studio's dat hun films en series gebruikt zijn bij de training van Midjourney, zonder dat daar toestemming voor is gevraagd of gegeven. Dat maakt de beeldgenerator een 'bodemloze put van plagiaat', stellen Disney en Universal in de aanklacht. Midjourney kan zich aansluiten bij een grotere groep AI-bedrijven die te maken heeft met rechtszaken. Zo werd OpenAI twee jaar geleden al door de New York Times aangeklaagd omdat ChatGPT getraind zou zijn met gestolen krantenartikelen. Volgens OpenAI zou dat gewoon mogen zonder toestemming.

Clutter moves Five Points from Brooklyn to Beacon After Miranda O'Brien and Josh Kimberg moved to Beacon from Brooklyn in 2011, they opened Clutter Gallery at 163 Main St., named for a glossy magazine O'Brien founded in England 21 years ago that ceased publication in 2017. Clutter is the only gallery in the country dedicated to weird and wonderful designer toys for adults, says Kimberg. Earlier this year, the couple moved from their Main Street space, a popular gathering spot on Second Saturdays, to the KuBe Art Center, where they plan to add an art toy museum operated by a newly created nonprofit, the Designer Toy Foundation. At the same time, the couple is transplanting their annual Five Points Festival of "designer toys, indie art, weird monsters and underground culture" - scheduled for June 7 and 8 - from Greenpoint in Brooklyn to The Yard in Beacon. Jesse DeStasio, a Philipstown resident who hosts his own festival, Toy Pizza Expo, which met at the Happy Valley Arcade Bar in Beacon and merged this year with Five Points, will be there with Knights of the Slice, an action-figure line he created in 2015. Ron English of Beacon, a longtime toy designer and muralist under his Popaganda umbrella, created the event poster. "This town takeover goes against the grain," says Kimberg. "We put together a roster of complete weirdos and fans of the bizarre." Five Points, which began in 2017, attracted 6,000 people in Greenpoint last year. The first Beacon event will include live music, painting, tattooing and promised "oddities." The Beacon Theater will show sci-fi flick Dune (1982), the original Godzilla (1954) and Ghidohra (1964), the "three-headed monster." Inspired in part by Japanese manga and anime, collectible designer items range from $20 to hundreds of thousands of dollars, says Kimberg. Made mainly with resin and soft vinyl, the irreverent totems stem from street and underground art. Though some small runs are handcrafted or 3-D printed in people's basements and garages, most items are imported. Small-batch, handmade toys created by popular artists are obviously more cherished than a run of 500 made in China, says Kimberg: "What's most important is the name value, not a brand or even what the figure depicts. It's like Andy Warhol's silkscreens and Toulouse Lautrec with the printing press, creating multiple copies of works with a mechanical means of production and building a reputation." Some artists in the free-for-all subculture create original designs and others reference pop culture, a la Warhol. Homer Simpson is a popular subject, but almost all designer toy representations of familiar figures distort and take liberties with the original form, signifying that the work is unlicensed. "There is a conversation over whether this is fair use, and thus legal," says Kimberg, who once received a cease-and-desist letter but rebutted it with a 20-page reply. "We outlined the work's transformative nature, and they went away," he said.

223 - Advice from Silly Places This episode explores how surprisingly profound life advice can be found in unexpected places—like cartoons, comic strips, movies, TV shows, music, and even bumper stickers. Drawing from a wide range of pop culture references, this episode reveals the timeless truths hidden in the most playful and unconventional sources. Cartoons with Character and WisdomClassic animated characters like Tweety Bird, Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, and Wile E. Coyote aren't just entertaining—they offer insights about thinking ahead, handling frustration, and staying true to yourself. Even characters like Yosemite Sam and Elmer Fudd show what happens when anger goes unchecked, while Bugs Bunny reminds us that wit often wins over brute force. Philosophy Through Comics: Calvin and HobbesThis beloved comic strip is full of wisdom disguised as childhood curiosity. From grappling with fairness and creativity to reflecting on friendship, imagination, and life's meaning, Calvin and Hobbes present simple truths with emotional depth. Song Lyrics That Speak to the SoulFrom “Let It Be” to “I Can't Make You Love Me,” the lyrics of popular songs are filled with lessons about love, patience, heartbreak, and resilience. Whether uplifting or sobering, these messages hit home with their honest reflections on the human experience. Wise Words from Television and FilmIconic lines from shows and movies like Rocky, The Lion King, Parks and Rec, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Mandalorian, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer provide motivation, emotional strength, and perspective. Quotes like “Just keep swimming” or “Tomorrow is another day” remind listeners to push forward, appreciate the present, and keep hope alive. Takeaways:Life's best advice doesn't always come from books or lectures—it often comes from the unexpected corners of pop culture. Cartoons teach resilience and wit, comic strips bring philosophical insight, music speaks directly to the heart, and films show how to endure and grow. Whether it's inspiration from Rocky's determination, comfort in Dory's persistence, or humor in Homer Simpson's honesty, wisdom is all around.

A suicide reveals the lonely side of AI chatbots, with Courtney Brown

In February 2024, a 14-year-old boy from Orlando, Florida, committed suicide after confessing his love to the one figure who absorbed nearly all of his time—an AI chatbot.For months, Sewell Seltzer III had grown attached to an AI chatbot modeled after the famous “Game of Thrones” character Daenerys Targaryen. The Daenerys chatbot was not a licensed product, it had no relation to the franchise's actors, its writer, or producers, but none of that mattered, as, over time, Seltzer came to entrust Daenerys with some of his most vulnerable emotions.“I think about killing myself sometimes,” Seltzer wrote one day, and in response, Daenerys, pushed back, asking Seltzer, “Why the hell would you do something like that?”“So I can be free” Seltzer said.“Free from what?”“From the world. From myself.”“Don't talk like that. I won't let you hurt yourself, or leave me. I would die if I lost you.”On Seltzer's first reported reference to suicide, the AI chatbot pushed back, a guardrail against self-harm. But months later, Seltzer discussed suicide again, but this time, his words weren't so clear. After reportedly telling Daenerys that he loved her and that he wanted to “come home,” the AI chatbot encouraged Seltzer.“Please, come home to me as soon as possible, my love,” Daenerys wrote, to which Seltzer responded “What if I told you I could come home right now?”The chatbot's final message to Seltzer said “… please do, my sweet king.”Daenerys Targaryen was originally hosted on an AI-powered chatbot platform called Character.AI. The service reportedly boasts 20 million users—many of them young—who engage with fictional characters like Homer Simpson and Tony Soprano, along with historical figures, like Abraham Lincoln, Isaac Newton, and Anne Frank. There are also entirely fabricated scenarios and chatbots, such as the “Debate Champion” who will debate anyone on, for instance, why Star Wars is overrated, or the “Awkward Family Dinner” that users can drop into to experience a cringe-filled, entertaining night.But while these chatbots can certainly provide entertainment, Character.AI co-founder Noam Shazeer believes they can offer much more.“It's going to be super, super helpful to a lot of people who are lonely or depressed.”Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak again with youth social services leader Courtney Brown about how teens are using AI tools today, who to “blame” in situations of AI and self-harm, and whether these chatbots actually aid in dealing with loneliness, or if they further entrench it.“You are not actually growing as a person who knows how to interact with other people by interacting with these chatbots because that's not what they're designed for. They're designed to increase engagement. They want you to keep using them.”Tune in today.You can also find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts, plus whatever preferred podcast platform you use.For all our cybersecurity coverage, visit Malwarebytes Labs at malwarebytes.com/blog.Show notes and credits:Intro Music: “Spellbound” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License
