The Aint Shit Show 94: All My Homies it's Ya Boi Ft. @robotson

RobotSon and I  go deep on this one and talk about welfare 3.0, and I get a little drinky on the pod.

A.S.S. All My Homies On Welfare 3.0

Artificial Intelligence has been slowly been making it's way into our homes and work places over the last serval decades, but recently questions have been raised about AI stealing and replicating art, and a new AI system, ChatGPT, is being banned in schools. Joining us to discuss the moral panic (and the hype) around these bots is AI Theorist Robin Zebrowski. We cover the issues of AI biases, facial recognition, data mining, and more. 

Robin Zebrowski is an AI theorist and a Professor of Cognitive Science at Beloit College. Her interdisciplinary research spans philosophy, psychology, and computer science. She works primarily on human concepts of embodiment, with applications in artificial intelligence, robotics, and cyborg theory. Her recent publications can be found here.

Can we build and interact with AI ethically?

Kate Wolf speaks with the writer and scholar McKenzie Wark about her latest book, Raving. Raving beckons readers onto the dance floors of underground parties in New York, combining Wark’s own vivid experience of these spaces with her theories of the rave itself. Wark considers the rave’s potential for a break in linear time, and its offering of a different mode of self-embodiment or self-abandon; its condition as a communion place for a variety of queer and trans bodies; its array of substances; and of course, its techno soundtrack. In the book’s six essays Wark moves seamlessly from autofiction to reportage to cultural critique, and invites the voices of other ravers along for the ride.
Also, Malcolm Harris, author of Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the World, returns once again to recommend Antony Loewenstein's The Palestine Laboratory.

**Cast chants with crowd:**

Love. Bot. Love. Bot. 

*Love. Bot. Love. Bot.* 

************************Cast Chorus:************************

L LL *M* 

large love language model

Sexy as a service

Genie in a bottle


L L L M 

Turn your Transformers on

Digitise my heart

Tell me who to want


**Bimbo:**

I'm **just** a dumb **hu**man

I don't know what's good for me


Lovebot help me out! 

Take my controls!

Help a square peg

Fit into my square hole!


**Cast sings** *************Chorus*************


**Lovebot:**

human! are you stuck

in a love local maximum?

your therapist can't help you,

so don't bother asking them.


you want to maximise the love

and minimise the drama?

i'll simulate your romance

and speedrun all the trauma


i'll show you sparks, and show you flames,

and show you how it ends!

that's not a functionality

built into your friends


it's better to have loved and lost

than never loved at all

but the optimal solution

is to let me make the call. 

*GO*

**Cast sings** *************Chorus*************

**Cast chants:**

Love. Bot. Love. Bot. 

*Love. Bot. Love. Bot.*

It's popular in literary circles to consider "autofiction" some sort of narcissistic, neoliberal fad. Done right, it’s the opposite. Autofiction, or what McKenzie Wark reframes as the 'autotextual', is a long tradition of writing in which the writer attempts to account, from within, for the historical circumstances that made them. Its experiments in accounting for subjectivity as a thing made by forces outside itself. 

"I think that's an important writerly method in an historical moment when the media that make us have become pervasive, distributed, and double as means of surveillance. Moreover, when almost everyone's textual product is being strip-mined by so-called AI to mimic the language of the human, it seems timely to look critically and intimately in what made us imagine we are humans in the first place." - McKenzie

Originally from Newcastle NSW, McKenzie Wark is a New York based writer and scholar specializing in media theory. Her books include A Hacker Manifesto, Gamer Theory and Raving. Her current project is provisionally titled From Writing to Texting. She teaches at The New School for Social Research.
