"À chaque fois que Meta fait un pas en avant pour le bien public, il en fait 3 en avant pour ses propres bénéfices". J'ai discuté à la radio du procès de Meta, et comme vous vous en doutez, je n'y vois rien de bien utile pour nos droits et usages! ici.radio-canada.ca/ohdio/premie...

I am proud to announce the publication this summer of our article: "𝗜𝗻𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆: 𝗔𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗨𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘆” published as open access in 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, for the special issue “Beyond Verification” ijoc.org/index.php/ij...

Astroturfing is a process of manipulating authenticity to legitimize and give the appearance of sincerity to the communication activities of various organizations. This process fits into digital affective capitalism, in which affective communications lead to the creation of profiles that seem authentic and the circulation of discourse that seems sincere. Building on a critical review of the literature, we develop a matrix model that situates online astroturfing practices on a continuum between authentic and inauthentic publics, with organizations engaging in either sincere or insincere discourse and actions. We position online astroturfing within the broader question about the development of a digital affective economy. Using three cases, we revisit our model to show the forms of digital affective labor used to construct inauthenticity.

40 millions pour des équipements dont les spécialistes sont unanimes pour dire qu’ils ne se servent quasiment à rien ! Raz le bol des dirigeant•es incultes en sciences sociales et gâcheurs/ses d’impôts ! 😡 ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/227...

Je suis très embêté par la fonction IA de Google, car elle répond souvent de manière redoutablement efficace à des questions qu'on n'a même pas posées. Et de fait ça dispense souvent de cliquer pour aller vérifier ce qu'on vient de lire.

Ce post s'adresse aussi aux biologistes français : on a tendance à percevoir cette résurgence comme purement US/UK, mais les sciences racistes et eugénistes reviennent partout dans le monde. La pseudo-neutralité est une forme d'inaction et de laisser-faire. On a le devoir de monter au créneau.

If you're a biologist, especially one in a field that has a history of eugenics and racism (which absolutely includes my own field of evolutionary biology) and you choose to remain "neutral" as race science once again crawls out from under its rock, you are not in fact neutral.

It's official! I'm *permanently* banned from X for tweeting "TLDR: Fascism." (appeal denied) What an honor—and a sign that the Silicon Valley billionaires feel threatened by my book. (One of my final viral posts featured this cover.) Pre-order here! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

Cover for Gil Duran's forthcoming book, "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War On Democracy." Red background with computer circuitry, words in black and white letters.

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” - Archbishop Desmond Tutu One side wants fascism. The other side wants healthcare as a human right. To even attempt to conflate the two is absurd.
