Do AIs have politics? Thinking about ChatGPT through the work of Langdon Winner
Since at least the 1960s, scholars, pundits and the general public have been worried about AI hype – the tendency to project more power, agency and intelligence on AI than it really has. To counter this tendency, academics often warn against anthropomorphizing AI or assuming that its impacts on society are inevitable. While these are sensible cautions, taken too far, they risk ignoring the way the design of AI actually can shape and condition how…
Fatal asymmetries: The conflicting relationship between political institutions and natural selection
In Descent of Man , Charles Darwin noted the impact of political institutions on natural selection. He thought that institutions such as asylums or hospitals may deter natural selection; however, he did not reach a decisive answer. Questions remain as to whether the selective impacts of political institutions, which in Darwin's terms may be referred to as "artificial selection," are compatible with natural selection, and if so, to what extent. Th…

Policing Dissent: Social Control and the Anti-Globalization Movement
In November 1999, fifty-thousand anti-globalization activists converged on Seattle to shut down the World Trade Organization’s Ministerial Meeting. Using innovative and network-based strategies, the protesters left police flummoxed, desperately searching for ways to control the emerging anti-corporate globalization movement. Faced with these network-based tactics, law enforcement agencies transformed their policing and social control mechanisms t…
Revisión de la secuencia cultural Orosí-Tempisque de la Gran Nicoya: Nuevos datos provenientes de las excavaciones del sitio Manzanillo (G-430 Mz)
Se presenta aquí una discusión sobre la periodización cultural a la luz de las excavaciones en el sitio Manzanillo entre 2007 y 2009. Se interpreta la estratificación cultural del yacimiento que comprende los periodos regionales Orosí y Tempisque. Se discuten estos puntos relevantes: 1- La fase Loma B como la ocupación inicial de la bahía Culebra; 2- la conexión entre los complejos Tronadora y Loma B, 3- la secuencia de los periodos Tempisque-Bag…
Umap , inteligencia colectiva extraída de las redes sociales
The Umap project is a practical attempt to obtain collective intelligence from the flow of social networks: links that users share are analyzed, filtered and rated, making it feasible to convert collective intelligence into structured information. For example, information, comments and links that are shared by users belonging to a certain community –e. g., linguistic, social, thematic, organizational- are analyzed in real time to obtain trends at…

Darwin, artificial selection, and poverty: Contemporary implications of a forgotten argument
This paper argues that the processes of evolutionary selection are becoming increasingly artificial, a trend that goes against the belief in a purely natural selection process claimed by Darwin's natural selection theory. Artificial selection is mentioned by Darwin, but it was ignored by Social Darwinists, and it is all but absent in neo-Darwinian thinking. This omission results in an underestimation of probable impacts of artificial selection up…
Contemporary Anarchist Studies: An Introductory Anthology of Anarchy in the Academy
Anarchism, as humanism, is today more relevant than ever, more than at the time of its delivery to the labor movement, more than during the outbursts of heroic rebellion, more than in the era of its exemplary role during the war. It finds its resurgence in modern thought, philosophy, and sociology; among economists and thinkers of all languages and climates; in the nonconformist youth that is shaking the old pillars of society that refuses to be …

La viola de cocho du Mato Grosso
La viola de cocho (litteralement, « luth en forme d’auge») est l’instrument principal de trois danses populaires du Mato Grosso, plus precisement de la region de Cuiaba : le cururu, le siriri et la danca de Sᾶo Goncalo. Cet article s’inspire, en partie, du seul travail approfondi existant sur le sujet, soit la these de Julieta de Andrade, Cocho Matogrossense : um alaude brasileiro (1981). En effet, si l’instrument n’apparait pratiquement pas dans…
