Ah well, I disagree. I think intersubjectivity is inherent to truth telling and that makes humans (because of their subjective similarities) relatively privileged in terms of telling truth to each other. (Admittedly a controversial take.)

The empirical world is intersubjective phenomena constituted by transcendental intersubjectivity whose causality can't be objectified adequately mathematically or otherwise because it is impossible to objectify that which projects all objectivity. Hence, all math models are incomplete and transitory

there is a sad irony in that the majority of the people I know working on embodied ecological cognition do not engage in much embodied activity; and that folk working on intersubjectivity are often quite isolated

I think it’s just baseline human supremacy actually. In her 2020 paper there’s a section that insists that human intersubjectivity is how meaning is learned by human children, and machines can’t do that (because they’re not a subject). Words like “understanding” must be reserved for what humans do.

_Agentic Aesthetics_ is the newest edition of Net Aesthetics, the panel series Rhizome has run since 2005 to capture where artists stand on internet culture at a given moment. It takes place at the New Museum Theater on Wednesday, with a free livestream. Rhizome's announcement opens on a line from a 1979 IBM training manual: a computer can never be held accountable, so a computer must never make a management decision. The subject is agentic AI, systems that act on their surroundings and on user input with some autonomy.
Ian Cheng is the panelist closest to games. Cheng's live simulations, including the _Emissaries_ trilogy and _BOB (Bag of Beliefs)_ , are made in a game engine and run as agents that pursue their own goals without a script, so viewers watch behavior rather than a story.
The second session pairs Cheng with Lynn Hershman Leeson, whose chatbot and avatar works go back to the 1990s, the artist and machine-learning educator Gene Kogan, and Franco Mattes, half of Eva and Franco Mattes, whose cursed cat image now breeds inside AI training data. Rhizome's Michael Connor moderates. The first session launches _Intersubjectivity IV: Network Affect_ (Sternberg Press), with editors Kolja Gläser and Adina Glickstein and presentations by Bogna Konior and Dawn Chan. The last edition, _Neural Net Aesthetics_ , ran in 2023.
Killscreen follows the artists who treat simulations and agents as a medium, not a product. The free Radar newsletter finds the next one for you, three times a week.

Jean Klucinskas gaslights Gadamer's constitutional intersubjectivity to weaponize unilevel disintegration at #UBishops, assaulting the actualization of the potential of Canada's "positive moral obligation to protect the life and security of the person of its citizens" (Gosselin v. Quebec, 2002).

Music & film have often been studied separately, despite both being powerful emotional media. Here we explore how embodied cognition connects musicology, film studies & neuroscience: how sound and movement work together to shape our emotional experiences of cinema.

Yeah, I'm more of a scaling continuum of capacity for reasoning and reactive emotion* sort. Souls just ...have never made sense to me.
* As we're painfully aware, intersubjectivity in humans is as variable as any other trait or capacity

TIL the origin image of the classic Bluesky meme is from a real book called Intersubjectivity and the Double: Troubled Matters by Brian Seitz.
![Grey-blue wash image showing a short-haired bearded white bloke in a mid-grey Henley shirt (long sleeve scoop neck 3 buttons) and dark braces (US: suspenders) from behind on the right side, his left hand on the glass, looking at his reflection which is centre place in the large framed mirror before him.
He has the look of someone comprehending a profound error.
Like Ryan Gosling realising he's sharted in public

![[blurb] This book extends philosophy’s engagement with the double beyond hierarchized binary oppositions. Brian Seitz explores the double as a necessary ontological condition or figure that gets represented, enacted, and performed repeatedly and in a myriad of configurations. Seitz suggests that the double in all of its forms is simultaneously philosophy’s shadow, its nemesis, and the condition of its possibility. This book expands definitions and investigations of the double beyond the confines of philosophy, suggesting that the concept is at work in many other fields including politics, cultural narratives, literature, mythology, and psychology. Seitz approaches the double by means of a series of case studies and by engaging loosely in eidetic variation, a methodological maneuver borrowed from phenomenology. The book explores the ways in which wide-ranging instances of the double are connected by the dynamics of intersubjectivity.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2kf2qj56o2vq7jfaq4x4ogp6/bafkreih6gnedimgrvtwl3gq7e44ecsrf76mdsvbcqpxhvyxxgopxzfwxtu)

Relational intersubjectivity can replace atomism without replacing agency. Individuals are not origins without histories. They are places where histories become acts.

Which of course highlights the question of who draws the diagram.
Relational intersubjectivity is beautiful, and I think it’s a more powerful model than what we’ve got, but it is not a panacea, and it has one very obvious weak spot.
Actions are performed through individuals qua individuals.

The crisis in tech is ultimately a crisis of intersubjectivity. I'll bang this drum forever but I consider AI tech of this sort as arising from the historical logics underpinning social media, attention economy, influencing, etc down the line instead of some new, bespoke thing all its own.
