Embodied practice informed by Roden’s speculative posthumanism does not presuppose accelerationism. Even accelerationism as a Gaisho (conceptual formation) already lags behind real operations.

And I think people didn't know how to engage because I blatantly called Japan a self infantilising eternal victim, made a case for China's posthumanism and discussed Korea's claims to memorial justice that are being disregarded, like there was so much to talk about

My understanding of posthumanism has become clearer, including our responsibilities toward nonhuman life and how we approach synthetic beings.

Posthumanism recognizes that humans and technology are interconnected and influence how we think, learn, and communicate. It does not mean humans are becoming machines or being replaced by them, but that technology plays an active role in shaping our experiences.

Thomas Jenkins argues that the Gothic monsters attempt to diminish a sense of the human as a body with interiority, and instead view them as just another border to breach and invade.

Hello everyone -- I'm belatedly leaving Meta where I stayed because of the Sinologists group and friends that I don't get to see often enough in real life. Tell me whom I should follow on Bluesky and what communities I can learn from!

The best book on #transhumanism I've read was written by a #posthumanist. Two years before the #AI boom, Francesca Ferrando and I asked if the human/transhuman line is real, and whether tech utopias are the White Man's Burden in new clothes. Then read her book. snglrty.co/41LqeeH

I read this for AI-critical reasons, but it's always fun to have side helpings of classical reception AND feminist posthumanism.

Pygmalion Displacement: When Humanising AI Dehumanises Women. doi.org/10.31235/osf...
Figure 1: Pygmalion and Galatea; painting by the French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, c. 1890. The reader is invited to notice the immediate sexual nature of the sculpture and scene generally; and to attend to the fact that even Galatea’s upper body, which seems to be coming to life, is depicted as particularly paler than that of Pygmalion. This is in accordance with certain renditions of the myth, in which she is sculpted from ivory (Mayor 2018). (Image is in the Public Domain.) Figure 2: This figure depicts, in the style of a printed circuit board, a timeline of events (many with related images) that involve Pygmalion displacement in one form or another. On the left in pink, fictional instances of women’s and automata’s intertwined identities; from 1901 at the top to today’s film and television series at the bottom. On the right in green, historical individuals or artefacts. Here, we see the feminised job of ‘computer’ in the 1890s (at the top) survive for almost a century, until the 1960s start reframing women from being seen as naturally equipped to perform computations to being seen as technologically incapable, like Pacific Data Systems (1964), with sexualised imagery and gendered language to advertise the PDS 1020 to men, and/or being seen as replaceable, like the Electronic Secretary or Sophia. (All images are in the public domain or used with permission.) For a given technosocial relationship between AI and people, if one or more of the answers are “Yes”, then we can conclude that (an aspect of) Pygmalion displacement is occurring, which is damaging to women, and the feminised broadly construed. If not, then the lens does not apply, and we remain agnostic as to gendered or other harm within this framework. Our proverbial lens should be taken inter alia to be akin to an optical lens which allows for the eye to see more details than when naked, as depicted in the line drawing below. 1) Feminised form: Is the AI, by its (default or exclusive) external characteristics, portraying a hegemonically feminine character? 2) Whitened form: Is the AI, by its (default or exclusive) external characteristics, portraying a character that is inherently white (supremacist), Western, Eurocentric, etc.? 3) Dislocation from work: Does the AI displace women from a role or occupation, or people in general from a role or occupation that tends to be (coded as) women’s work? 4) Humanisation via feminisation: Are the AI’s claims to intelligence, human-likeness or personhood contingent on stereotypical feminine traits or behaviours? 5) Competition with women: Is the AI pit (rhetorically or otherwise) against women in ways that favour it, and which are harmful to women? 6) Diminishment via false equivalence: Does the AI facilitate a rhetoric that deems women as not having full intellectual abilities, or as otherwise less deserving of personhood? 7) Obfuscation of diversity: Does the AI, through displacement of specific groups of people, “neutralise” (i.e., whiten, masculinise) a role, vocation, or skill? 8) Robot rights: Do the users and/or creators of the AI grant it (aspects of) legal personhood or human(-like) rights? 9) Social bonding: Do the users and/or creators of the AI develop interpersonal-like relationships with it? 10) Psychological service: Does the AI function to subserve and enhance the egos of its creators and/or users?
