How do energy-hungry machine processes fit into a world full of #ecological and #social #challenges? Can we teach #machines to be #sustainable? Can #AI help shape a #greener future?

#News from #AI #research
: “How #ChatGPT
can benefit from #human #brains
- or how we teach #machines
to #think
”
The research is a true joint venture between #AI and #neuroscience, as the #data and #methods can directly contribute to the #improvement of #LLM, such as #ChatGPT, and #cognitive #neuroscience can also learn about the #use and #formation of #language in the #brain.

«#MX #Linux is the distro which brings life to that old #netbook that you have lying around. But it is not just a capable distro for reviving older #machines, it is also a damn good distro that just works. (...) It is probably the best low-resource #distro that still provides a fresh and modern experience.»

“The Silent Reordering: How China Builds While America Shouts”
by Pascal Lottaz in Pascal’s Substack on Substack
“The future won’t be won on battlefields, but on construction sites. And if the choice is between bombs or bridges, most of the world already knows what it wants. China isn’t rising because it’s aggressive, it’s rising because it's useful”
After more than half a century, a one-of-a-kind Chinese typewriter emerges from obscurity.

→ Turkey’s translators are training the AI tools that will replace them
https://restofworld.org/2025/turkeys-translators-training-ai-replacements/
“The trends are global. In November, the Netherlands’ largest publisher announced it would use AI to translate certain books, with humans only involved in light edits. In the UK, over a third of 12,500 translators said they have lost work to machines.”
The Uncanny Muse by David Hajdum, 2025
An acclaimed critic, journalist, and songwriter-musician tells the story of art's relation to machines, from the Baroque period to the age of AI.
What does it mean to be human in a world where machines, too, can be artists? The Uncanny Muse explores the history of automation in the arts and delves into one of the most momentous and controversial aspects of AI: artificial creativity.

Conférence disponible en ligne, libre accès :
Par notre collègue James Costa, sur le thème des machines, thème inépuisable et très ancien :
"Des langues inventées au télégraphe : technologies du langage et machines linguistiques sous la Révolution"
Avec l'histoire du télégraphe de Chappe (1790), précurseur d'Internet et de l'IA, James Costa nous rappelle que les machines aussi ingénieuses soient-elles prennent tout leur sens lorsqu'elles s'inscrivent dans un contexte humain, social et politique...

Hello Mastodon,
Here's my #introduction post.
Former #graphicdesigner and #webdeveloper at #OpenSourcePublishing, I gradually turned my practice to #textiledesign. Still exploring free and open source software, programming but in relation to many textile techniques.
My main practice is #knitting, #machineknitting and #visiblemending. But I love to explore any #fiberarts related #technique.
In 2020, I joined the #textile #fablab @GreenFabric in #brussels where I like to build / #hack #machines for textile.
In 2024, I joined the #Fabricademy programme ( #textile and #technology) where I made digitally knitted garments to bypass #CCTV #facerecognition.
I am now a Fabricademy instructor!
A little picture as intro: My Mother was a Computer. Title borrowed from media theoretician Katherine N. Hayles. This is the opening piece of a series of knitted portraits of women who played a major role in the history of computing.
I'm super happy to find back my old family here in Lurk/Mastodon (you know who you are :) ).
