Project announcement (tell the world):

@marijetabozovic and I are enormously excited to announce:

Imagining Russian Hackers:
Myths of Men and Machines

hackersinitiative.yale.edu

1/ #russhack
Thus begins phase one of this multi-year public research initiative--which @MarijetaBozovic and I are co-leading with a completely crack team of Yale doctoral researchers and some of the smartest people we know--in studying Russian hackers as a media phenomenon....

2/ #russhack
Who is afraid of Russian hackers?
Why are good hackers so hard to find?
(And Russians, perhaps doubly so?)

(The usual replies need not bother.)

3/ #russhack
Please click around for more project framing, the team's bios, a working bibliography, hints at future events, and (if you'd like to register) roughly a workday of video interviews with ridiculously bright folks interested in the topic.

Thread on #computerfire contributors (my summaries).



Why is tech smoldering? What is to be done?



Read Your Computer is on Fire: new book launch & readings TOMORROW, Tuesday March 9, 2021 at 5 pm EST. Register: mitpress.mit.edu/books/your-com…


1/ Happy IntWomen'sDay!
In “the Cloud is a Factory” @nensmenger launches the first section “nothing is virtual” with the cloud being coal-powered: Amazon, like Sears before it, organizes trust, bodies, and matter across the global carbon chains that is computing.



2/ #cloudfactory #computerfire
In “Your AI is a Human” @ubiquity75 powers through how minimum-wage laborers stand in, unacknowledged, for almost every promise of AI to date. Smart algorithms, commercial content moderation, social media? Don’t be fooled: tech is people.
