Machine Habitus: Toward a Sociology of Algorithms
We commonly think of society as made of and by humans, but with the proliferation of machine learning and AI technologies, this is clearly no longer the case. Billions of automated systems tacitly contribute to the social construction of reality by drawing algorithmic distinctions between the visible and the invisible, the relevant and the irrelevant, the likely and the unlikely - on and beyond platforms.Drawing on the work of Pierre Bourdieu, this book develops an original sociology of algorithms as social agents, actively participating in social life. Through a wide range of examples, Massimo Airoldi shows how society shapes algorithmic code, and how this culture in the code guides the practical behaviour of the code in the culture, shaping society in turn. The 'machine habitus' is the generative mechanism at work throughout myriads of feedback loops linking humans with artificial social agents, in the context of digital infrastructures and pre-digital social structures.Machine Habitus will be of great interest to students and scholars in sociology, media and cultural studies, science and technology studies and information technology, and to anyone interested in the growing role of algorithms and AI in our social and cultural life.- Shop: buecher

Dealing With Fame , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 282min
It seems that just about everyone wants to be famous these days. Even if an individual has no talent there are countless television programs that will satisfy the apparent need to have their five minutes of fame. There are many others who do have talent and go on to have ten, twenty and even a few hours worth of fame. And of course there are the very few who have what it takes to make fame and celebrity last a lifetime and beyond. But what preparation do people have for what is going to happen to their life when fame comes knocking? My experience is that they have none. This book is not meant to be a serious attempt to prepare or instruct anyone on how to handle fame. Instead it looks at how some people cope with it better than others. After all fame is not an exact science. The point is that some people handle celebrity with ease and others crumble at the first sign of it. There are myriads of magazines and publications highlighting the lives of individual celebrities. The general public cannot get enough gossip about their favourite idols. But there are few books published about fame itself and the effects it can have on the unprepared wannabe. Dealing With Fame covers life before, during and after fame as well as looking at specific challenges and how they can be handled to avoid the downward spiral that leads many celebrities to drink, drugs and depression. ungekürzt.

Medical Marijuana: The Controversy of Medical Cannabis: The Self-Treating Patient Series, Book 10 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 91min
This book aims to raise awareness about the controversy of medical marijuana use. It should not be misconstrued as being opposed to, or in favor of the legalization of marijuana either for medical or recreational use. Myriads of books that are out there discuss, and even hype, about its healing properties. Nevertheless, also presented here is the dark side of the use of this substance. This is an objective presentation of both sides of the controversy. People form opinions, and it is an innate human prerogative. My exposure to all types of patients from all walks of life allowed me to see each one’s perspective without being judgmental. I am professed to heal and be an advocate for a patient’s well-being and quality of life. I share some of their struggles and little victories and hope that one person out there can be inspired and enlightened. Just one person. Then, the purpose of the Self-Treating Patient Book Series has been fulfilled. When conventional treatment falls short, people seek alternative interventions. It’s a choice. With every choice, however, comes consequences. The crux of the matter remains: When all else fails, we make choices. I choose to impart insight. Just a humble way of giving back and saying thank you to this gift we all enjoy, called “life”. Mеdiсаl marijuana, also known as mеdiсаl саnnаbiѕ, is used for trеаting patients who suffer frоm various ѕеriоuѕ and lifе-thrеаtеning diѕеаѕеѕ. It is used fоr hеrbаl аnd medical thеrару. Sinсе the ѕtаtе government legalized cannabis for medical use and trеаtmеnt, lots оf things wеrе ѕаid оn thiѕ lеgаlizаtiоn. Sоmе аrе in fаvоr of this mаrijuаnа lеgаlizаtiоn, while оthеrѕ hаvе different opinions аbоut it.However, this dеbаtе may not come to an end. Between activist groups, legislators, and medical rеѕеаrсhers who lock horns, the issue persists. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Lewis.

The Fake Food Epidemic , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 155min
Ultra-processed food is killing us! It's as plain as that. The fake food epidemic rages on with greater intensity and seriousness than ever before, we are left to wonder about one thing. If we, as a society, have become so dependent on the myriads of artificial, manufactured foods invading our lives, is there any hope for us? Fake food has become such an inextricable part of society today, that even minimally processed foods are not entirely free of fake elements. The truth of the matter is that food is simply grown and bred in a different manner on the industrial scale than it was in the past. People will argue about what food is fake and what is truly natural in this world of genetically aided, artificially fertilized, and unnaturally grown and bred sources of food. To help us decide the fakeness of a food product, in this book we will use the food categorization system developed by Carlos Monteiro, a professor in Nutrition and Public Health at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. This book includes amazing charts and tables that took hours upon hours of painstaking research in order to complete. You'll no doubt have your eyes opened to why things like obesity, diabetes, cancer and other terrible diseases continue to run rampant through the human race.
