  FIBROMYALGIA
  WHAT HELPS WHEN EVERYTHING HURTS?
  
  I don't know what's worse: the remarks claiming you are a malingerer or a hypochondriac, telling you to stop exaggerating; the constant disappointment with growing despair because you receive neither a diagnosis nor effective help; or the pain, exhaustion, and difficulty concentrating that turn everyday life into an obstacle course. Perhaps it is the combination of all of these, or the realization that it will never truly stop. Either way, you and I are here because we either suffer from fibromyalgia ourselves or watch a loved one suffer from this condition. Or maybe you are here simply because you are interested in the background of this subject – one way or another, you will find here what you are looking for.

  The Eye of the Master - A Social...

  A social history of AI that finally reveals its roots in the spatial computation of industrial factories and the surveillance of collective behaviour. 
   
   
   
  What is AI? A dominant view describes it as the quest "to solve intelligence," a solution supposedly to be found in the secret logic of the mind or in the deep physiology of the brain, such as in its complex neural networks. 
   
   
   
  The Eye of the Master argues, to the contrary, that the inner code of AI is shaped not by the imitation of biological intelligence, but the intelligence of labour and social relations, as it is found in Babbage's "calculating engines" of the industrial age as well as in the recent algorithms for image recognition and surveillance. 
   
   
   
  The idea that AI may one day become autonomous (or "sentient", as someone thought of Google's LaMDA) is pure fantasy. Computer algorithms have always imitated the form of social relations and the organisation of labour in their own inner structure and their purpose remains blind automation. 
   
   
   
  The Eye of the Master urges a new literacy on AI for scientists, journalists and new generations of activists, who should recognise that the "mystery" of AI is just the automation of labour at the highest degree, not intelligence per se. 
   
  This audiobook is expertly read by Dennis Kleinman, with audio engineering by Mike Thal. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, LLC, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
