Kurtis Clark<p>In a few days, I will share—and I'm incredibly excited about this—a short essay regarding the Algorithmic Sabotage Research Group (<span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/@asrg" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>asrg</span></a></span>), focusing on the aesthetic qualities and functional dynamics of ‘Algorithmic Sabotage’—a critical concept that highlights the collective politics of refusal, agency, and resistance and epitomises class-based mobilisation against the dominant technofascist agenda and the algorithmic foreclosure of the future.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AlgorithmicSabotage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlgorithmicSabotage</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Technopolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Technopolitics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ASRG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ASRG</span></a></p>

Ab.Co :skull_spinning:<p>MANIFESTO ON “ALGORITHMIC SABOTAGE”</p><p>By the Algorithmic Sabotage Research Group (<span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/@asrg" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>asrg</span></a></span>)</p><p>“To create? No, to destroy, destroy and destroy again, whatever the strength left in these muscles allows. Because destruction is the power that is left. The only thing worth a penny. Everything else will pass and be gone. Only their destruction will last. It’s a paradox with few equivalents. The young and capable of building new worlds, those who for years, on a daily basis, laid the foundations of faith for a better humanity, must now make hasty action, sabotage, destruction, the supreme achievements of life.” — Anonymous Partisan</p><p>The Manifesto on “Algorithmic Sabotage” is structured around ten propositions, numbered from 0 to 9, each delineating the underlying principles, strategic approaches, and aesthetic manifestations that constitute the critical concept of “algorithmic sabotage” within the continuously shifting and intricately intersecting contexts of digital culture and information technology. The document seeks not only to advance a robust, methodologically coherent framework—serving as a structural foundation for militant and tactically assertive resistance, agency, and refusal, in conjunction with strategically prefigurative and critically interventionist technopolitical orientations—but also to disseminate radical theoretical perspectives and criticism, emanating from the transformative impetus of insurrectionary desire. The “Manifesto” embodies the uncompromising trajectory of a political theory that persistently and ambidirectionally turns discourse into praxis, firmly asserting its presence within the tumultuous dynamics of contemporary liberation struggles.</p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AlgorithmicSabotage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlgorithmicSabotage</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Technopolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Technopolitics</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/RadicalTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RadicalTech</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/TacticalRefusal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TacticalRefusal</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/LudditeFutures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LudditeFutures</span></a></p><p>:02lurk: <a href="https://algorithmic-sabotage.github.io/asrg/manifesto-on-algorithmic_sabotage/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">algorithmic-sabotage.github.io</span><span class="invisible">/asrg/manifesto-on-algorithmic_sabotage/</span></a></p>

Srijit Kumar Bhadra<p>The Manifesto on "Algorithmic Sabotage" [1] is a text that provides a set of principles and techniques for combating and undermining the influence and impact of harmful algorithms on society.</p><p>The manifesto is organised into ten propositions that address various areas of algorithmic sabotage. These arguments range from arguing for a sort of counter-power based on community strength to emphasising the value of solidarity and mutual aid over individual profit. It also emphasises the importance of challenging the capitalist ideology that lives on human misery by committing acts of subversion against modern forms of algorithmic tyranny.</p><p>The manifesto encourages people to take action against harmful or oppressive algorithms, rather than passively accepting them. This can include taking direct action, such as disrupting or disabling these algorithms, as well as more indirect measures, such as raising awareness and educating others about the issues.</p><p>The review of the Manifesto on "Algorithmic Sabotage" by Dwayne Monroe [2] is worth reading.</p><p>1. <a href="https://algorithmic-sabotage.github.io/asrg/manifesto-on-algorithmic_sabotage/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">algorithmic-sabotage.github.io</span><span class="invisible">/asrg/manifesto-on-algorithmic_sabotage/</span></a><br>2. <a href="https://monroelab.com/2024/04/02/manifesto-on-algorithmic-sabotage-a-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">monroelab.com/2024/04/02/manif</span><span class="invisible">esto-on-algorithmic-sabotage-a-review/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AlgorithmicSabotage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlgorithmicSabotage</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Algorithm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Algorithm</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Algorithms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Algorithms</span></a></p>

katzenberger 🇺🇦<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@kissane" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>kissane</span></a></span> </p><p>(3/5) There is no "societal refusal to take on the responsibilities of governing our increasingly complex commons", it's just that what you describe as "Facebook but open-source and federated" looks like the much better alternative for many, despite it also being differently bad, as you say. It is both the acknowledgment that you "can't fix people problems" with software (that you should even engage in <a href="https://mastodon.de/tags/AlgorithmicSabotage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlgorithmicSabotage</span></a>); and that the existence of "many places" may not resolve them all, but is required as a safeguard against global feasibility fantasies.</p><p>We try to partially solve these problems by strategies leaning on the principle of subsidiarity that has both served humans well, with respect to protecting smaller entities from being steamrolled by larger ones; and done harm, too, by giving power without accountability, in many cases.</p><p>To use an (unappetizing) image: "global solutions" lead to everybody walking up to their ankles in manure, because a majority decided "they" can tolerate it, so "everybody" can, up to that height. "Federated" solutions lead to a pattern of absolute cesspits in some places, and relatively dry floors in others. Establishing boundaries, also against "design globalists" infringing upon subsidiarity, is crucial. Less figuratively, my instinct tells me to e.g. prefer a landscape with some defederated Nazi server instances over a landscape with Nazis spilling to everywhere, that are allowed to say barely legal things, because of the "barely".</p>

L’objectif du texte n’est pas seulement une diffusion théorique de la résistance et du refus algorithmiques militants, mais la diffusion d'une théorie/critique radicale qui découle de l’énergie d’un désir insurrectionnel.
