Because some misunderstood? This thread *celebrates* media theory's key intervention: From R Williams to Kittler to Terranova to Zylinska, showcasing an ever-ongoing assemblage, never reducible to "medium," always upsetting "theory." So it's funny to call it "media theory"🤷‍♂️🐬😍

the concept of "media theory" is wildly misleading and decades out of date. a zombie concept, based on a misleading generalisation from film, literary, and critical theories. here's why: 1/8

Debating whether today's AI tools are truly intelligent is about as useful as debating whether a drone is a bird. If you define a bird to be anything of a certain size that flies, then sure. But it's also obvious that drones can't do most of the other things that birds can do.
