The Macedonian Orthodox Church – Archbishopric of Ohrid. An Autocephaly in Progress2023 •
In the age of nationalism, the secular state emerged as an important factor in the building of new autocephalous Orthodox Churches. This pattern can be also observed in the case of the Orthodox Church in the Republic of North Macedonia. The development of this ecclesiastical body, however, is marked by a peculiarity that distinguishes it from the other national Orthodox Churches. To grasp it, one has to go way back down into history. The article discusses: the pre-modern autocephalies in the territory of North Macedonia; the development of the Orthodox Church in Macedonia (1912-1944); the Macedonian autocephaly issue in Tito's Yugoslavia; the autocephaly question in Post-Yugoslav Macedonia.
Evolved language models can be considered cultural machines, as they produce culture in the form of common sense (O'Neil 2017; Noble, 2018; Zona & De Castro, 2020) and, at the same time, devices ideological, as they bring the dominant ideology into emergence. This is why their use (and that of artificial intelligence more generally) poses a gigantic educational problem. In agreement with scholars like Timnit Gebru, rather than questioning the possibility of machines becoming sentient, we should focus our attention on the way in which algorithms are trained, which use words - and, consequently, convey meanings - that they do not choose themselves, but which are transferred to them by the designers (Vygotsky, 2008; Zona & De Castro, 2022). It is precisely because of generalisation errors and the perpetual recombination of information on the Web that supervised and pre-trained models through Skinnerian reinforcement - such as, for instance, ChatGPT or, in the case of the research we will present here, text-to-image-models such as AI Text Generator - can become the mouthpiece of racist, sexist, and racist expressions and representations. I modelli linguistici evoluti possono essere considerati macchine culturali, in quanto producono cultura sotto forma di senso comune (O’Neil 2017; Noble, 2018; Zona & De Castro, 2020) e, al contempo, dispositivi ideologici, poiché portano in emersione l’ideologia dominante. Per questo motivo il loro utilizzo (e quello dell’intelligenza artificiale più in generale) pone un gigantesco problema educativo. In accordo con studiose come Timnit Gebru, più che interrogarci sulla possibilità che le macchine possano divenire senzienti, dovremmo concentrare la nostra attenzione sulle modalità di addestramento degli algoritmi, i quali utilizzano parole – e, di conseguenza, veicolano significati – che non scelgono autonomamente, ma che vengono loro trasferiti dai progettisti (Vygotskij, 2008; Zona & De Castro, 2022). È proprio a causa di errori di generalizzazione e della ricombinazione perpetua di informazioni presenti in Rete che modelli supervisionati e preaddestrati attraverso il rinforzo skinneriano – come, ad esempio, ChatGPT o, nel caso della ricerca che presenteremo in questa sede, Text-to-image-model come AI Text Generator – possono farsi portavoce di espressioni e rappresentazioni razziste, sessiste e, più in generale, discriminatorie.
