• Rhizome Today
  This is Rhizome Today for Friday, December 5, 2014. Rhizome Today is an experiment in ephemeral BLOG ing: a series of posts that are written hastily in response to current events, and usually taken offline within a day or so. The latest post can always be found at rhizome.org/today.  "I am a human being, not an algorithm."—Kristy Milland, Amazon Mechanical Turk worker Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is a marketplace for rote yet hard-to-automate tasks, what Amazon calls Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs). Anyone can sign up as a Worker to complete a HIT or as a Requester to submit one.* MTurk workers, known as Turkers, have begun sending emails directly to CEO Jeff Bezos, introducing themselves and asking for fair treatment. The idea for the email campaign came to light in a forum thread on Dynamo, a platform for Turkers run by a group of human-computer interaction researchers at Stanford and the University of California, San Diego. Over 350 workers (out of more than half a million) have signed up to participate. In their address to Bezos, Dynamo Turkers articulate the following principles: Turkers are human beings, not algorithms, and should be marketed accordingly. Turkers should not be sold as cheap labour, but instead skilled, flexible labour which needs to be respected. Turkers need to have a method of representing themselves to Requesters and the world via Amazon. In one letter, a Turker named Mills writes: With the original mechanical turk, a chess master was hidden inside. The "automaton" was praised, but it was the person behind the scenes who did the real work. I hope Amazon and requesters alike will grow to understand that this unseen workforce is important. Without it, neither the original nor current Mechanical Turk would be anything but an empty shell. How much work, paid and unpaid, is atomized, anonymized, and embedded in our online platforms? I'm heartened that, in the face of ever-mounting precarity, Turkers and other workers are organizing themselves,

• MrSpeakers Aeon Headphones Review
  Performance Build Quality Comfort Value PRICE $799 AT A GLANCE Plus Closed-back, planar magnetic design Made in San Diego, California Beautifully balanced sound Minus Non-standard connectors on the earcups THE VERDICT The Aeon are a game changer for MrSpeakers. Their least expensive headphones might be their most accomplished design. I meet a lot of audiophiles who flat out refuse to give headphones a chance. They go on about the headphones they bought in college when Michael Jackson released Thriller and wont even try the new breed of phones. This one here, the MrSpeakers Aeon, might be the headphones that turn them around. The complete packagethe sound, the shape, the smooth feel of the carbon fiber earcups, the luxuriously thick earpads, and best of all, the pricemight win over even the most curmudgeonly of resistors.
