Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this article, I will focus primarily on how Instagram has been used as a means of public control by rewarding the continuous projection of a relentlessly positive self-image. Furthermore, the article will discuss the performative nature of the Instagram platform and how it facilitates the subjugation of women by creating a flirty-and-fun frictionless space that turns their bodies, thoughts and feelings into commodities. Left unchecked, smooth platforms like Instagram provide a distraction that delays society’s dealings with the present. To conclude this article will present a selection of Instagram artists whose projects encourage us to think critically about the smooth as a demonstration of how women might combat this force of nature.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
