The media outlets that are breaking all of these Irregular incidents into separate headlines and making it sound like all of these companies are making Terminator film-like strides are participating in the political project of AI, just as many are participating in Trumpian fascism.

When you hear a fantastical story about AI, you should ask yourself, "How does this serve the political project of AI?" Because, as others have pointed out, that's what AI really amounts to: a political project.

People are actually pretty difficult to kill! They don’t just sit still and die off! They tend to fight back or run away and they’re frankly pretty good at surviving. It feels like there’s a kind of spiritual death of faith in human capacity for life that is being projected into reality here.

A beautiful thing in academia is the chance to meet and learn from smart people across disciplines, and let conversations simmer, allowing ideas to emerge and take shape. This was a great piece to write with a great team. Thanks to @ctwittekind.bsky.social and Elizabeth Resor for leading the charge!

Great few days in Glasgow - which made London’s climate feel tropical in comparison - where I absorbed as much as I could from people researching infrastructure across Eurasia

I've always been a bit wary of conjunctural analysis (for various reasons), but this paper by @apiletic.bsky.social makes an evocative, erudite and painfully accurate case for its importance by centering the horrific urbicide of Gaza. Well worth a read.
