Ah, but the recipe should exceed the bake, or what’s the next bake for.

It’s actually kind of sweet how gentle they are. It makes me wonder if the swords are fragile? I feel like this sport might be safer than competitive pillow fighting. The knights are getting punched in the head a lot, but it’s safely covered by a helmet at least, and the occasional gentle caress with a sword isn’t damaging anyone. The physical contact with another human being might actually be a net positive for these men. This sport could be how we solve the male loneliness epidemic! It’s ok for men to hug as long as there’s a suit of armor between them and they are technically trying to kill each other.

This does explain why IRGC didn't go burr on mines in response to Trump's boasts about sneaking ships through
Direct line from Washington to Doha
​The US Navy, which at the time presented a tough line and claimed it was blocking maritime exports and imports to Iran, was in fact operating a dual policy: With one hand it imposed a blockade, and with the other it allowed the financial oxygen tap to be opened through the Gulf route.
​President Donald Trump has even boasted in recent weeks that the US had succeeded in moving ships through the Strait of Hormuz despite the Iranian blockade. It now emerges that a significant share of those ships simply passed under that same secret arrangement.
​This deep economic activity turned out to be far more than mediation in negotiations. During the visit to Doha by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati, direct calls were held with Washington, with the US envoys overseeing the negotiations, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on the other side of the line.

Briefly: LLMs create social relations between their users and the authors of the text in their training corpora. With the right access to the model and the corpus, one can trace the connections from system output back to individual source texts and their authors (Grosse *et al.*, 2023). These social relations are mechanically mediated, giving users the illusion that they are interacting with just the machine and not an assemblage of people. But mediated social relationships and their illusions are a common fact of modern life. The social relations created by LLMs in turn cut across, and interact with, other social relations, including those shaped by other social technologies.
Our goal here is to clear a common space where the social sciences and computer science and engineering can discuss the social consequences of AI. We draw heavily on the ideas of Simon (1996), who saw AI, political science, administration, economics, computer science, and cognitive psychology as so many branches of the "sciences of the artificial," studying how human beings create "artifacts" that model, and act on, their environment. From this perspective, AI models are another means of "complex information processing" (Newell and Simon, 1956). As Simon emphasizes, such systems encompass both information technologies, as studied and built by computer scientists and
To understand how AI is reshaping society then, we can start by treating AI as a novel social technology, relying on coarse-grainings like all the others, and investigating how it interacts with existing social technologies. This integrates arguments over AI with older debates over the Long Industrial Revolution. Economic historians have documented how the transformation of human capacities to produce at scale over the last couple of centuries was facilitated by ‘general purpose technologies’ such as steam power and electricity. While many scholars have asked whether AI, too, is a general-purpose technology, they have paid less attention to the institutional aspects of the Industrial Revolution; most prominently the profound transformations in human capacity to organize economic, social, and political life, which enabled new technologies of production.
As STS scholars have consistently emphasized (Yates (1993) is particularly strong on this), bureaucratic innovations enabled the creation of new organizational structures that allowed for massive coordination. Classical liberal economists like Hayek have explored how large scale markets can compensate for the “computational limits of human beings.”
As STS scholars have consistently emphasized (Yates (1993) is particularly strong on this), bureaucratic innovations enabled the creation of new organizational structures that allowed for massive coordination. Classical liberal economists like Hayek have explored how large scale markets can compensate for the “computational limits of human beings,” Simon (1996, 35) allowing actors to make economic decisions on the basis of limited local information. Social scientists like Anderson (1991) and Gellner (1983) have debated how “print-capitalism,” the articulation of the nation state, and new forms of schooling and information dissemination made large scale publics (crudely) legible to themselves as well as their rulers, potentially stabilizing both democracy and responsive autocracy.
All these systems generate, and rely on, coarse-grainings. Bureaucratic standards and statistics summarize complex social realities and make them legible, for better and for worse (Scott, 1998). The price mechanism radically simplifies the intangible aspects of economic production, allowing market actors to devote their attention to buying and selling (Hayek, 1945). Opinion surveys, censuses, and other means simplify public opinion and
