One must wonder if Anna Kornbluh was being too generous with her academic and ultimately neutral use of the word "immediacy".
The way these bigcorps and frontier labs are going, it seems the intent is more dismediation leading to a dismediacy presented as immediacy
![You are Emma Moore-Santee, statistician. And you just did the impossi-
ble. Generations of mathematicians, computer scientists and even physicists
since Shannon had deemed it impossible—a folly to even attempt. Yet here
you were, defying the gods of probability. Of course you didn’t do it alone.
Through thought-prompting discussions with your long-time partner Travis,
you had proved a most astounding theorem about statistical moments, laid out
as follows:
Given the kth moment of a density function f (x) is defined as follows:
[maths formula]
The infiniteth moment of S — a concept so abstract it had never been mea-
sured — was not just a statistical curiosity but a window into the fundamental
symmetries of probability itself. Specifically it describes the total-tailedness
of the density function’s distribution. For the mathematically-challenged, this
meant nothing. But they should take heed. The implication of this proof was
nothing short of world changing.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zikwmjlg6tdip5lixl3ic65q/bafkreighbzkbwhj5bn2nfn6dv4h4pw5bmnpjznahxshenyuwv7l4jloj3y)
