Big concerns grow from small concerns. You plant them, water them with tears, fertilize them with unconcern. If you ignore them, they grow.

I wrote about crying mathematicians, mean smart machines, and the emergence of technological grief, as a rapidly improving intelligence makes violent contact with a modern sensibility that prizes human intellect and often equates it with purpose, dignity, and self-worth.

The goal isn’t to replace the work of humans. It’s to make a case for its devaluation.

Social media was an imperfect public sphere, but it was at least largely public. We are getting mass media without a mass audience, and broadcasters without accountability. We regulated the last era of centralized attention. The question now is whether we have the political courage to do so again.

What is replacing it marks a recentralization of allocation of attention: from networks to models. In effect, a return to broadcast, but without the regulatory structures we built around the broadcast paradigm.

The social media paradigm rested on a simple bargain: users supplied the content, and users distributed it. Attention flowed through networks of friends and followers, competing for attention under the rules defined by the platforms.

Broadly, I am using fascism as term for what are, effectively, authoritarian ethno-nationalist movements with reactionary or revanchist (or both) aims. (For those who want to hold to a narrower definition: remember it needs to capture not just Hitler and Mussolini but also Franco and Salazar.)
