Maybe AI is just the thickest vaporware ever concocted.

This Hayles quote is never not relevant:

What are we to make of Janet F., this sign of the repressed, this Freudian slip of a female who, with a flick of a "u" (the U-shaped table at which she sits?), goes from Freed to Freud, Freud to Freed? Thinking of'her, I am reminded of Dorothy Smith's suggestion that men of a certain class are prone to decontextualization and reification because they are in a position to command the labors of others.
59 "Take a letter, Miss Freed," he says. Miss
Contesting for the Body of Information 1 83
Freed comes in. She gets a lovely smile. The man speaks, and she writes on her stenography pad (or perhaps on her stenography typewriter). The man leaves. He has a plane to catch, a meeting to attend. When he returns, the letter is on his desk, awaiting his signature. From his point of view, what has happened? He speaks, giving commands or dictating words, and things happen. A woman comes in, marks are inscribed onto paper, letters appear, conferences are arranged, books are published. Taken out of context, his words fly, by themselves, into books. The full burden of the labor that makes these things happen is for him only an abstraction, a resource diverted from other possible uses, because he is not the one performing the labor.
Miss Freed has no such illusions. Embedded in context, she knows that words never make things happen by themselves— or rather, that the only things they can make happen are other abstractions, like getting married or

Masthead, then headline, then kicker...I ask...is this vertical integration?: "Maybe the significant gains to humanity from these new satellites are worth the losses to astronomy, to the atmosphere, to biodiversity, to human health and to the night sky. Reasonable people can disagree about that."

Same. (Kafka’s diary entry on 25 Feb 1912).

25 February. Hold fast to the diary from today on! Write regularly!
Don't surrender! Even if no salvation should come, I want to be worthy of it at every moment. I spent this evening at the family table in complete indifference, my right hand on the arm of the chair in which my sister sat playing cards, my left hand weak in my lap. From time to time I tried to realize my unhappiness, I barely succeeded.” Kafka’s diary entry on Feb 25th, 1912

Of course one should jump into the novels, but this weird assemblage of excerpts isn’t a horrible way to dip into Krasznahorkai.

Shiny metallic rainbow book cover of The World Goes On by László Krasznahorkai

“HOW LOVELY” describing an imagined global lecture series on “Area Theory,” where speakers from many fields discuss “area” under the paradoxical theme “There Is No Area.”

…more in the dense poetic passage reflecting on perspective and existence. It imagines beings for whom “area” may or may not exist and concludes that, within the limits of human perception, we see only “area upon area,” longing to glimpse something that still refers to us.

Sun Ra

Sun Ra in front of a white car.
Gold orb above his head like a thought he hasn’t finished.
Cape burning orange into yellow—
somewhere between Pharaoh and comet.
The ground doesn’t quite hold him.
