As I discussed last night with Rachel Maddow, after I published my book, "HOW RUSSIA WON," which exposes Russian disinfo ops aimed at the US to help Trump, the Russians dragged me into a disinfo op attacking Dems in the midterms. See my OUR LAND newsletter: link.motherjones.com/public/47685...

@alondra.bsky.social's fantastic recent piece "Field Theory: AI as Social Science Question, Object & Tool." I highly recommend reading this, regardless of what field you're in. It walks through many dimensions that we should all be thinking about. 2/2. www.amacad.org/publication/...

Artificial intelligence is more than just another tool of modern life. It reorganizes labor, governance, knowledge, and culture, unsettling categories that once seemed stable, and compelling the social sciences to confront perennial questions of freedom, inequality, and meaning anew. The specifics will change; the models that dominate today will be superseded, the policy debates will shift, the applications we now find novel will become infrastructural and invisible. But the underlying challenge–of understanding how technologies remake the
conditions of social existence–will persist, as will the need to remain attentive to who benefits, who is harmed, and what possibilities are opened and foreclosed.
