I think we'd see a lot more urgency about regulating AI in Silicon Valley if the AI agents suddenly developed a sense of restorative justice, and instead of them threatening humanity with total extinction, they just wanted to redistribute wealth and reverse power hierarchies.

Practical and playful - that's how I intended to write this piece on "Making Together" as a method. In it, I offer suggestions for researching sociotechnical objects and communities of practice by un/re/making things with others. Take a look at this excellent volume at kitsformethods.com.

BOOK INVITE
Kits for Digital Methods: Doing Sociotechnical Research. Edited by Angela K. VandenBroek and Nicole Taylor.

Play, experiment, explore, and improvise in each kit’s sandbox to get a feel for how they work, how they might be adapted, and what they might inspire within your own research practice. —Angela K.

I started STS scholars (broadly construed) starter pack! It's VERY incomplete! I wasn’t sure if there was an easier way to do this than just going through my followers & adding people. Probably missed lots of folks! Please let me know who I missed or if you'd like to be added. go.bsky.app/H4NcX46
