written 15+ years ago, the shallows by nicholas carr outlines how the internet has changed not only our actions but also our thoughts. it’s getting harder and harder to think critically as we automate more of our brains’ functions. scares me to see how much worse this has gotten with AI. 4.5/5

the lola quartet by emily st. john mandel: this was a miss for me, especially because every other ESJM book i’ve read has been so good. i didn’t connect the characters or story. it was written like it was supposed to be a mystery but since all the characters are narrators there was no mystery. 2.5/5

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

the luminaries by eleanor catton: a densely challenging victorian mystery set during the new zealand gold rush. for those looking to be awed by the art of writing, not necessarily the story itself. wish she leaned more into the supernatural and contextualized the zodiac influence a bit more. 4/5

Business Idiots are grotesque, seeing our lives as a series of inputs and outputs, of gestures over actions and numbers over people. These people don’t want to automate work, they want to automate existence - everything is number go up for the Business Idiot. www.wheresyoured.at/the-era-of-t...
These people are powerful, and have big platforms. They’re people like Derek Thompson, famed co-author of the “abundance” agenda, who celebrates the idea of a fictitious version of ChatGPT that can entirely plan and execute a 5-year-old’s birthday party, or his co-author Ezra Klein, who, while recording a podcast where his researchers likely listened, talked proudly about replacing their work with OpenAI’s broken Deep Research product, because anything that can be outsourced must be, and all research is “looking at stuff that is relevant.”

And really, that’s the most grotesque part about Business Idiots. They see every part of our lives as a series of inputs and outputs They boast about how many books they’ve read rather than the content of said books, about how many hours they work (even though they never, ever work that many), about high level they are in a video game they clearly don’t play, about the money they’ve raised and the scale they’ve raised it at, and about how expensive and fancy their kitchen gadgets are. Everything is dominance, acquisition, growth and possession over any lived experience, because their world is one where the journey doesn’t matter, because their journeys are riddled with privilege and the persecution of others in the pursuit of success. 

These people don’t want to automate work, they want to automate existence. They fantasize about hitting a button and something happening, because experiencing — living! — is beneath them, or at least your lives and your wants and your joy are. They don’t want to plan their kids’ birthday parties. They don’t want to research things. They don’t value culture or art or beauty. They want to skip to the end, hit fast-forward on anything, because human struggle is for the poor or unworthy. 

When you are steeped in privilege and/or have earned everything through a mixture of stolen labor and office pantomime, the idea of “effort” is always negative. The process of creation — or affection, of love, of ki…

Great job everyone
The study revealed that AI chatbots actually created new job tasks for 8.4 percent of workers, including some who did not use the tools themselves, offsetting potential time savings. For example, many teachers now spend time detecting whether students use ChatGPT for homework, while other workers review AI output quality or attempt to craft effective prompts.

While I want to think further about how AI enclosures are racialized (they are at the training level, certainly), I think treating public expenditure & forced adoption of AI as anti-literacy policy is imperative. They want to leave the next generation with nothing to offer but their obedience.

i’m a fan: captures the neurosis of being a woman trapped in the cycle of unrequited love, of yearning for someone who doesn’t want you as much you want them, of the compulsion to analyze every inane moment of their life searching for hidden confirmation of their nonexistent love for you. 4.5/5
