Jeremy Antley @jantley.bsky.social · 09/10/2026You arrive at the idea that AI will ‘personalize’ things to your taste by believing AI has neutral values, which it absolutely does not. Beyond the fact that this is a facile fantasy, it demonstrates both a severe lack of imagination and a callous disregard for creativity endemic to tech bros. 030
Jeremy Antley @jantley.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Yeah because you have to seriously address everything filed, draft and file objections too, even if the request is non-sensical or has no basis in law. It’s unbelievable how much wasted effort goes into dealing with something that took them 5 minutes to cook up. 010
Jeremy Antley @jantley.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I work in Family Law and we have a case where the opposing party is self-represented and files AI-slop pleadings every other day. We’re talking 30-page Motions for pleadings that usually take 3 pages at most. I’ve seen three such Motions this week alone! Chat, the Judicial system is cooked. 120

It is those who have begun to feel, in a more just and harmonious tone, the failings of their own existence.” - Rancière, *Distant Freedom* (91) 030

Jeremy Antley @jantley.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Political history like this is vital because, Rees argues, “most historical events are laminates of long-term, medium-term and intermediate causes, and…if we understand the interaction of these layers of causation…we can make an accurate assessment of why any given moment unfolded as it did.” 000
Jeremy Antley @jantley.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Radicals eventually purged moderates from parliament to realize their goals yet “the final acts of the trial and execution of the king had stretched the alliance of radical forces to the breaking point.” The coalition “shattered at the point where the destruction of the old state became necessary.” 100
Jeremy Antley @jantley.bsky.social · 27/09/2026“The knot that the moderates could never untie,” Rees concludes, “was contained in the fact that that they could not accept that the radical political action of which they disapproved was necessary to achieve the political end that they desired.” Moderate compromises fed reactionary potentials. 100
Jeremy Antley @jantley.bsky.social · 27/09/2026One theme of the book is how radical members of the Long Parliament needed moderate support at the beginning of their project to deconstruct structures and supports of absolutism, but when gains were realized towards these ends the ultimate goal—removal of the king—proved unpalatable to moderates. 110
Jeremy Antley @jantley.bsky.social · 27/09/2026“When revolutions reach a tipping point, the choice is not between moderation and radical revolution,” Rees observes, “but between radical reaction and radical revolution, between counter-revolution and revolution.” There is no moderate path towards a radical ideal and half-measures can be co-opted. 101
Jeremy Antley @jantley.bsky.social · 27/09/2026This was a fascinating history not just because the terms of the English Revolution are important to understand on their own merits, but also because the story of curtailing Charles’ power, and then his head, is illustrative of the challenges faced by any radical ideal requiring coalition politics. 100

Jeremy Antley @jantley.bsky.social · 25/09/2026A fantastic read! A fav scene (forget the details) described men chasing someone out a high window, them hanging on the window’s edge, and being beaten “until their hands relaxed” and they fall.

Reposted by Jeremy AntleyJeremy Antley @jantley.bsky.social · 17/09/2026There is a subtle shift here as using AI that is ‘aligned’ means the focus is on output of the AI and not the user using AI for a task.

Jeremy Antley @jantley.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Or, to put it another way, the implications of aligned AI’s in a society of consensus is akin to the old quote from Henry Ford on purchasing a Model-T; you can have any color so long as it’s black. 000
