Jan Jęcz @jeczjan.eurosky.social · 21/09/2026Everyone involved in the debates around LLMs ability to "understand" would benefit from reading some practice theory, e.g. Schatzki's "Social Practices" 071 7
Jan Jęcz @jeczjan.eurosky.social · 20/09/2026From @sayash.bsky.social and @randomwalker.bsky.social book “AI Snake Oil”. Published in September 2024, but hasn’t aged even a bit 0214 21
Jan Jęcz @jeczjan.eurosky.social · 15/09/2026The popularity this “book” had in certain circles in the US (and Russia!) never ceases to amaze me. And it’s not only right-wingers - this is a quote from Ben Wikler, and Aaron in question is Aaron Swartz www.theguardian.com/culture/2014... 1110 11
Jan Jęcz @jeczjan.eurosky.social · 15/09/2026For @politykainsight.bsky.social I wrote a summary of the AI slowdown saga. Here’s the bottom line: 171 7
Jan Jęcz @jeczjan.eurosky.social · 14/09/2026It is so rare for people whose job is to hype the tech they sell to be this realistic in their predictions about the future. I fully agree these areas will be among the most impacted by the development of AI systems, and the “within a generation” timeline is actually rather conservative 140 4
Jan Jęcz @jeczjan.eurosky.social · 13/09/2026With all the talk of "technological slowdown", I feel like I picked up Hartmut Rosa's "Social Acceleration" at just the right moment. I'll post some excerpts in the thread below 131 3
Jan Jęcz @jeczjan.eurosky.social · 12/09/2026Darkly funny that the “Democratic Coordination” Amodei proposes is an anti-democratic regulatory capture, with the role of state limited to that of a “supporter” or “mediator” (who BTW should, for some unclear reason, waive antitrust restrictions?) 054 5
Jan Jęcz @jeczjan.eurosky.social · 11/09/2026Reminded me of this vintage classic techcrunch.com/2019/05/18/s... 000 0
Jan Jęcz @jeczjan.eurosky.social · 07/09/2026Yes! I got pushback from people for saying it, and that it is the funniest in its supposedly most somber moments, but I understand it - even Jeremy Strong wasn’t convinced www.newyorker.com/magazine/202... 0182 18

Jan Jęcz @jeczjan.eurosky.social · 01/09/2026I recently discovered that the ridiculous satellite-mirror all the astrophysicists warn about is named “Earendil-1”. Surprisingly, it doesn’t seem to be Thiel-related 1120 12

Jan Jęcz @jeczjan.eurosky.social · 26/08/2026I mean, no wonder they were seeking advice from this guy 0191 19
Jan Jęcz @jeczjan.eurosky.social · 26/08/2026Can't opine on the contents as I haven't finished it yet, but @himself.bsky.social had an interesting (as usual) take on both the book itself and its place in the SV canon www.bloomberg.com/news/article... 2241 24

Jan Jęcz @jeczjan.eurosky.social · 23/08/2026Finally finished listening to @nsrnicek.bsky.social’s “Silicon Empires”. It’s a great overview of the American and Chinese AI economy, skillfully explaining peculiarities and connections of the layers of their tech stacks, as well as economic and poilitical contexts in which they developed. 250 5
Jan Jęcz @jeczjan.eurosky.social · 18/08/2026Some grim irony in the fact that the “Russian Starlink” is being developed by a “company within X Holding” 060 6
Jan Jęcz @jeczjan.eurosky.social · 12/08/2026My take is you either go full Bourdieu, with rigorous field research and diagrams, or you don't go at all 370 7
