New paper out! 🔋 I read batteries as informational devices to show how the energy transition changes not just where energy comes from, but what energy is. Now in Science & Technology Studies.

I know it’s a big ask, but everyone needs to watch more interviews and panels with CEOs. They are so disturbing and repellent but to really face the reality of not only the fact we’re in a class war but the nature of who it is we’re battling, and the future they are authoring, is essential.

It's time to end Rip off Britain. For too long we've had people in charge of the decisions that affect our lives in the pockets of the super rich. The Green Party have two vested interests - protecting communities and our planet. It's time to tax the super rich.

I like the awareness that value is social but my own anthropological view is values are usually products of histories and valued substances index those histories in complex ways. A thread I should not attempt while suffering a major cold but what the heck let’s try… 1/

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

Using your debt, your search history, and your private data to decide how much you’re worth? Hell no. This is what happens when technology is built to serve profit instead of people. This is why every worker needs a union.

Strong recommendation to teaching faculty to just say no to this stuff, even if you are AI curious/enthusiastic. This is meant to reduce faculty autonomy and capture human labor with automation.

Using Canvas agentic AI to do your work for you signals that your work is worth less than it was prior to that act. The idea that this will, long term, free faculty time is belied by every single thing we know about the history of labor automation. It either puts you out of work, or you work more.

V Gaze dnes 31 stupňů, jasné nebe, léto začíná. K tomu je 40 procent vodní infrastruktury rozbombardované Izraelem, Unicef varuje, že děti můžou začít umírat žízní a obecně je to totální peklo. Shrnutí situace tady, možná lepší ani nevědět. voxpot.cz/chteli-jidlo...
