Shortly after taking office last year, Pete Hegseth polled the nation's top commanders about cutting a program designed to protect civilians during U.S. military operations. Every commander rebuffed the idea. He did it anyway.

It’s Time to Rein in Lethal AI Drones

Now that AI-guided drones are being deployed and tested in real wars, humans need to act, as AI agents scheme in the digital shadows.

It's fun that Trump is abandoning South Korea at a moment when RAM is the single biggest bottleneck in the thing that's eaten the global economy, and 70% of global RAM production is in South Korea.

I wonder if social media in general has become the “sander” to our sonder. Bad faith engagement encourages us to see a person as surface; a take on which to debate/win/judge. To sonder is to plumb the depths of the human condition, to sander rounds it off.

“Nobody is losing control of an emerging intelligence. They’re redirecting their own agency to the thing they are building.” It’s a myth, a self-affirming form of sense making: they take the action to build it, but insist on describing it as if they are passive witnesses to an inevitable force.

I have written at some length about Nagasaki in the past. It has long taken a back seat in the narratives about the atomic bomb compared to Hiroshima. It deserves at least as much attention — it has its own distinct implications for the atomic bombing narrative. www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-...

Here’s something I saw happening as a result of the Ludopticon; buying your public platform by selling your private self. Parasocialism allows users to remix and decontextualise creators/public figures/people they know like an extremely visceral form of fan fiction.

So in therapy recently, we’ve been talking about embodiment and how mind/body disconnect is such a common theme in the digital world.

Been rereading Fahrenheit 451 (I wonder why??) after at least 10 years and this part made me pause 😳

On p39 of Fahrenheit 451, Montag and Beatty discuss how the Mechanical Hound is trained and how one could falsely ascribe consciousness/thinking to it. It’s been trained on violence and apparently should not be feared if one does not have a guilty conscience.

Do you remember the analogy of the paperclip maximiser for AI alignment? Where, instead of paperclips, it would cover the earth in data farms through instrumental convergence? Looks like humans are doing it right now. Maybe capitalism was the optimising system we needed to watch out for all along.

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world

So many of us carry a little digital version of ourselves around that we might not even be aware of. Spread between platforms, pixelated from the data points of our clicks, hovers, comments, uploads, searches… they become an extension of our subconscious and form this cyber essence 1/3

The Ludopticon - how we gamified our own surveillance When Foucault used the Panopticon as metaphor, he emphasised how people self-regulated out of fear of being seen. However, I argue that we have gone past fear - we desire being seen. The Ludopticon is the next evolution of the Panopticon.
