Haven't been on Bluesky for a while, so I am yet to share some highlights from previous weeks. Here's the 70-minute long interview I gave to the amazing Ian Tennant, honoured to be part of his great channel InnerSense. We touched on hype, AI, magic, capital, and more... youtu.be/UR7RU6v3nAs?...

How would you formalise the waste and capitalisation on waste resources? E.g. in my case study the tons of data internet users left on the web during Web 2.0 hype, now exploited for GenAI hype purposes (Marx talks about this in the capital btw but doesn't formalise in his M-C-M structures).

Hi, I think there are no groups at all on BS. There was some early excitement about "starter packs" but that was mostly to follow other people (and haven't found any CoSG pack). Are you on the Mastodon Dobbs.Town? Surprised by how active people are there but I'm not a frequent visitor due to time.

1-hour delay expected for my flight to Barca for our @hypestudies.bsky.social conf. Perhaps too optimistically prepared, but have with me, among the usual random book selection, a colleague's paper to read, PhD student draft, two book proposals and a paper to review + handbook for module I'll tutor
