"Anatomy of an AI Coup" examines a shift of power from policy makers and bureaucrats to those with the skill to train and fine-tune large language models - often behind system prompts, which further calibrate the gov. worker's options toward the decisions of those who calibrate the system.

I don’t know if it’s a masculinity thing or a managerial class thing or what. But you don’t actually have to hand it to AI. It’s okay to look at the equation and conclude it’s not worth it.

Not only can it not help me with my research or writing, but its surreptitious adoption by students makes teaching significantly harder, as half the job is now working on the assumption that a range of standard assignments no longer teach human beings anything, because they can simply hand them off.

I'm reminded of Lucy Suchman's excellent 2023 piece on "The uncontroversial ‘thingness’ of AI". Suchman urges us, in critical work on "AI" not to cede the ground that "AI" is a thing at all.

"The 'doomsday trap' of artificial intelligence is the dehumanization that [it] makes possible. AI is not only a technology, it's...a spectacle designed as pretext to resist empathy and create emotional distance from consequences." @eryk.bsky.social mail.cyberneticforests.com/a-fork-in-th...
A Fork in the Road
AI is an excuse that allows those with power to operate at a distance from those whom their power touches.
