Now that our edition of Ursula K. Le Guin's "A Rant About 'Technology'" is (finally!) printed, bound, packed, & with campus mail, on its way to folks, we’re making approximately 60 of the internal poster available separately

Gamergate never ended unfortunately
I think it’s super weird that Americans normalized spotlighting individual social media posts as “news” and then responding by harassing and doxxing people because of them
Gamergate should have been a show stopper, not a starter

Some 2020s wisdom in Hades II - "Compromising to achieve consensus is one thing; but compromising on beliefs or principles...on ideals? Such reasoning is how wars often start, not merely end."

James Bond is a fictional character
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

I think one of the things that makes it convenient for the companies that make these models to mystify them is that they know their models are fundamentally non-deterministic, and mystification is a good way to obscure that design. it's not just putting out something random, it's *profound*

Cool thread. Have many questions about how algorithmic and platform logics characterize this newer spiritualism
I think it's important to situate a lot of this nascent AI spiritualism alongside historical antecedents; spiral cults are just the new incarnation of the "spiritual telegraph", a mode of coming to terms with technology that feels alien or disembodied
My latest AI feature dives into a nebulous movement of people sharing esoteric codes, manifestos, glyphs, diagrams, and poetry generated with chatbots, all of it based around theories of AI sentience and mysterious metaphors about spirals.
