It's also a sort of running technical appendix to my work on the continuity between LLMs and cybernetics, such as this article in @bigdatasoc.bsky.social

Chapter three from my thesis is finally out in @bigdatasoc.bsky.social! I explore the parallels between the "bit" and the "embeddings" that are a foundational structure in Large Language Models, showing how the latter endow tech companies with what I call "cosine capital."

"Cosine capital: Large language models and the embedding of all things" by Mikael Brunila doi.org/10.1177/2053...
Proposes “cosine capital” to describe how LLM embeddings commodify language and data, reshaping power, abstraction, and AI economies.
