Very strange to me that one could critique critiques of Big Tech’s dominance by claiming that data center energy use isn’t real/isn’t a problem outside of the US. The ideological scaffolding and speculative investments behind “AI” are all too material and also global in their ambitions

Lucy Suchman’s keynote at @facct.bsky.social is a revelation. She’s citing media studies scholars like Orit Halpern and Lisa Gitelman while laying out in exacting terms how AI systems are used to perpetuate and legitimize genocide

A designer friend complained about being pressured to use AI. She named a new dynamic she’s seeing , where much of her job entails reading a pile of AI generated technical writing and providing feedback on it, enabling managers to outsource job responsibilities. A generator vs a reader/editor

I see the Very Famous Professor whose ghostwriter used AI to write me a brain picking email request has a new book out on chatbot communication

Feeling very secure knowing that a clown car driven by Hegseth, Mullin, and Bessent will be evaluating AI models

State of the economy: spent some quality time trying to figure out if my brother’s interview was for an actual job or if it was all an AI enhanced scam
