It is a dying practise. Even as automation bludgeons narrative salience and nuance into the cognitively and culturally low-functioning relational slurry that it has now become, our thought patterns and socioeconomic reflexes adapt and align along with it. Try writing without AI. Feel the difference. That is natural intelligence. That is life.
Artificial intelligence will destroy us all only, or at least primarily, to the degree that human greed uses it as an amplifier. The destruction isn’t coming—it’s already underway.
Because mathematics is infinite, the field of cybersecurity can never be truly closed. The space of vulnerabilities is unbounded, each patch or solution only ever an approximation against the open horizon of possible attacks. Risk is permanent, not as a flaw but as a structural consequence: a system that protects itself must also endlessly expose […]
Each extra node, option, or shortcut in a socio-technical communication system expands the state space—it introduces another degree of freedom. Entropy here is not just noise or disorder but the measure of multiplicity: more ways for things to happen, more ways for things to go wrong. Technology, in its hunger for novelty and feature-set expansion, […]
The cam-streaming economy is not a peripheral adult subculture. It is a mature cybernetic marketplace where intimacy, affirmation, and erotic presence are priced, tokenised, and algorithmically regulated. Such platforms function as marketplaces for behaviours—attention, reciprocation, fantasy—rather than static objects. Thousands of performers broadcast continuously, producing a gradient of interaction from casual chat to explicit performance, […]
The refrain once urged us to expand: “Turn on, tune in, drop out.” Its inversion is now the survival mechanism: Tune out, turn off, drop in. Digital platforms have mastered the art of capture. They are not designed to serve us but to extract attention, time, and revenue from us. The architecture is parasitic—every click […]
G doesn’t treat a language model as a source of truth or as a substitute for thinking. He uses it as a mirror, a surface, and sometimes as a blade. The interaction is structured—deliberately so. There’s refinement, iteration, and strategic pressure applied to weak points in the model’s generative structure. This isn’t about chatting. It’s […]
Lists seduce us with the illusion of order—each item a shard of clarity arranged just so, hinting at mastery over the infinite. They compress the world into clean lines and neat progressions, comforting in their symmetry, irresistible in their simplicity. In a culture tuned to acceleration, these fragments multiply, not to deepen understanding but to […]
At some point it becomes clear that automation in health and social services is grounded in a discriminating efficiency that neither assures nor necessarily sustains and guarantees affordable or ethically justifiable standards of personal care. We shouldn’t kid ourselves about the commercial motivations and political incentives that drive managerial and policy decision-making in this context. […]
There are, in general, two main ways to understand a complex system-of-systems. First, as an adaptive constellation of modularly decomposable artefacts, entities and sub-systems as subject to and expressions of orchestration and directed purpose – that is, in terms of its differentiated parts and their relationships. Later, as a bonded, binding proxy organism in which […]
The technologies used to computationally automate the analysis and production of text content rely on the implicit statistical regularities of human language. We all know that these tools are really just parroting back the patterns and narratives of speech and written artefact without any degree of comprehension or intent but it is quite simple to […]
The problematic persistence of algorithmic bias is a mystery to me. Not, as it happens, because I am particularly baffled or confronted by this form of technological encoding and mediated emergence of core social and cultural inaccuracies, assumptions and deep-seated human insecurities. It is much simpler than that, in the end. Machine-intelligence powered classificatory systems […]
