billionaire welfare

Extreme wealth is not proof of independence. The billionaire appears to stand above society, but in reality stands upon it.

2 Comments on simply synchrony: rhythmic structure of complexity

Civilisations do not simply make choices. They fall into rhythms — and the future may depend on learning how to change the music.

Technology does not merely change the world. It changes the conditions under which future technologies arrive and thrive.

It is worth remembering that civilisation persists by unacknowledged permission of the planetary systems that sustain it.

No Comments on techno-populism aggressively consumes our collective future

Technology at scale preferentially industrialises the parts of human nature that are easiest to measure, repeat, monetise, automate, and weaponise. Those parts are rarely our best ones.

cybernetics

Technology cannot solve itself, because the introspective incompleteness that limits it is a function of the same combinatorial unboundedness that makes it at all possible; spoiler: we humans are similarly and simultaneously bound by identical logic.

S.O.S: AI Edition

Let’s save AI, and ourselves, from the people currently running it as though technical intelligence were sufficient to govern human life. The problem is not simply that they are foolish in some ordinary sense, but that they mistake optimisation, scale, fluency, abstraction, and wealth for wisdom. Technical intelligence does not transduce lived experience with anything […]
