  1. "As AI agents become more integrated into the economy, companies and entities that deploy them will benefit disproportionately compared to those that cannot, Nick Srnicek, a senior lecturer in digital economy at King’s College London, told Rest of World.

    “We will see new inequalities of access, scale, quality and trust: divides between those who have agents and those who don’t; those who have good agents and those who have bad agents; those who have many agents and those who have few agents; and those who can trust their agents and those who cannot,” he said.

    Having access to agents that outpace others means “the outcomes of negotiations and transactions will be structurally biased towards those with greater access,” Srnicek said. “Agentic inequality can harden into systems of dominance.”

    AI-powered agents and robots could generate about $2.9 trillion in economic value per year in the U.S. by 2030, McKinsey said in a report last year: “Work in the future will be a partnership between people, agents, and robots — all powered by AI.”"

  6. New: "Few Become One: Polysynthetic Communication and the Ultrametric Architecture of Language"

    Search engines can't see Mohawk. Why? They assume meaning lives in separate words. In polysynthetic languages, one word IS the sentence.

    The fix: nested semantic graphs—language-neutral meaning trees. The same ultrametric structure appears across physics, biology, and cognition.

  21. "Since late February 2026, a 40-day military confrontation between Iran, the United States, and Israel has unfolded across the region, following an initial wave of airstrikes that set in motion a cycle of retaliation and broader regional spillovers. The focus, unsurprisingly, has been on security and geopolitics. But the conflict also reshaped something less visible: the infrastructures that sustain connectivity.

    At approximately midday on 28 February, global internet access in Iran was effectively cut off for most users. Not entirely, and not for all. What followed was not simply a condition of disconnection, but a reorganisation of the network itself into a layered system in which connectivity was differentially mediated through infrastructural constraints, economic mechanisms, and institutional gatekeeping.

    This analysis is based on ten in-depth interviews with business owners, technical operators, and everyday internet users in Iran, conducted during and immediately after the recent conflict. These interviews are complemented by participant observation of connectivity practices, pricing dynamics, and user behavior under conditions of disruption. While not exhaustive, the findings provide a grounded view of how internet governance operates in practice under crisis conditions."

  22. This is interesting. While some are fighting to buy the latest version of phones, this is happening at UC Berkley.

    Neither is wrong. Both have different adjacent possibles.

    Whole some are trying to minimize the digital divide others are trying to maximize it.

    Circumstance is a peculiar thing.
