AI systems are about to start building themselves. - Jack Clark importai.substack.com/p/import-ai-45… #AI #automation #NearFuture (fascinating long read)

Wenn Körper nicht als Träger von Identität, nicht als deren stabile Hülle, sondern als laufende Mutation, als soziale Störung, als politisches Risiko behandelt werden, dann droht ein Horrorfilm. Doch Thomas Cailley baut daraus kein klassisches Monsterkino, sondern ein hybrides Coming-of-Age im Nebel der nahen Zukunft, in der die Grenzen zwischen Mensch und Tier nicht mehr metaphorisch sind, sondern medizinischer Befund, Verwaltungsakt und familiärer Ausnahmezustand zugleich. Das ist wüst, modern und ziemlich spannend. Mit Romain Duris, Adèle Exarchopoulos und Paul Kircher. (ARD, Neu!)

Rabid plants brutishly destroying the earth around them to make space for roots and branches, velvety-pink petals laced with seduction and death.

There was something viciously beautiful about spring.

The return to the Moon marks more than a technological milestone—it represents a shift in how humanity approaches space.

What begins as exploration may grow into infrastructure, then into industry, and eventually into everyday life.

One hundred years from now, the Moon may no longer be a distant destination, but a place where people live, work, and even take a weekend vacation.

The Moon has always been part of our story.

Hier mal aus Gründen und Solidarität mit der Autorin Anika Beer eine Buchempfehlung: "We Burn the Sun", das ist ein dystopischer Near Future Roman, der sich sehr spannend anhört aus meiner Sicht.
Die Verlagsseite des Buches:

This is probably the most complex novel I’ve written so far, and to put insult to injury I broke off its serial last year. But it’s back, and the finish line should be crossed on March 30. Enjoy! 👁👁

I've finished: Vigilance by Robert Jackson Bennett

This is not what I'm used to from Robert Jackson Bennett,

A hard hitting, near future, techno-thriller, parody of American gun culture.

It is not the funny sort of satire, it is the tragic, tense drama kind.

Published in 2019 it hit's a bit too close to home in 2025.

In a rather lovely cosmic coincidence, degrowth researchers launch a manifesto 'Housing (for) a post-growth world' this week. Their proposals are echoed in my novel Well Housed where housing is a city resource distributed by the Housing Office.

Do you think it's possible for a city to provide free and equal housing?

One reviewer, in her 5-star review of my novel Well Housed said: 'The book took me from skepticism (“there’s no way this could ever happen”) to genuine curiosity (“what if something like this could work?”).'

Neal Stephenson's "Termination Shock" started out really good but it's really bogging down. If it doesn't pick up soon this may be a did-not-finish.

I'm listening to it on audiobook.
