  1. What a marvel!
    Let’s hope no semiologist gets hurt reading this piece :)

    Art is becoming increasingly essential in asserting our cultural autonomy against a technological determinism that, more often than not, exists solely in the minds of those who take the Gartner Hype Cycle as gospel and the marketing of major consulting firms as sacred writ.

    The space of critique is our salvation.
    The future is a space for self-determination.

  6. Today I woke up thinking: of all the tech Ive learned, hacked up, botched, worked with, watched being innovated, done evaluation studies on, made money with, enjoyed... I have never seen a technology elicit so much anger as Gen AI & LLMs. So much anger and frustration. So much, in so many places.

  11. In my opening keynote for the Ada Symposium 2024, I conclusively and decisively argued that what we call 'A.I' is in fact a pet rock.

  17. > Technologies certainly have impacts, but they also can restructure our physical and social worlds, and so how we live. Winner argues that this understanding of technologies as “forms of life” needs to inform our evaluations and choices regarding technological innovation and adoption.

  18. This elegy to Twitter is fine but I *hate* the #TechnologicalDeterminism & #MoralPanic of the subhed:
    about what Twitter did to us vs. what we did with Twitter. That is how media analyse the net & us. 1/

    Whether the platform is dying or not, it’s time to reckon with how exactly it broke our brains.
