“AI” isn’t a tool or technology or even a cluster of technologies with a misleading name. It’s the infrastructure at the foundation of a form of capitalism dependent on data brokering. We should be teaching our students about this and not teaching them about “responsible” use.

taught the most satisfying course this summer w a dear comrade, and we used many of the authors in here; it was a course about time and liberation. We made the assignment an open ended love letter to a revolutionary, and the students turned in staggering work. In other words, buy this book!

I would have loved to be at #SHOT2025, sadly our paper on the history of Dutch philosopher-engineers was rejected ! Maybe next time

This.
Much of the "AI Scientist" community focuses on an instrumentalist rather taylorist approach to science. What about the goal of "knowing" and "understanding" the world?

On this day in 1924, Gilbert Simondon was born. A pioneering French philosopher of technology, Simondon challenged us to see machines not as passive tools but as entities with their own modes of existence.

How did #computers go from niche machines to everywhere, all at once? It turns out one of the oldest technologies, #books, was key.
Join our MUSTS colloquium by @patrickmccray.bsky.social on Wednesday 8 October in which we will explore how literature shaped the rise of computing.

On this day in 1889, Martin Heidegger was born. Heidegger holds a prominent place in the history of the philosophy of technology as he is often taken to be one of the first philosophers to take technology seriously.
