The Rausing Professorship at the Department of History of Science and Ideas at Uppsala University is now open for applications (deadline 30 April). Great department; lovely city.

I really don't understand why people struggle with the idea that it's bad to be able to kill whomever you want whenever you want just because you feel like it. That's actually the world you want to live in. You're quite confident about that vote for the leopards aren't you.

It is that time of term 🙏

an unintended nap did wonders

also a nice non alcoholic cocktail on a Sunday night before another week of hell workload

being moisturised helps, a little bit

Text at the bottom right reads: An Absence of Sea
 Christina Tudor-Sideri A block of text on the back cover reads: at times oneiric confession at times philosophical contemplation in epistolary form An Absence of Sea unfolds as a breathless letter to the other a lover a double the sea time itself tracing the shadowed terrain where self meets its echo where longing takes on form where thought becomes touch moving through the quiet of solitude it follows the fragile carnal continuity of existence a gesture of return where the impossible is the only home that holds us a poetics of knowing and being known through the gaze through touch through the echo of another Below that the ISBN and: Cover detail from Orpheus and Eurydice in Hades, Pietro Fancelli

Forthcoming on April 16—An Absence of Sea—a letter across time woven from dreams, intimacies, lived fragments, and remembered voices, where the self meets its double and those who echo within it. www.erratumpress.com/an-absence-o...

Delusional Experiences Emerging From AI Chatbot Interactions or “AI Psychosis” The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into daily life has introduced unprecedented forms of human-machine interaction, prompting psychiatry to reconsider the boundaries between environment, cognition, and technology. This Viewpoint reviews ...

Yesterday a writer who is struggling to run a small publishing house told me: "I love AI".

In a lecture on psychosis, saw a woman typing questions to Chat GPT (a bit too on the nose re psychosis). She'd ask Chat questions but not the lecturer.

Why do people feed the machine that kills them?

They don't *need* AI to make these decisions. But they *want* AI to make these decisions. Because the tech gives them plausible deniability--something to blame (other than themselves) when things go wrong.

Mass killing of elementary school girls - are they less human bec they are Iranian? Are they legit “collateral damage”? Means to an end? I doubt that this kind of mass killing would be even contemplated for, say, Denmark.

which means they won’t defend the system that served them well post 1945 and placing their bets on an erratic US. good luck.

western US allies backing unequivocal breach of international law and UN charter… unravelling the last shreds of whatever there is left of international law as we knew it

Antonio Guterres is up first at this Security Council meeting. He condemns this morning’s strikes by Israel and the US on Iran, and the return strikes by Iran on countries in the region. There is, he says, no alternative to the peaceful settlement of disputes

We never know how someone learns; but whatever the way, it is always by the intermediary of signs, by wasting time, and not by the assimilation of some objective content.

One thing is disregarding laws, but I think the more accurate description of what is going on is the accumulation of flagrant breaches which renders the question of legality itself becoming irrelevant.

The new normal of another illegal use of force: preemptive strikes are only justified if imminent threat, there isn’t.

I have nothing good to say about Anthropic just like I have nothing good to say about Muskrat during his spat with the orange man, or any of the orange man's associates when he turns on them. Anthropic knowingly partnered with the pentagon. Their other partner, Palantir,...

used to be the journalists holding the politicians to account, now the other way around, kudos to polanski for doing it

fabulous board

Honestly this is like a breath of fresh air having these tactics openly explored to pushback on the stranglehold that far-right communications have on traditional media. This eco-system needs to be exposed to viewers and Polanski does a really good job of not rising to the bait but dissecting it.

Woke up this morning very angry, first time since Covid, vaccine nationalism and IP barriers
