Steam didn’t trigger the Industrial Revolution. The growing complexity of labour demanded steam.

Just like today, it's not AI that's changing work—it's work that's calling AI into being.

Taking AI into the Tunnels - Journal #151 Mikael Brunila argues for a politics of opacity in the face of AI dominance.

A convergence between AI & cryptography is necessary to break with AI as surveillance. The key metaphor is "tunneling": Cultivating many models & peer-to-peer training strategies, small models, encrypted models... How do we build this? How do we direct funds here?
