The expansion of computational capital reproduces the core-periphery dynamics of earlier empires—extracting from the Global South to enrich the North—while excavating billions of years in geological time to increase the speed of algorithmic convenience by milliseconds. After feeding at this planetary scale, the industrial beast now releases a tide of slop.
Crawford's new essay in e-flux offers the best summary of the monstrous absurdity of contemporary AI that I've read in a long time.

GLITCH ENVIRONMENTALISM is freely accessible for two weeks... make sure to download it soon!!
we think with Legacy Russell's Glitch Feminism (2020) to examine digitally-mediated activism challenging birding's hegemonic, exclusionary histories and cultures
w/ Naomi Parker and @jonnyjjt.bsky.social
New #DigitalEcologies paper from Naomi Parker, @admsrl.bsky.social & @jonnyjjt.bsky.social on 'glitch environmentalism'!
Open Access for the next two weeks.
🦉 Glitch Environmentalism 🦉
In our new paper, Naomi Parker, @admsrl.bsky.social & I explore glitches in the birding community that arose in the Self-Isolating Bird Club
We theorise glitch environmentalism to understand how transitory glitches can gain duration

The year’s last author copies are here, on the first day of my holiday break. @dollyjorgensen.bsky.social and I wrote an epilogue for this excellent book on Digital Ecologies. #envhum

19.12.2024 09:10 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Is this the beginning of a new regime of generic urban ambient imagery setting the 'mood' of everyday life in cities, not unlike what stock photography has been doing? That's something I've written about in this OA book edited by the brilliant @profgillian.bsky.social: www.aup.nl/en/book/9789...
18.12.2024 15:57 — 👍 14 🔁 5 💬 1 📌 0Setting aside some time to read this today - obviously because of its intellectual merit, but also because so many of these authors/editors have been integral to my 'journey' as an ECR geographer! Great people producing a great book - massive congrats to all!
