Oh no.

Already had it added to my list! 👏

I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world

And by design LLMs destroy shared context

This is well worth a listen - cheers @the-syllabus.bsky.social for sharing 🙏

So excited to introduce @gemmamilne.bsky.social on Weds ☺️

There is soon going to be an historical primary-source black hole for the past thirty years of human existence... if it doesn't exist already, of course.

A different take from me back in 2023...

(Not a perfect take, but something I've been thinking about a lot since I wrote these pretty high level / early thoughts)

🥶 Are we hurtling towards a quantum winter? 🥶

Had a great time chatting hype in quantum on @crackingquantum.bsky.social!

We touched on:
❄️ Too little or too much hype in quantum?
❄️ Alternative 'norms' for science-entrepreneurs
❄️ 'Spinning out, better': equitably, democratically, and for the many

🥰🥰🥰

Woohoo! SO excited my pal @gemmamilne.bsky.social will join us on the hype train, helping us kick-off the hype studies conference in Barcelona in September!

Chaired by fab writer, researcher and pal @gemmamilne.bsky.social - we'll be discussing what happens when LGBTQ communities meet the categories, classifications and labels assigned to them!

Please (if you can) preorder a copy of the book with Lighthouse - it really helps! 📚

Fascinating pre #PCST2025 workshop on #scicomm teaching & AI. Great to welcome @gemmamilne.bsky.social @samillingworth.com & more for an insightful discussion. Thanks to everyone who came!

I so enjoyed this chat with @melhogan.bsky.social and @danishanley.bsky.social on all things 💫hype💫!

🙏🙏

Hmm - hence perhaps why it could be an interesting addition haha..! What would you recommend best on amorality tho?

Yesss these are great!! And thanks :) It's for a keynote in Sept, so will put something out after... But yeah been thinking a lot about earnestness, audaciousness, flagrancy wrt those who 'work on' the future (writing up my thesis on corporate futurism rn; the keynote, separately, is on hype...)

Haha yepppp they are on the list dontcha worry..!

KNEW you’d have something 🙏🙏🙏

I feel like you might have some weird avenues for me to go down…? @stephenhues.bsky.social @provokedeconomy.bsky.social @aminsamman.bsky.social @eryk.bsky.social @jathansadowski.com

Been thinking recently about a ‘turn to badness’ re the explicitness of immoral behaviour usually more ‘hidden’ in the cult(ure) of tech startups etc (think: VCs proudly & openly promoting defence investments) - looking for good readings on cynicism / explicit badness - anyone?

Nice opportunity ⬇️

Ok, time to dust off some Hannah Arendt, for absolutely no particular reason: "In totalitarian regimes, provocation, once only the speciality of the secret agent, becomes a method of dealing with his neighbor which everybody, willingly or unwillingly is forced to follow" (OT, ed. 2004, p. 556) 1/

Thank youuuuu! 🥰🙏
