The Silicon Valley Consensus & the "AI Economy" On techno-optimism in the midst of a tech bubble

A frenzy of AI hype fuels trillions in spending on costly compute infrastructure. This piece details how real profits and transformative applications lag, revealing a bubble driven less by innovation than by capital reallocation and speculative excess.

The most radical act of feminism? Using AI Women are far less likely to use AI tools like ChatGPT than men. But the tech is here to stay — and the disparity risks widening workplace inequalities

Whooo, buddy.

Great to read the second update from the project 🎉

M. Abstract This dissertation centers on understanding and fixing the persistent and wicked problem of marginalization in systems. I do this by examining the “power to name” utilized by cultural heritage institutions (like Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums & Special Collections; GLAMS) and informational infrastructures (like databases, psychological schema, or social media platforms). As systems are defined by boundaries, the act of naming or labelling people, places, and things in these Knowledge Organization Systems (KOSes) produces marginalizations and exclusions. I undertake a comprehensive analysis to understand how a.....

Proud to have played even a small role on this project! Great summary post and an excellent job by the entire IOI team.

After two years of intensive research, IOI's project “Investigating "reasonable costs" to achieve public access to federally funded research and scientific data” has concluded.

That figure is wild, and I get the sense there are people very involved in open publishing who don't even know it. Would you be open to talking a bit more about it in a DM?

Delighted to see my team’s article published about our work on ‘Living with Machines’ in the @learnedpublishing.bsky.social journal 🎉 Particular thanks to our @uolpress.bsky.social Publisher @emmagallon.bsky.social for her work on this 👏

I like that this piece argues for a democratising understanding of open science over the more neoliberal one they view as common. I've always felt that a more robust understanding of democratisation is needed for open movements, rather than just assuming that democracy is implied in free culture.

a tweet from Packy McCormick that reads pro tip: you can basically read >100 books per day by asking chatgpt to summarize them for you

if you skim 100 ai-generated book summaries you have read exactly zero books 📚

In case you missed it, this workbook is a guide to thinking through when and how to take risks as a higher ed worker.

It aims to help us differentiate between danger and discomfort, while also offering some practical information about how to protect yourself while taking meaningful action.
