Everywhere I turn, I stumble over stories - different in details, but similar in implications - of society in decay. These include rapid growth in student food bank use, spiking anxiety among kids, random acts of aggression on public transit, rejection of expertise during crises of health, homelessness, democracy, etc, and on and on. These stories are always accompanied by hand-wringing over cause and remedy, but somehow state provision of financial resources only rarely comes up. Funny that…

Os americanos celebram a 2 de janeiro o dia nacional da ficção científica, comemorando o nascimento do Asimov. Sendo o Asimov quem é, a coisa até se podia tornar facilmente internacional.
Cš em Portugal não temos ninguém suficientemente destacado no imaginšrio popular para servir como inspiração para um dia semelhante. O que mais se aproxima disso é o Barreiros, mas esse não só estš vivo (estas homenagens costumam ser póstumas) como estš também MUITO longe de ter o destaque do Asimov.<…

The painter Henri Rousseau
(1844–1910)
famously never left France;
He concocted his fantastical jungles from visits to the botanical gardens in Paris,
images in books and taxidermized specimens in natural history museums,
and a teeming visual imagination.
The results are on view in a mesmerizing exhibition,
“Henri Rousseau: A Painter’s Secrets,”
at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia until Feb. 22.
These works haven’t been assembled …

Please, please, please let's be clear about the use or lack of use of cyber to cut off power in Venezuela. I began researching this possibility the second Trump finished his press conference, in which he referenced that the US has "expertise" to cut off power, which most people immediately concluded was cyber.
At this point, I've spoken to a bunch of ICS cyber experts. Given that the Venezuelan government claims the power outage was caused by the destruction of two su…

This has allowed me to make clear something that's been at the back of my mind. Something that is at the heart of so much blind stupidity in big tech.
It's the assumption that we will change one thing and all else will be the same.
In this case, we will fire lots and lots of employees all over the world and we will make lots of profit. We're smart enough to make the AI, and we're dumb enough to think that there will only be one consequence. 1/n

They argue that genAI won’t produce sufficient revenue from consumers to pay back the current investment frenzy. I mean, they’re right, it won’t, but that’s not what the investors are buying. They’re buying the promise, not of more revenue, but of higher profits that happen when tens of millions of knowledge workers are replaced by (presumably-cheaper) genAI. ¶

I wonder who, after the loss of those tens of millions of high-paid jobs, are going to be the consumers who’ll buy the goods that’ll d…

Content warning: Muddled maunderings of a doddering fool.

#muddledMaunderings caveat emptor.
Details within.

A book is a set of possibilities.

I read this in a short story in the November/December 2023 issue of Asimov’s Science Fiction. The story was titled, The Four Last Things, by Cristopher Rowe. I don’t know why, but the phrase has attached itself in my mind. In the story, the phrase is almost a throwaway line, spoken by a character to an AI in answer to the question, what is a book? It’s like watching a meme invading my mind in real time. I can almost feel tendrils of connection spreading into, …

Speaking to a room full of generals and admirals late last month, Hegseth derided
“stupid rules of engagement,”
and urged those assembled to get on board with his vision to
“untie the hands of our war fighters.”
He also said he wanted to raise the bar for troops to be investigated for misconduct.
“The rule of law at DoD has been under attack since day one of this administration,”
one of the current JAGs told CNN.
“There is a real dismissiveness of la…
