We talk endlessly about what AI can and cannot do. We talk very little about the assumptions built into the question itself. This dialogue follows a philosopher and an AI practitioner.

From Plato to Gradient Descent: The Frame We Forgot We Chose
Practitioner: I’ll be honest—I find the "philosophy of AI" a bit indulgent. We aren’t guessing anymore. We’re building systems that work. GPT, AlphaFold, Sora... these aren't accidents. We’ve clearly cracked the code on how intelligence functions. Philosopher: I don’t doubt the results. But results

Another banger by J. B. Crawford in his "Computers Are Bad" series, this time going through computer history from PLATO to Lotus Notes. PLATO is probably the most influential computer system almost nobody knows about (unlike, say, Mother of All Demos).

Faculty Defect From Texas Publics, Citing Censorship
Fed up with the state’s censoring of Plato, Joan of Arc and Romeo and Juliet, humanities professors are leaving Texas public institutions in pursuit of academic freedom.

Ni SSD ni discos convencionales: así es la nueva bestia de 40 TB que utiliza láseres
El eterno debate entre SSD y discos duros tradicionales nunca nos ha abandonado, pero mientras tanto WD ha presentado sus nuevos discos de 40 TB , una capacidad récord lograda gracias a la tecnología HAMR (grabación magnética asistida por calor) para intentar inclinar la balanza una vez más. Este sistema utiliza láseres de precisión para calentar la superficie del plato, permitiendo escribir datos con una densidad que hasta ahora era físicamente imposible.
