"I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and it’s impossible to have rational conversations with them about it.
I can’t name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out."

AI Mania Is Eviscerating Global Decisionmaking
The reality of how much damage AI mania is doing to our ability to run institutions effectively.

"none of these legacy behaviours are rational. They arise out of that bundle of behaviours inherited from our two billion years of sexually selected ancestors... If our ancestors had not had these behaviours, we would not be here. Our ancestors were not, in the sense we mean here, rational... A purely rational being — a being created ab initio rational — would not have these behaviours.
No one is proposing to build an AI with a lizard brain. It won't happen."

The Frey Wille Hundertwasser Street Rivers collection testifies to his commitment to architecture

Hundertwasser was strongly committed to architecture and fought for a more natural and human-friendly construction.
He despised rational, sterile architecture and demanded more space for individual design.
In this context, he campaigned for a "tree obligation" and a "window right&…

If you are a member of the NRA, or know someone who is, I’d particularly encourage you to demand to know why they aren’t leaping to decry the fact that the Trump admin today charged people with a crime for merely •discussing• legal carrying to a protest.
Not because the NRA will have some kind of rational “OMG” moment about it — they’re fashy through and through — but rather because this is one of the many fault lines on the right, and it’s our job to pry those fault lines open.

Folks, I'm curious.
Over on Bluesky I was bragging about the warm and welcoming attitude to trans people that I have noticed on the Fediverse, and was attacked by a couple of people with obvious mental health problems, but also one polite and rational person who sent me this link, to a 3 year old blog.
It's loooooooog. But skim-reading it, it is detailing some weird bunch who purportedly were/are(?) taking over moderation in the Fedi.
Anyone even heard of this?

I find sociology to be an endlessly fascinating subject. Today, I was thinking about the concept of path dependence.
This is the concept that the current state is not merely dependent on recent rational choices, but also on prior states, conditions, beliefs, norms, and values, some of which may no longer exist.

Constructing Discontinuous but Locally Bounded Rational Functions using Łojasiewicz Inequalities
For real multivariate polynomials $P$ and $Q$ both vanishing at a point, if the zero set of $Q$ is contained in the zero set of $P$, then there exists a rational function of the form $P^{p}/Q^{q}$ which is locally bounded and such that its extension that vanishes on the zero set of $Q$ is discontinuous. The proof uses inequalities of Lojasiewicz.

DEVELOPER: I am a Rational Person and I do not believe in superstition
ALSO DEVELOPER: This randomly generated code must be correct because the tests all pass

I would always assume without much thought that rational thinking and rational acting would always win in 'in the long run'.
That's the idea of enlightenment: There is a truth and we find it and act upon it in our best interest and mathematical optimization and so on.
But no. Also the success of rationality is dependent on society! It needs an environment to succeed.
Stupid example: If the police would punch everybody who makes rational arguments in public, people would abandon rationality.

Slices of the special linear algebraic cobordism spectrum

Abstract: Let $F$ be a field of exponential characteristic $e$. We compute the slices of $\mathbf{MSL}[e^{-1}]$, where $\mathbf{MSL}$ is the special linear algebraic cobordism spectrum defined by Panin and Walter. The answer is expressed in terms of the second page of the Adams-Novikov spectral sequence for the special unitary cobordism spectrum, which was explicitly determined by Novikov. Its applicability is demonstrated by computations with the slice spectral sequence for $\mathbf{MSL}$, which determine the first few Milnor-Witt stems of its homotopy groups (up to the third) in terms of very effective hermitian $K$-theory. We also establish a decomposition of the rational special linear algebraic cobordism spectrum over an arbitrary qcqs scheme.

Extending the El Farol Bar Game with Partial Observability and Incentive Design

Abstract: The El Farol Bar game is a classic model of coordination under uncertainty, traditionally treating the venue as a passive constraint. In this work, we re-conceptualize the problem by modeling the bar as a strategic player equipped with AI-driven learning capabilities. We extend the original framework to include partial observability, i.e., agents observe only subsets of past attendees, and transform the bar from a passive capacity threshold into an active mechanism designer that adjusts pricing policies to balance revenue, utilization, and sustainability constraints. Agents employ AI-based learning to form beliefs and adapt attendance strategies under incomplete information, while the bar uses policy learning to optimize dynamic pricing. The resulting two-sided learning system frames coordination as a co-evolutionary process between boundedly rational agents and an adaptive institution, offering insights into congestion management, resource allocation, and mechanism design in complex adaptive systems.

Abstract: Let $m,l\in\N$ be relatively prime and let \[ \Omega_{m/l}^{n 1}=\bigl\{(z,w)\in\C^n\times\C:\ \norm{z}^{m}<\abs{w}^{l}<1\bigr\} \] be the rational generalized Hartogs triangle of exponent $m/l$ in $\C^{n 1}$. In this paper, we study the Berezin transform $\BB_{m/l,n}$ associated with the Bergman kernel of $\Omega_{m/l}^{n 1}$, and prove that $\BB_{m/l,n}$ is bounded on $L^p(\Omega_{m/l}^{n 1})$ if and only if $p>m nl$.

#FLOSS ecosystem.
I don't think we have a clear idea yet of what's to come, but a recurring image in our conversations is that of feudal age alchemists: closed, hermetic, underground groups, sharing knowledge in tight secret circles, never with the wide public... it's certainly not a pretty picture, but it might be the "rational" conclusion for many.
When we see the threat of big corporations (or just petty unimaginative people) stealing our work, what can we do, when collective action has been labelled as criminal activity, other than hide or risk the severe consequences of being combative?
