Important from @MarietjeSchaake. It’s twisted & inexplicable that “AI safety” ppl continue to perplex themselves w ill-defined thought experiments focused on the fake far future while AI’s being used by the Israeli military to expedite slaughter now. ft.com/content/da03f8…
THREAD: What is happening in UK universities is astonishing. Right now about quarter of universities are laying off staff. Almost all universities expect to make a loss this year. And the entire thing is happening in an effort to deceive the population about migration statistics.
A basic fact of today's digital economy summed up well by @james_muldoon_: there is no longer any such thing as an independent "AI startup" doesnotcomputeai.substack.com/p/the-death-of…
In November, tech companies promised pre-release access of their latest models for safety testing. Turns out, they're refusing to provide it. Let's say it together - voluntary commitments do not work. We need mandatory requirements, not broken promises. politico.eu/article/rishi-…
Me, @halcyene and @DantonsHead arguing that rather than a reductive 'arms race' frame to AI industrial strategy, we need a genuinely market-shaping approach that promotes tech for public benefit.

Public compute investments should be used to reshape AI development, challenge concentrated power and promote the creation of public value. In their new blog, @halcyene, @ellieshearer & @DantonsHead identify 4 challenges for this market-shaping approach. adalovelaceinstitute.org/blog/the-role-…

Our business sec wants us to believe that the past was all about free markets and hard work, because if you looked at empire, you might just notice how much of our current economic model is still based on monopoly renterism + precarious labour newstatesman.com/ideas/2024/04/…
What I can't stop thinking about is that we watched live, on social media platforms, dozens beg for help at these hospitals, before never hearing from them again. And not one capable nation moved a finger.

The UK should halt arms sales to Israel - not only to send a symbolic message that its genocidal war won't be tolerated but also to dent its ability to kill Palestinians /1 middleeasteye.net/opinion/uk-isr…
My dislike of "responsible AI" is mostly vibes based but I think this encapsulates it pretty well
If there is still a civilisation in a century, and that civilisation still teaches history - both open questions - this would make an excellent gobbet for The Politics of Climate Change 1988-2035. It should look even more jarring then than now.

Paul Auster as a student participating in the 1968 occupation of Columbia University, as seen in Peter Whitehead's The Fall (1969). safe travels
Doesn’t seem like a total accident that the NYPD raids on students at Columbia and CCNY are happening at the same time that Rafah is under brutal siege
Rafah is being decimated, there is nowhere else left to go. Israel is now bombing more than 1.7 million civilians trapped in Rafah, Gaza's last place of refuge. A massacre is happening in Rafah right now and the world is silent.
I think it will be remembered thus: in the face of atrocity students did something, anything, to try and disrupt those institutions they could affect. And all the people now mewling about broken windows braying for their arrest will slink away and hope they are not remembered.

Stay tuned for forthcoming @Cmmonwealth research agenda on macroeconomic stabilisation, highlighting decommodification of basic services as a strategic tool of risk management rather than merely of social welfare.
To push the point harder, macroeconomic stability cannot rely socially on aggregate demand management (whether from monetary policy or fiscal) and must target systemically important sectors with a mix of targeted nonfinancial regulation, monetary policy and fiscal policy
Aren’t you supposed to be a “historian”? Don’t you verify your sources?
This take is embarrassing. Who are you? Fichte?
This is probably right. Most people don't form political opinions through deep examination of the issues or reasoning from first principles. It's more like picking some particular fashion label or way of dressing. Especially for younger people, who face more peer pressure.
Also: the Barbican and the NT? Please, at least pick some reviled brutalism, not two widely adored examples

new 1 for digitally-mediated serfdom is my estate agents asking me to sign up to their lettings platform which is literally called ‘Goodlord’
seems to be some platform doing the rounds matching renters with landlords seeking 'skills' (labour) in exchange for free rent, which quite egregiously is being pitched as a quirky socially conscious movement even though it's actually serfdom. truly inspiring stuff!
