💻️ #Algorithms can help governments manage complexity. But they cannot settle disputes over fairness, dignity and responsibility. 💭 İbrahim Hatipoğlu argues that so-called 'wicked' policy problems require political judgement before technical optimisation. 👉️ bit.ly/4wkeNJr

Please read this @nickkristof.bsky.social article. It is one of the most upsetting things I’ve ever read — so prepare yourself. But please do not look away. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

A slightly long and technical but very good essay on why the fundamental does not always mean the smallest. It also opens a useful conceptual window onto complexity.

A good book. It explains a technical neuroscience topic as simply as possible. The personal stories felt a bit too present at times, though understandable for popular science. My takeaway: what remains of what we live through is a bit of electricity, a bit of cellular connection.

A provocative but useful reminder. “100% human-authored” may be a comforting label, but writing has never been produced in isolation from tools, infrastructures, institutions, editors, etc.

I came across this a bit late, but many thanks for mentioning our edited volume. It is great to see the book still being connected to debates on elections, local politics, and social media.

Some patterns in academia are widely known, but it is good to see them documented.

A compelling piece claiming to connect human learning and excess capacity in AI. There’s also a BBS call for short commentaries.

This looks like a timely and important CFP for scholars working on AI, governance, and global inequities.
