Something Kevin’s recent pieces have flagged for me is the sneaky veil of ideological compression involved around “AI” in critical discourse and not merely in the obvious hype cycle.

I am looking forward to discussing later today my new co-authored book (Transition Imaginaries: Contested Temporalities, Affective Politics, and Decolonial Technology) as part of this excellent webinar series. See below details if interested

Join us for another online seminar in the Weather, Climate & Health IMH theme series. Dr @benoitdillet.bsky.social (Bath) will talk on "Overcoming the sad affects of the energy transition" (w/ Sophia Hatzisavvidou), further marking their new book ("Transition Imaginaries"). Free registration ⬇️

💥 Really happy to see Transition Imaginaries published online 💥 In this book, @drsophiah.bsky.social and I critically question the affective attachments and political conceptions of technology in current projects of energy transition. (Published with Open Access) doi.org/10.1017/9781...

I cannot wait for this beauty to come out in the new few weeks 🔥🔥 I am really proud of all the work that has gone into this small book. I enjoyed collaborating with @drsophiah.bsky.social and witnessing the synergy we produced www.cambridge.org/core/element...

While the global elites are busy ignoring climate change, there is a shared sense of shame at the state of our damaged planet. See below my new article (open access) on this if you’re interested 🌏 Any comments / responses welcome

Is Starmer’s Labour far right? This question sounds absurd, but today, it is not only necessary but urgent to ask for anyone who still cares about democracy My thoughts on @reacpolrn.bsky.social reacpol.net/starmer-far-...

“We are up against an ideology that has given up not only on the premise and promise of liberal democracy but on the livability of our shared world – on its beauty, on its people, on our children, on other species. The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death.”

at this stage, there's a robust body of work exposing the unreliability and limitations of llms but what will it take for governments, businesses, and other large institutions to rid critical social infrastructure off llms

Excellent essay by R. H. Lossin on our contemporary culture/aesthetics of technofascism www.e-flux.com/criticism/65...

This is hilarious and frightening too… the tech oligarchs will now cry to ask for more money from the US state

For @us.theguardian.com, I wrote about how Silicon Valley’s right-wing politics go back to the dotcom mania of the 1990s — and how they’re far more central to the tech industry than we’ve previously thought www.theguardian.com/technology/n...

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

This is incredibly worrying & dangerous. Looks like a clear indication of how large social media platforms are now actively becoming a part of an #authoritarian shift in US politics & beyond.

“Musk has seemingly become the first tech leader to fall down the rabbit hole of radicalisation by his own product” - except he re-designed the political affordances of Twitter, it is not accidental but deliberate. He’s a troll that managed to escape the confines of Twitter on.ft.com/40mRyAq

The case for a public digital stack NOW !

$104bn will be spent in this year alone searching for, and exploiting, off-shore oil and gas possibilities. It's the highest level since 2016 and further proof that there is no such thing as a green capitalist transition. www.ft.com/content/5c49...
