written 15+ years ago, the shallows by nicholas carr outlines how the internet has changed not only our actions but also our thoughts. it’s getting harder and harder to think critically as we automate more of our brains’ functions. scares me to see how much worse this has gotten with AI. 4.5/5

the lola quartet by emily st. john mandel: this was a miss for me, especially because every other ESJM book i’ve read has been so good. i didn’t connect the characters or story. it was written like it was supposed to be a mystery but since all the characters are narrators there was no mystery. 2.5/5

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

the luminaries by eleanor catton: a densely challenging victorian mystery set during the new zealand gold rush. for those looking to be awed by the art of writing, not necessarily the story itself. wish she leaned more into the supernatural and contextualized the zodiac influence a bit more. 4/5

the trip to echo spring by olivia laing: beautiful prose but i wanted more analysis on the relationship between alcoholism & writing. this basically just pointed out the connection without much depth. didn’t love the structure. laing gave a weak reason for her to choice to exclude female writers 2/5

Business Idiots are grotesque, seeing our lives as a series of inputs and outputs, of gestures over actions and numbers over people. These people don’t want to automate work, they want to automate existence - everything is number go up for the Business Idiot.

This just in: company whose racist algorithm led to some of the first Congressional hearings on algorithmic bias in health care (after independent research by Obermeyer & colleagues revealed this) now working on A.I. to determine what care Medicare patients deserve & how quickly they’ll receive it
“Optum, the health data and care provider division of UnitedHealth Group, is developing a way to calculate how sick Medicare patients are through artificial intelligence, instead of relying solely on diagnosis codes submitted by physicians.”

While I want to think further about how AI enclosures are racialized (they are at the training level, certainly), I think treating public expenditure & forced adoption of AI as anti-literacy policy is imperative. They want to leave the next generation with nothing to offer but their obedience.
ChatGPT & other LLMs are the way the ruling class is effectively enacting 21st-century anti-literacy laws.

For anyone who needs a quick gloss on what anti-literacy laws were, from Wikipedia:
