@jeffreykirkwood.bsky.social‬, your book flipped my thinking about machines and humans in so many ways. An important history to prepare us for the coming AI disruptions.

The highest possible compliment, thank you! It was wonderful review and I learned a lot about my book from it

Delighted to read the excellent review by @wluers.bsky.social of my book Endless Intervals in @electronicbook electronicbookreview.com/essay/a-revi...

Sad to hear that Andy Rabinbach died. He was a defining intellectual force on campus and like 10 fields while I was at Princeton, his syllabus on Begriffsgeschichte is still the best, he was always open to meet, and Human Motor elevated being tired to its rightful position of utmost significance!

Ah that looks great. Imagining what it would be like if I could make it. I wrote about sci counterfactuals a few years ago and have been slowly working it into a book ever since mediarep.org/server/api/c...

I've seen some people posting clips of Milton Friedman on free trade as if it were a sage antidote to batshit tariffs and I'd just like to say NO

tiktok going down just before my media theory course begins is so convenient for my continuing to ignore it
