“Humans have always been radically shaped by the designs they produce” - Beatriz Colomina, Mark Wigley
The same generative AI models that power programs like ChatGPT are now being used to supercharge video surveillance.
Policymakers must create guardrails before we're stuck in a dystopian nightmare.

In the spirit of human agency, my readings this year reflected an embrace of human-centered books in the backdrop of dystopian milieu.
Here’s the list of the books I’ve read in 2024. May the road rise with you in 2025.

“Artificial intelligence” as a term can be misleading as it doesn’t really fit the definition of “intelligence” as we know it: the skilled use of reason: “skilled,” as in “having acquired a mastery,” and “reason,” as in “a rational ground or motive.”
New study finds that frequent use of AI tools encourages offloading cognitive tasks and reduces critical thinking. Higher AI usage correlated with lower critical thinking skills, especially in younger users.

The annoying truth is that principled entrepreneurship along with trade organizations and various forms of collectives is effective praxis and we need more of it.
Running a business that doesn't take venture and actually has to make money is really hard, but society needs those.
