My prediction in @wired.com: 2025 is the year of AI agents. The coming psychopolitical regime "directs the environments where our ideas are born, developed, and expressed. Its power lies in its intimacy—it infiltrates our subjectivity. We will be playing an imitation game that ultimately plays us."

In 2010, anti-copyright activist Aaron Swartz hanged himself after being prosecuted to the full extent of the law for making copyrighted academic publications freely available. Today, academic publishers are insisting those copyrights be lifted to feed the corporate AI slop machine.

Kudos to @henriksaetre.bsky.social & @evanselinger.bsky.social for a brilliant paper on techno-solutionism. Read this if only for zingers: "Like everyone else, people in the tech industry can have complex inner lives and act for mixed reasons." [::giggle:: to "can"] link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Wonderful teaching resource with further reading suggestions by @robkitchin.bsky.social, Critical Data Studies: An A to Z Guide to Concepts and Methods! This is so useful for building a fundamental understanding of everything data-related before getting into more complex discussions.

Special issue call on "Post-Platform Education" If "Big Tech is asserting control over the material infrastructures, discursive framings, & economic logics undergirding educational digitalization," then how can we "reimagine digital education ecosystems"? think.taylorandfrancis.com/special_issu...

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.
