The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Saw a movie about one of those farcical-but-serious episodes of Finnish history: the kidnapping of (former) president K. J. Ståhlberg and his wife Ester, who wouldn't be left behind, by hapless far-right goons. The movie was very much "inspired by a true story," so here's my version. A THREAD:

i keep saying this but LLMs are almost ideally shaped for collective ownership. the union idea is a super interesting direction to go with that

I have not seen much conversation about worker-owned AI models, nor have I seen any unions talking about collectively-owned platforms, but that's what a good alternative should look like. I do understand people will say that sounds insane; It usually takes about 7 years until people think I'm sane.

Very proud of this piece (forthcoming in JEL). It took years to write and edit. But happy of the final outcome, and even happier to see how the literature grew even as we were reviewing it!
