I cannot overstate Vaneigem's influence on my politics, how I view the world. During times of acute political depression it's his work that I'd turn to, and always feel uplifted & with a sense of community. What a great, vast mind. What sensitivity & precision. You'll be greatly, missed, hero. 🖤

Raoul Vaneigem—Situationist, author, and lifelong aspiring revolutionary—has passed away at the age of 92. "Let ten people meet who are resolved on the lightning of violence rather than the long agony of survival; from this moment, despair ends and tactics begin." —The Revolution of Everyday Life

I converted part of my #RSE Argentina talk into a blog post. ✍ If you're a researcher who values #openscience and computational #reproducibility but has never considered how it might change with the adoption of #AI, this post can offer some hints! 🔍 florencia-dandrea.netlify.app/posts/2026-0...

Challenges and potential for reproducible open science in the AI era – Florencia D’Andrea

This post covers three topics: AI and open science, reproducibility, and its impact on scientific practice. It assumes a basic level of AI knowledge and becomes more complex as the reading progresses....

El Sayed: "When it comes to trans rights, this is the right to get the health care that you need...It’s the right not to be discriminated against by your government because of who you are. Because what tends to happen is they come for theirs, then they come for yours"

The idea that we can assent to the taking away of anybody’s rights, and think that somehow the government won’t come for all of our rights, is itself the problem. And, look, I don’t need people to understand how they use their rights. I just need people to agree that the government shouldn’t be able to take any of our rights. I put my face on the ground thirty-four times a day, David. Most people don’t understand why I do it. I don’t need them to understand. I just want to have the right to do it. And when people decide that they want to take away my right to do that, I’ve got a problem.Now, I hope that everybody’s going to show up and say, No, no, no. You can’t stop that person or that community from reflecting and praying as they choose. Similarly, when it comes to trans rights, this is the right to get the health care that you need. That’s really what it comes down to. It’s the right to be who you are. It’s the right not to be discriminated against by your government because of who you are. Because what tends to happen is they come for theirs, then they come for yours, then they come for theirs. And at some point you live in a society where rights are negotiable, and that is not the America I was born in. It’s not the America I know and love. It’s not the America I’m going to allow somebody like Donald Trump to give us.

People will really believe we can cure thousands of diseases and go to the moon but that it's also impossible for human society to exist even slightly differently from exactly how it is now despite our species thriving without the existence of money for 200,000+ years

Okay, I finished this whole book. Major investment decisions are being made on 100-10,000x extrapolations of present technology. And some highly speculative sci-fi seems incorporated into interested parties evaluations of the benefits and risks of AGI.

Gradually making my way through Dwarkesh Patel's oral history of Generative AI. Big picture: Many AI designers seem to believe that because their software is smarter than they expected, it will inevitably become smarter than them.

The Scaling Era Dwarkesh Patel MORE An inside view of the Al revolution, from the people and companies making it happen. How did we build large language models? How do they think, if they think? What will the world look like if we have billions of Als that are as smart as humans, or even smarter? In a series of in-depth interviews with leading Al researchers and company founders - including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, DeepMind cofounder Demis Hassabis, OpenAl cofounder Ilya Sutskever, MIRI cofounder Eliezer Yudkowsky, and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg - Dwarkesh Patel provides the first comprehensive and contemporary portrait of the technology that is transforming our world. Drawn from his interviews on the Dwarkesh Podcast, these curated excerpts range from the technical details of how LLMs work to the possibility of an Al takeover or explosive economic... Except visible: Note how this stuff is weirder and harder than people might have imagined initially. But maybe you are able to train the model on nice real people and nice fictional people, and separately train it on what valid

What's consequential about generative AI isn't the interface, it's what lies beneath: cobalt mines in the DRC, lithium fields in the Andes, gas turbines burning methane in Black communities in Mississippi, workers in the Global South rating outputs for dollars a day. limn.press/article/plat...
