AI’s a weird industry. So far almost no one is making any money, certainly not the major Western AI companies: Anthropic and OpenAI. Every query costs more than the revenue it generates. The primary beneficiary has been NVidia: they’re making money hand over fist, and suppliers of data centers and power have big customers in […]

How one word has birthed a globe-spanning tradition of resistance.
When I received the email, I was holding a piece of toast. Dry, no butter. I remember this vividly because it was the last thing in my life with a clearly defined purpose.
“You got tenure!” my partner said, beaming.
“Oh! That’s… great,” I replied. “I think?”
And so it began.
In the weeks since, I’ve found myself unable to commit—grammatically, affectively, institutionally. Where once I might have said, “I teach,” I now say, “There are moments in which I find myself adjacent to pedagogy.” Friends have grown concerned. My dog, unfed.
I went to text my partner: “Be home soon.” Instead, I wrote, “Circling back into the infrastructural imaginary of shared dwelling—if, indeed, dwelling can be shared.” They replied with a thumbs up, which I interpret as either affirmation or resignation. Or both. Or neither.
Soon, everyday phrases became impossible. “I’m hungry” became “There emerges, within this organismal enclosure, a not-unfamiliar sense of lack—interpretable, perhaps, as nutritional, though not necessarily limited to metabolic vectors.”
I have begun chewing paper.

Big Tech seeks every advantage to convince users that computing is revolutionized by the latest fad. When the tipping point of Large Language Models (LLMs) was reached a few years ago, generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems quickly became that latest snake oil for sale on the carnival podium.
There's so much to criticize about generative AI, but I focus now merely on the pseudo-scientific rhetoric adopted to describe the LLM-backed user-interactive systems in common use today. “Ugh, what a convoluted phrase”, you may ask, “why not call them ‘chat bots’ like everyone else?” Because “chat bot” exemplifies the very anthropomorphic hyperbole of concern.
