Data Center resistance: a good ground game can help stop the corporate AI offensive
Major tech companies–OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini), Anthropic (Claude), Meta (Llama), and xAI (Grok)–are spending heavily to boost the computing power of their respective large language artificial intelligence (AI) models. The companies claim that this spending will transform them into systems that businesses will happily pay to use and, in the near future, lead to artificial… Continue reading

Eating the Future: The Metabolic Logic of AI Slop
Millions of people watch a video of Tel Aviv in smoking ruins after an Iranian attack. Footage from a US bombing of Tehran takes the place of breaking news from a strike that is yet to happen.

Books: AI Is a Total Grift

The Government’s Request for Ideas on the Politically Controlled health record you’ll be forced to have
This Government believes AI will impact everything, and because it believes AI will impact everything and the Silicon Valley hype, the Government believes in the coming robotics revolution and can slash care worker visas because care worker jobs will “soon” be done by robots (remember to say thank you to chatGPT). What they’re doing for… Continue reading

The Ghost in the Machine. Artificial Intelligence and the Spectral Ontology of Value
Last February, I publicly questioned the existence of Jianwei Xun, an author who published a best-selling, critically acclaimed book titled Hypnocracy: Trump, Musk and the New Architecture of Reality. On his website and on academia.org — the original version of his profile can now be found only on Internet Archive — he claimed to be… Continue reading

The farcical fate of the corporate droid and their Cadmean victories
In 2018, David Graeber made the term ‘bullshit jobs’ famous, arguing that over half of societal work is pointless and becomes psychologically destructive when paired with a work ethic that associates productivity with self-worth. Now with the advent of AI and quantum computing, the need for human labour and, in fact, human cognition in the… Continue reading

Exposing the big con: The false promise of Artificial Intelligence
The leading big tech companies are working hard to sell Artificial Intelligence (AI) as the gateway to a future of plenty for all. And to this point they have been surprisingly successful in capturing investor money and government support, making their already wealthy owners even wealthier. However, that success doesn’t change the fact that their… Continue reading

AI chatbots: Hype meets reality
Artificial Intelligence seems to be everywhere. Companies use powerful AI chatbots on their web pages or phone systems to handle customer questions. Newsrooms and magazines use them to write stories. Film studios use them to produce films. Tech companies use them to program. Students use them to write papers. It seems like magic. And with… Continue reading

Anti-Capitalism Is The Only Way To Save Creativity From AI
I have never thought about what I would look like as a superhero or a spaceman or, I dunno, a lion. As such, I’ve never had the desire to submit photos of myself to an AI generator to spit out stunning images of my likeness in technicolour. And I don’t begrudge the folks who have… Continue reading

Military applications at centre of Britain’s plans to be AI superpower
The UK government published its National AI Strategy in mid-September, billed as a “ten-year plan to make Britain a global AI superpower”. Despite the hype, the strategy has so far attracted curiously little comment and interest from the mainstream media. This is a cause for concern because if the government’s proposals bear fruit, they will… Continue reading

War Mongering for Artificial Intelligence
The ghost of Edward Teller must have been doing the rounds between members of the National Commission on Artificial Intelligence. The father of the hydrogen bomb was never one too bothered by the ethical niggles that came with inventing murderous technology. It was not, for instance, “the scientist’s job to determine whether a hydrogen bomb… Continue reading
