Looks super interesting!
Das israelische Militär eskaliert seine „Offensive“ & hat einen Zwangsevakuierungsbefehl für #KhanYounis, die zweitgrößte Stadt #Gaza s, erlassen und warnt vor einem „beispiellosen Angriff“. Die Ziele #Israel s waren von Anfang an klar. Und sie werden vor unseren Augen umgesetzt.
Well done Hungarian colleagues and friends!

Exciting new article by @uribejuanita.bsky.social on the way private actors normalize their governing roles in global food governance!
[REVOLVE] 2nd article we published with @emiliakorkeaaho.bsky.social. We explore how ethics policies, particularly revolving door (RD) regulations for EU Commissioners, are framed as tools mainly designed to protect EU institutions and legitimate RD.

A key question remains, and we may never have a satisfactory answer: what if the hype was always meant to fail? What if the point was to hype things up, get in, make a profit, and entrench infrastructure dependencies before critique, or reality, had a chance to catch up?54 Path dependency is well understood by historians of technology and those seeking to profit from AI. Today’s hype will have lasting effects that constrain tomorrow’s possibilities. Using the AI hype to shift more of our infrastructure to the cloud increases dependency on cloud companies, creating dependencies that will be hard to undo even as inflated promises for AI are dashed.
Great essay on the AI bubble deflation by @davidthewid.bsky.social & @histoftech.bsky.social
Thinking from my field, this is what the AI courses for teachers from OpenAI this week are for too: hyping AI into pedagogic habits & locking schools into path dependencies ash.harvard.edu/resources/wa...
Exactly. Resisting ChatGPT as the antithesis of education needs to become a movement.
Two happy authors at the London launch of 'Understanding Maritime Security '.
