A still from Sky Hopinka’s POWWOW with a dancer standing in the center of a small field with a spotlight shining down on him in the Seattle night.

A still from JJ Gerber’s THE LIFE WE LEAVE, a documentary about human composting, with a group sitting on the ground next to containers holding the remained of loved ones that are currently composting.

A still from Valerie Veatch’s GHOST IN THE MACHINE, a documentary about AI, with a hand holding robotic eyes and a hinge of some kind.

A still from James Benning’s EIGHT BRIDGES with a titular bridge extending out into the distance before us with water gently flowing by.

SIFF lineup is out with local gems + some of the more ambitious programming of recent memory. Thus, burned the midnight oil to write up early recs (POWWOW PEOPLE, THE LIFE YOU LEAVE, GHOST IN THE MACHINE, & EIGHT BRIDGES) for @thestranger.com to get ya started 📽️

This is disappointingly-credulous xrisk palace intrigue, utterly failing to contextualize the xrisk/AGI narratives.

The public would be better served reading @timnitgebru.blacksky.app and @xriskology.bsky.social on TESCREAL or watching Ghost in the Machine notaidoc.com @ghostdoc2026.bsky.social

Just saw the documentary "Ghost in the Machine" (@ghostdoc2026.bsky.social) at UCLA's DataX, and the film and the panel were both fantastic! A big thanks to everyone who put it together, as well as the panelists and moderator.

Paper abstract: The ubiquity and ease of use of large language models makes it easy to overlook the interactional and interpretive processes at play. To understand the attraction of this technology we need to trace its sociotechnical roots. From divination and horoscopes and from ELIZA to present -day large language models, I document how people have been thinking with things, outsourcing judgement, and making sense of interactively presented non-sense. Following the lead of Lucy Suchman to “slow down discourses of the ‘smart’ machines ” , I consider the interactional foundations of our engagement with technologies of language. I make the case that the fluid output, fine-tuned overconfidence, and interactive design of these computational artefacts conspire to exploit our interpretive processes and interactional infrastructure, rendering them irresistible to lay people and researchers alike. This means that a deep understanding of processes of human interaction and sense -making will be a foundational resource for the growing arsenal of methods in critical AI literacy.
