Admired Jonathan Sterne's work. Didn't have the pleasure to know him. His influence is notable among practitioners of all kinds... writers, artists, musicians... Feeling gratitude right now.

What are the emergency plans for @archive.org ? Musk and the Trump Administration will surely target it. It is vulnerable because it is an US-based NGO. Are there backup plans outside of US control? We need an European initiative!

Chatbot Software Begins to Face Fundamental Limitations | Quanta Magazine Recent results show that large language models struggle with compositional tasks, suggesting a hard limit to their abilities.

Nice read about the insides of LLMs, featuring their failure at compositional tasks and their need of external chain of thoughts: "It’s mimicking something that it has seen, but it doesn’t have full understanding of it” www.quantamagazine.org/chatbot-soft...

World in a Box: Cardboard Media and the Geographic Imagination Cardboard boxes hold a world of meaning — a geography of consumption, disposal, and reuse — that spans from Amazon to the Container Corporation of America.

As Black Friday purchases begin to arrive at your door, consider their packaging — more than likely in cardboard boxes. These "abject objects," @shannonmattern.bsky.social writes, are touchpoints to a global apparatus of commerce, consumption & waste. They bring the logistics chain to our doorsteps.
