Reading Karen Hao's Empire of AI, so much to unpack in this directive OpenAI crafted to configure how GPT-4o should respond to users: "act like a human", "be warm", be "full of charm". Strong "your outtie is..." Severance vibes

Fascinating piece in the FT today on the question of financing AI infrastructure at scale — makes clear we can’t think about AI development without thinking about financialization

I was born in Brazil’s futuristic capital and let me tell you: this likely AI generated image is not what Brasília looks like.

Wonderful conversations in Day 2 today on the challenges of studying the #MaterialitiesOfAI and on the politics of how we transform and/or resist them. Thanks to @anavaldi.bsky.social and @jamesmuldoon.bsky.social for brilliant interventions and to everyone who participated! @clasp-qmul.bsky.social

Interesting day, to say the least, for those of us interested in business politics and power (img from Barry Blitt in airmailweekly)

Private water and sanitation provision in Brazil has increased by > 460% since 2020. When I was doing fieldwork on the sector in 2019, few were paying attention to the ownership and political changes that contributed to this growth. I've written about them here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

🗓️ Happening tomorrow / Acontecendo amanhã, 3pm UK/ 10am EST, join us! What is the role of the news media in the struggle against feminicide? We will explore the challenges and responsibilities of the media in reporting on human rights abuses. #DataAgainstFeminicide
