I was overdue a re-introduction (which may be updated soon), so here goes: I’m an independent researcher working on the digital surveillance system that I call the Ludopticon!
I also enjoy gaming, philosophy and SF!

My motion against mandatory digital ID has gained a lot of cross-party support.
Combined with the Govt's alarming new restrictions on the right to protest freely, these plans represent an enormous threat to civil liberties.

Here’s something I saw happening as a result of the Ludopticon; buying your public platform by selling your private self. Parasocialism allows users to remix and decontextualise creators/public figures/people they know like an extremely visceral form of fan fiction.
For @spitfirenews.com, I found that increasingly realistic AI-generated videos are being deployed to harass, smear, and create endless offensive content of influencers, whose likenesses are already readily available online. It’s happening to private figures, too.

So in therapy recently, we’ve been talking about embodiment and how mind/body disconnect is such a common theme in the digital world. The push towards ubiquitous computing accelerates thjs condition, something I feel is like a form of digital zoochosis - humans as organism detached from the tactile

What’s happening with TikTok and Oracle is peak Ludopticon: the promise of play with purpose on a platform that increasingly changes its rules behind the scenes when we become too invested creatively, socially or financially.

Do you remember the analogy of the paperclip maximiser for AI alignment? Where, instead of paperclips, it would cover the earth in data farms through instrumental convergence? Looks like humans are doing it right now. Maybe capitalism was the optimising system we needed to watch out for all along.

What I like to do is to go outside or just somewhere away from my desk with a notebook or my laptop and write up an introduction to something I’m working on. No wifi on or my books around me; just my thoughts, seeing what I remember in the moment. You might surprise yourself!

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world

Ok, so I need to read this book ⌚️
Just in case anyone in publishing is reading this and wants to commission me to write "The World in a Watch" - a book about how the key scientific principles that govern the physical world can all be observed and understood through watch mechanisms.
LOTS I wanted to write about for this which didn't fit in / wasn't appropriate for target age. I *love* watch mechanisms and reckon I could teach pretty much every topic in GCSE Physics - forces, energy, pressure, even radioactivity - by relating it to some aspect of how a watch works.

So many of us carry a little digital version of ourselves around that we might not even be aware of.
Spread between platforms, pixelated from the data points of our clicks, hovers, comments, uploads, searches… they become an extension of our subconscious and form this cyber essence 1/3

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

Value is needed in order to prioritise and filter out in a sea of qualia; vital for our survival mechanisms in a world that gets increasingly saturated with noise.

We need more polymaths. Science without the humanities, lacks humanity.
Excellent op-ed by C. Alcantara and C. Anderson:
"The emphasis on STEM education has created a generation disengaged from fields like history, political science and sociology — fields that teach societies how to coexist amid pervasive economic and social divisions."

We’re creating a society that builds extraordinary technology but lacks the wisdom to use it responsibly
Education should not be about choosing between economic prosperity and social cohesion.
