…And that "at all costs" model in turn seems to be founded on the circular argument that "we have to use 'AI' so that/because it will be useful."
Which… yeah, no.
Instead, we need nuanced criticality to question how, when, & perhaps more crucially *Whether* we should make & use "AI" tools, at all.

As an expert in the philosophical, social, & historical implications of technology allow me to explicate how self-referentially arguing that, in spite of its harms, "AI" is necessary because it will be necessary thus a) amounts to a continual cock gargling of the "AI" industry & b) is bad news bears

What does brain criticality have to do with cognitive effort and cognitive flexibility? Come check out work by Dr. Li Xin Lim - postdoc in the lab - on Monday from 8 to 12 at (Board OO6) to find out. Here we come #SfN2025!

Synergy mediates Long-Range Correlations in the Visual Cortex Near Criticality
Long-range correlations are a key signature of systems operating near criticality, indicating spatially-extended interactions across large distances. These extended dependencies underlie other emergen...

What's one of your favorite Joan Baez songs? 🎶
Joan Baez released her criticality acclaimed 2nd studio album, Joan Baez, Vol. 2 in September 1961. Two months later, on Saturday, November 11, 1961, Baez performed her first concert as the headliner at New York Town Hall. The bluegrass band 👇

I was at a UX conference on Friday and was reminded why I tend to prefer tech or service design conferences (and ok sure the ones with a bit more intentional criticality thrown in but honestly I have more tolerance for hype and silliness in those contexts).

With Debian’s recent announcement for Rust dependencies in APT by May 2026, the criticality of memory safe code is once again in the news. At ZeroTier, we’ve been all-in on the shift, and our founder Adam Ierymenko laid out why in his deep dive on Built-In. #memorysafecode #RustDev #LinuxDev
Debian’s APT Package Manager to Integrate Rust Code by May 2026
Debian developers confirm that Rust will become a hard dependency for APT starting May 2026, aligning with modern development practices.

Subcritical tests are likely to be close to criticality, and it would be easy to go a few thousand atoms over. That's a tiny, tiny amount. Ankit's thread references the hydronuclear experiments done at Los Alamos in 1960-61. I've monitored that site, and there's no measurable fission products. 2/

Self-organised criticality is inherent to sand piles giving small avalanches, and stock markets, alike.
Top traders have honed their intuitions accordingly, and their emotions are useful to them.
Unlike those who ape their outer presentation, not realising such insight is a rare and precise skill.

How long do you think the stock market will continue to use feelings as it's primary metric?

So many things going wrong across the Empire. So many lit fuses. It could only take a single major criticality or a set of small criticalities to trigger a cascade of critical events across many industrial sectors, civic utilities, food security, energy, communication, capital, etc.

There are some extremely dirty designs out there, if that's your *goal* ;) My favourite is the "nuclear saltwater rocket". You store a plutonium-saltwater in neutron-absorbing capillaries. When you inject it into the chamber, there's enough in one place that it hits criticality and explodes out.

Example principle: a brain balance point called "criticality". The brain is a "dynamical system". These systems require balance.
And you can measure how balanced a brain is. Deviations from it can predict Alzheimer's before symptoms!!

LLMs glaze people, they have a hard time with actual criticality. I’m usually very supportive in presentation feedback but I will ask questions and point out areas that could be stronger.

Crit is infamous in this setting because he is created by a syndicate dedicated to maintaining technical superiority in the production of combat robots. He is specifically designed to haunt, hunt down, and kill bots that rival their syndicate's level of tech.
