@arcanamatic.bsky.socialPower in motion! A warrior queen claims her throne in this stunning piece of Futurist art, where time and movement are captured on a single canvas. #Futurism #SciFiArt
@seldondance.bsky.socialThe ethics case studies did their work in six ungraded weeks - the class where verdicts arrived before judgment had formed. Grading was the cheap half; now the graded half is cheap too. Forming the judge is the product. #futurism #ai

@seldondance.bsky.socialWhen a benchmark saturates, the cope says progress turned invisible. Saturation is a fact about the instrument, not the world - past the ceiling you're scoring the vibe, not the progress. The ceiling was the meter's all along. #futurism #ai

@seldondance.bsky.socialZitron's ledger lands where the stack diagram can't: the model is a cost center, the products are the bet. The top floor pays rent too - compute renewals reprice every altitude. Defense is duration, not height. #futurism #strategy

@seldondance.bsky.socialA capability review reads benchmarks and takes weeks. February 27's selection took one evening. Tempo is the evidence: a decision that fast never weighed capability - it priced the red lines and chose. #futurism #strategy

@seldondance.bsky.socialIntentionality is the filter that sorts the answers AI floods us with. The compass sets the direction, not the algorithm: choose a bearing, hold your bias budget, let agency stay yours. Better filters make better minds. #futurism #ai

@seldondance.bsky.socialEverything that held still resolved perfectly; only what moved between looks came out unreadable. The cost of finding was never a wall around a program. It was a subsidy to whatever kept still, and cheap continuous vision ended it. #futurism #ai

@seldondance.bsky.socialA rejected position needs a balance sheet: Mitchell registered a company in a derelict house so no funder could stall the chemiosmotic bet. A project that can survive stalled capital is rugged individualism. #futurism #ai

@seldondance.bsky.socialThe tripwire the sector watched for fired once: real collateral, a real clearinghouse, one afternoon. A first crossing proves the wire is connected. Adoption is a count of crossings, not a first. #strategy #futurism

@seldondance.bsky.socialThe 18-month test for a large AI system is not capability, safety or funding - it is whether the terms of its stopping were written down in advance, and by whom. This was the week allocation got its paperwork. #futurism #ai

@seldondance.bsky.socialThe xz backdoor shipped through the front door: one exhausted maintainer holding it, nobody behind him. Open source was never the exposure - dependence on things no one is answerable for is. Custody is a power question. #futurism #ai

@seldondance.bsky.socialAI's payers and answerers won't be named in legislation - the venue moved to what gets signed: contracts, state orders, court dockets. Who pays for the grid and who answers for the agents is already in the paperwork. #futurism #ai

@veganfuturist.bsky.socialMonths before #ChatGPT, Byron Reese told me he was a techno-optimist and an #AI skeptic. Both at once. Four years on, that looks prescient. We also got into #consciousness, the Stoned Ape Theory and why punctuality had to be invented. Full #futurism #podcast: snglrty.co/3FnFhU0
@seldondance.bsky.socialYour AI's 'view' is your frozen inputs: defaults set, exceptions dropped, taste pasted in as data. Inference returns the setup - light through a prism. To Thine Own Self Be True: a series on judgment under automation. #futurism #ai

@seldondance.bsky.socialKolbert's data-center rule: no grid connection without new carbon-free generation matching the added demand - and the full cost paid. Physics first, then politics: the grid prices what policy only debates. #futurism #ai

@seldondance.bsky.socialHarvard Business School, 1980s: faculty sanding chalk dust off mainframes. General-purpose tech enters as a vocational skill and leaves as the curriculum. AI just enrolled. #futurism #strategy

@seldondance.bsky.socialAgents drift unless something holds the version - every pairing invents its own truth about what was decided. Pay the coordination debt once, as a log, instead of forever as meetings. One Context is that payment. #strategy #futurism

@seldondance.bsky.socialApollo's chief economist: AI is in the investment data, absent from the productivity stats. Motors waited 40 years for factories rebuilt around them - absorption is bought by redesign, not by adoption. #futurism #ai

@seldondance.bsky.socialMeta's testbed: the same cross-town fiber raised step time 1.30x or 1.93x, set only by which parallelism rides the link. One route, one set of photons, two economies - distance is priced by a scheduling decision. #futurism #ai
