Pop culture has entered into a nostalgic malaise. Online culture is dominated by trivial mashups of the culture that existed before the onset of mashups, and by fandom responding to the dwindling outposts of centralized mass media. It is a culture of reaction without action Picture Quote #1

If you love a medium made of software, there’s a danger that you will become entrapped in someone else’s recent careless thoughts. Struggle against that Picture Quote #1

I’m hoping the reader can see that artificial intelligence is better understood as a belief system than as a technology Picture Quote #1

We have repeatedly demonstrated our species's bottomless ability to lower our standards to make information technology look good Picture Quote #1

Funding a civilization through advertising is like trying to get nutrition by connecting a tube from one's anus to one's mouth Picture Quote #1
