One day SWEs will grok the entire normative structure of rationality (and abandon orthogonality thesis)
The second edition of my book, Logiciel, is finally out. It sold out a while back, so I'm happy to see it back in print. I wrote it six years ago but there are many points I still adhere to—not least computation as the encoding of real patterns.

My piece 'Art & Language After AI' is published open access in the latest issue of Technophany Journal.
It tracks the shift from algorithmic to neural composition as a watershed moment in computational aesthetics.

A draft of my paper 'Turing Trauma', which relates Sellarsian, Marxian and Fanonian modes of alienation to a specific humiliation of the human brought about by AI, is now available.

I'm presenting a paper entitled 'Turing Trauma: Blind Spots in the Synoptic Vision of Intelligence' at this conference on Marxism and the Pittsburgh School next week at UCL in London.
Hope to see some of you there.

My essay 'On Two Notions of Frame' is in this collection published by &&&. I discuss the frame problem in AI, constrasting Kripke semantics with locale theory under a realizability interpretation of logic.

The slides from my talk at @antikythera_xyz, entitled 'The Topological View', are now available, sans speaker notes since I tend to ramble of my own accord.

I have an essay co-authored with @AestheManag titled 'Pointless Topology: Figuring Space in Computation and Cognition' in this bilingual edition published by Transcript Verlag and Schaufler Lab.
Alongside @lukas_likavcan @Carlolssongeo and many others.
