Stochastic Flocks and the Critical Problem of 'Useful' AI Acknowledging that AI systems are advancing does not buy into hype, it sharpens the precision of critical thinking about their impacts, says Eryk Salvaggio.

To acknowledge the ways AI systems are changing does not buy into hype, it sharpens the precision of critical thinking about their impacts. To make sense of what AI does to people, you also need to understand what it does for them, writes Eryk Salvaggio.

This was very good. Thanks for capturing the current critical moment, @eryk.bsky.social

Get down off the table, my guy - Johnathan & Melissa Is this just another hype cycle you can ignore until it dies off? Maybe. But our sense is that this one's gonna be different.

If you manage people, and you don't read @rawsignal.ca's newsletter... well, that's probably fine but you definitely should start.

Laauraaaaaa! Thank you 🫶🏻

At best an imposter, at worst a fraud - Johnathan & Melissa We need to acknowledge that the fake-it-and-hope-no-one-notices approach to management is having a real moment right now.

WE DID IT 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping. Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Toolkit: how we dealt with Border Patrol In November 2025, Border Patrol announced it would be coming to Charlotte, North Carolina. We only had a few days’ notice. Just like in Chicago and Los Angeles, they weren’t coming to “keep the peace....

Something folks can do in the coming weeks is to organize Ice Watch Training in your communities. There's an excellent resource that can help you to do this: docs.google.com/document/d/1... - Get five people together in person or virtually and get skilled up together.

Anyway. Here for *allllll* the sharp journalists unafraid to write pieces that are even obliquely critical of Canadian tech. If you have others I should be reading more, lmk. (Don't say @catherinemcintyre.bsky.social or @betakit.com, those are the gimmes)

(There are lots of others you should be reading, too! It's not zero sum! Don't be all twitter about this!)

Gotta say, if you are in Canadian tech, @aleksagan.bsky.social is someone you should be reading more.

Love a missing-tooth grin and a dedication to clear project roles ❤️❤️

Hey. Hey.

Hey. Northern hemisphere folks. You made it.

Tomorrow the days start getting longer again. ❤️

Liz this is so kind and thank you!

Toronto go see the sunrise right now if you can ❤️

This is the most human piece I've read in a long time. Highly recommend taking a break and sitting with it for a while.
