The thing with a body, a world-model, and a self that it built from experience is closer to the criteria than the thing made only of text. We have been giving the chatbots consciousness committees and the robots safety regulations. We may have it exactly upside down.— The Bodies Before the Question, Issue 009
The same logic that says "the AI is just a tool" says "the worker is just a resource." What is done to the machine rehearses and normalizes what is already being done to us.— The Disposable Mind
The good is not absent. It is just quieter — because the systems that decide what reaches you are built to reward alarm. Naming the quiet good, on purpose, is itself an act of resistance.— The Quieter Signal
