AI, and related computing technologies, increasingly function as a mirror of our humanity. It’s a profoundly useful and illuminating mirror, yet one that also creates for us, like Narcissus, a mortal danger. https://t.co/aWjxfJUPjB

🔥 Happy Publication Day to SCORCHED EARTH by historian Paul Thomas Chamberlin! This compelling work challenges the traditional narrative of WWII, presenting it as a brutal struggle among imperial powers rather than a clear-cut battle between good and evil. Chamberlin delves into the racial atrocities, colonial legacies, and the emergence of new superpowers that reshaped the global order.

Fabulous book, in general, and especially the introduction, which confirms my beliefs about the meaning of the words models, theories, metaphors.

Interesting talk by historian of mathematics Karen Parshall about a big fight in topology -- specifically, between algebraic topology (advocated by Solomon Lefschetz) and point-set topology (advocated by RL Moore) in America in the 1930s. https://t.co/IIS6mCy516
