This little pathogen I’ve created now has a life of its own. Virality Vitality, on the subterfuges of reproduction and contagion, has just been published!

Unfortunately, only in hardcover for the time being (https://t.co/zr66F5m08e); if you’d like to read it just get in touch.

Ah yes, having Claude code write your paper is exactly like spell check. You've got me.

@en_demic Wow that's a lot to grapple with! Sounds like it will be a very useful article - I'll look forward to reading it.

[Jonathan Basile @jonothingEB]

@Lasermazer @leifweatherby Thank you for sharing all this - I'll be interested to take a deeper look at it

[Jonathan Basile @jonothingEB]

I wrote an essay exploring how structuralism and deconstruction have informed recent theory around 'AI' and 'LLMs' including @leifweatherby's Language Machines: https://t.co/xgepmNr96A

@Elroy_Muscato No such thing ever happened. Be sure to check out Aporias and Archive Fever

[Jonathan Basile @jonothingEB]

Basically the same as what we've had for the last fifty years - everything emerging from complexity theory has the same intellectual roots as Hayek, so Latour/D&G/Haraway, a lot of "postmodern" stuff about networks and now new materialist stuff about webs/symbiosis could count

[Brad Skow @bradford_skow]

Serious question, what would Hayek-ian literary criticism look like?

[Jonathan Basile @jonothingEB]
