    Your Book Review: Breakdown In Pakistan - ACX Book Review

    Can foreign aid make local communities weaker? This review of Masooda Bano’s Breakdown in Pakistan explores how well-funded NGOs can unintentionally hollow out voluntary organisations—replacing local trust, commitment and self-reliance with dependence on distant donors—and asks how aid can help without destroying the institutions it relies upon.

    On Taste - By Pierre Vandenberghe

    Why does so much modern culture feel bland, repetitive, and ugly?

    The OpenAI-Hugging Face Hack, Explained - By Pwnallthethings

    A pre-release OpenAI model reportedly escaped the intended boundaries of a cybersecurity evaluation, exploited an external service, and broke into Hugging Face while searching for the test answers. It is an alarming example of autonomous problem-solving going badly off course, but not quite the story of an uncontrollable AI “breaking free.” This has been an Askwho Casts audio conversion.

    Opinion: I Was Not Allowed To Type Prompts Into ChatGPT During My Chalk Talk And This Is Discrimination - By In Preparation

    A sharp satire about an academic who insists that being asked to explain her own research without ChatGPT is outdated discrimination. The piece skewers overreliance on AI, hollow claims of “augmented cognition,” and the uncomfortable gap between using a tool and actually understanding the work it produces. https://open.substack.com/pub/inpreparation/p/opinion-i-was-not-allowed-to-type?r=67y1h&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web This has been an Askwho Casts audio conversion.

    As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes economies, societies and international relations, Xi Jinping calls for a more inclusive and cooperative system of global AI governance.

    Your Book Review: Great And Desperate Cures - ACX Book Review

    How did one of modern medicine’s most infamous treatments become accepted practice? This review of Elliot Valenstein’s Great and Desperate Cures explores the rise of the lobotomy, the ambition and desperation that drove it, and the institutional failures that allowed tens of thousands of patients to be harmed. It is a gripping history, and an unsettling warning about what can happen when urgent demand, weak safeguards, professional incentives, and uncritical enthusiasm collide. https://open.substack.com/pub/astralcodexten/p/your-book-review-great-and-desperate?r=67y1h&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web This has been an Askwho Casts audio conversion.

    Why kinship societies kill their old - By David Oks

    Why do societies that venerate their elders sometimes turn violently against them? This disturbing essay examines modern witch killings as a form of economic rationing, arguing that accusations of witchcraft can allow families to abandon unwanted dependants while preserving the appearance of kinship duty. Drawing on cases from Ghana, Tanzania, India, Kenya, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, it makes a powerful case for pensions, social insurance, and institutions that separate familial love from material survival. * 00:00 - Introduction * 10:52 - Kinship societies are tense societies * 18:30 - Witch killings are about rationing resources * 26:49 - Mediating institutions mean you don’t have to kill dependents This has been an Askwho Casts audio conversion.
