Re-reading Garfinkel’s 1967 _Studies in Ethnomethodology_ and finding it hugely easier than on my first time through in 1987. I’ve learned and changed since then, but also— so have the times. What was almost incomprehensibly alien then is directly relevant to our now.

The amount of funding being (supposedly at least) funneled to AI is utterly mind-boggling, and if even .001 of it were diverted to something worthwhile, that would be fabulous and enough to create major breakthroughs in several fields.

Unfortunately “AI” currently means “image classification using texture matching,” and it seems difficult to make a case that EM would help with that. Maybe once that hype cycle is exhausted, the definition of “AI” will open up enough that EM may again seem relevant.
