    Starting tomorrow I will be posting my book, The Terraforming, here on my feed, passage by passage. The book is the program brief for the think-tank of the same name at in Moscow which begins its 3 year run this February. Full Kindle version

    What is most important for the plan is the difficult understanding of how our own physical embodiment and urbanism not only makes use of these automated prostheses, but are also themselves the effects and outcomes of those systems. We are the creature at the end of the tether.

    Again, the world is made and re-made not just by political decision, but by its dissolving of decision into automatic and prosthetic systems.

    The automation of action also transforms it from something that may require deliberation and decision into something that is merely given as a durable aspect of a dynamic but predictable habitat.

    AI (and software more generally) allows for relatively automated technologies to occupy positions that have traditionally been held by humans and vice versa, in principle allowing us to move into other areas of active labor — or not.

    Their position in the “user” layer shifts from moment to moment.

    The pervasiveness of automated machinery demonstrates not that animated machines are separate from humans, but that the entanglements of mutual prostheticization between them operate in diverse and various ratios and asymmetrically distributed agencies and counter-agencies.

    Not only is the action automated, the volition is as well. Agency seems here more like an illusion of how subjectivity imagines itself in verbs, nouns, causes, and effects than a fundamental executive in these distributed loops.

    In the regional cascade of biotechnical semiotics at an economic scale, any action that transforms the world can be absorbed into a technical process that no longer demands subjective volition for every operation.

    Each demands its own variance and invariance and its own disclosures, enclosures and disenchantments. In this, automation and ecology are co-extensive. Automation can be a form of artificial embodiment, but only in relative terms by which it is never fully autonomous.

    How else to make sense of it, then? Where do we fit in? Human bodies in these algebraic cascades can occupy positions of first mover, intermediate mediator, labouring cog, imprinted surface, and so on.

    If so, the 2030 deadline(s) for an artificial climate and automation plan demands something different and decisive.”

    *Is this another way that the self-regard of the now-convalescing boomer ‘68 generation refuses to let go and let us get on with cleaning up the layers of its mess?*

    It’s hard for me not to wonder if this is how the aftermath of post-structuralism has hamstrung how the humanities address planetarity today--....and if so, how can we unmake this?

    *Projects for which the representation of the world causes the world more than the other way around, or that the co-planetarity of organisms and machines and ecologies are characters in a big contested “Text”, are an ineffectual expression of 21st century, first-world Animism.*

    This means not just logging and mining, but also the theories that sees the world, the planet and the politico-geological phenomena called “the Anthropocene” as generated foremost by particular cultural narratives and so most essentially vulnerable to cultural critique.

    As I wrote earlier regarding anthropomorphic AI, “[a]rguably the Anthropocene itself is due less to technology run amok than to the humanist legacy that understands the world as having been given for our needs and created in our image.
