A batch of the best highlights from what J's read, .
The *apparent acquittal* of the disciplinary societies (between two incarcerations); and the limitless *postponements* of the societies of control (in continuous variation) are two very different modes of juridical life, and if our law is hesitant, itself in crisis, it’s because we are leaving one in order to enter into the other.
Postscript on the Societies of Control
Gilles Deleuze
There is, as one assumes there must be, a countervailing or centrifugal force that also operates in our society, but this returns to the countryside not the residue of the land’s growth to refertilize the fields, not the learning and experience of the greater world ready to go to work locally, and not – or not often – even a just monetary compensation. What are returned, instead, are overpriced manufactured goods, pollution in various forms, and garbage.
The World-Ending Fire
Wendell Berry
Note that this does not imply that we necessarily think our Generative AI models are conscious. We likely address them "as if" they were another, what Sweeney (2023) describes as a fictional dualism (also see Coeckelbergh 2011; Krueger & Osler 2022; Krueger & Roberts 2024; Roberts & Krueger 2022).
