Mark Gannon@markgannon· 10d Just read ‘Empire of AI’ by @karenhao.bsky.social Whilst largely focused on the story of Sam Altman and OpenAI it uses that to look at the history of AI & LLMs, the political, socio-economic, and environmental impacts of AI, and the tech, investment and startup ecosystem. Very enjoyable.

Mark Gannon@markgannon· Jul 23 This arrived today. One of my favourite ever albums. I walked the streets of London in 1998/99 with this on my CD Walkman non-stop during that period. Was also lucky enough to see them perform this live. A gloriously beautiful album that sounds new and exciting every time I listen to it. @4ad.com
Mark Gannon@markgannon· Jul 14 Just finished ‘Careless People’ by Sarah Wynn-Williams. Quite the story and everything that you imagined goes on in companies like Facebook - and more than you imagined. Sarah is now subject to atrocious legal harassment for her brave whistleblowing.
Mark Gannon@markgannon· Jun 2 Holiday read is ‘The Language of War’ by Oleksander Mykhed. Gritty and moving. This passage hit particularly hard:
“Ukrainian history is a history of constant demolition. We seldom inherit anything.
There is barely any continuity between generations.”
Something we all take for granted.
