name: Shaping the future
summary: (One of the things that goes with being an SF writer is that people expect
you to talk about, well, the future. Last week, engineering consultancy TNG
Technology Consulting invited me to Munich to address one of their technology
open days. Here's a transcript of my talk, which discusses certain under-considered
side effects of some technologies that you're probably already becoming familiar
with. Note that this is a long blog entry — even by my verbose standards — so
you'll need to hit on the "continue reading" link to see the whole thing.)

name: The home as a place of production
summary: Diverse work and the joy of making
author: Karen Rosenkranz

Bringing more creation into our homes as a way to feel connected to our surroundings and communities. I couldn't appreciate this article more!
### Highlights
> Connectivity and the distraction it enables should be contained.
---
> Everything is optimised for convenience, comfort and safety for the consumer (and surveillance/value extraction for the corporations providing it).
>
> This vision doesn’t sound very smart to me. Not only is it incredibly dull, it’s also totally disempowering.
---
> turning the home into a place of production again (and I don’t mean productivity!).
---
> This home of the future is one of reduced complexity, a place filled with fewer things, but things we know how to care for and repair.
---
> Part of the appeal of leaving the city is the potential to create homes (and lives) that allow for a greater diversity of activities.
---
> As AI-generated content becomes ubiquitous, ‘made by humans’ will become a quality trademark.
It'll be interesting to see whether "made by humans" is used as a pro-positive selling point, or whether "made without AI" is used as an anti-negative one. Currently I'm seeing more of the second (eg. [Not by AI](https://notbyai.fyi/))
---
> Everything we can do to loosen the grip of consumer capitalism on our lives helps us reclaim a bit of autonomy.
---
> These endeavours become even more empowering if they’re done in community.
---
> Let’s start here. Let’s replace personal comfort, convenience and safety with communal vitality, pleasure and agency.
