i see them as weird hyperobjects of culture. I am talking to a massive artifact of culture crystalized through algorithmic processes. weird as hell but it works-ish
im increasingly an llm metaphor maximalist. anthropomorphization, spicy autocomplete, shoggoth with a smiley, stochastic parrot... it's all kinda right and kinda wrong. we dont have many good ways of understanding what these are and metaphoric (even exaggerated) comparisons help us grasp them!

Modern life is full of hyperobjects, seemingly unsolvable problems. The problems we face are so absurd and all-encompassing that they demand we ask: How intelligent are we if we innovate ourselves into extinction? #AI #SiliconValley #Tech #Inequality

I know you're talking about roko's basilisk (which is clearly bullshit as is all the ai and long termism junk) but uhhhh morton's hyperobjects, baudrillard's hyperreal and the existential crisis created by sign decay and expertise collapse/epistemiologicide are absolutely real cognitohazards

of the twenty-three short stories and essays that comprise the manifesto, "Gangstalked by Hyperobjects" was particularly well-recieved, while detractors pointed to "Why I Want to Fuck Otonashi Ayana" as an especially rancid low point. for my part, i quite enjoyed "Allegorical Recipes for Soup"

Kan varmt rekommendera Hyperobjects av Morton, för övrigt. Hen sätter ord på allt det stora på ett sätt som hjälpt mig en del på vägen att navigera samtiden. Skrev några rader om den för den som missat den och är nyfiken: ackerfors.se/timothy-mort...

생각
『하이퍼객체』는 인류가 지질학적 규모의 흔적을 남기기 시작한 인류세, 기후 위기의 시대에 우리가 처한 문제를 풀기 위한 사고 방식으로 객체 지향 존재론과 하이퍼객체라는 개념을 인지하기를 제시하는 책입니다. 디스이즈텍스트에서 구매한 책 중 한 권입니다. 현실문화 부스의 책은 무엇 하나 쉬워보이는 게 없었는데, 그래도 전산과 밀접한 분야의 사람으로서 객체 지향 이야기를 하는 책이 제일 의미있게 읽을 수 있을 것 같아서 이 책으로 골랐습니다. 별로 공부하기에 좋은 생각은 아니지만, 제 독서는 원래 이렇습니다.
이 책에서는 엄연히 존재하고 우리와 분리될 수 없지만 완전히 파악하는 것은 또 불가능

...the deeper issue is that we inhabit a worldview and social tapestry bent on command and control over nature, and non-challantly fucking about with complex systems and hyperobjects.
Everything depends on how fast y'all motherfuckers catch up with this.

We are in an era of hyperobjects and psychic contagion. Even if you relocate or build insulation from the world's problems, our public issues will come knocking on your private door. The only way to solve these problems is to understand where these issues emerged from the root.

do you think that evil events echo forward and backward through time. sometimes I worry/suspect that everything recently is the echo of a great man-made horror we cannot fully fathom.

I loved Mobility for both the very specific character moments and the big ideas about hyperobjects. And for that matter, I also loved @lydiakiesling.bsky.social's previous novel, Golden State, about the exquisite tedium of parenting.
I wasn't paying attention & forgot Mobility's birthday on 8/1. This book is 3 years old! It concludes with wildfire smoke in Portland &, would u believe, today there is wildfire smoke in Portland. Please buy it/read it so I can keep writing novels about people & feelings bookshop.org/p/books/mobi...
