Home A research initiative focused on understanding and instrumenting the relational and somatic dynamics of human–AI coupling to support safer interactions.

Most #AIsafety frameworks instrument the model. Measuring outputs, probing internals, shaping behaviour through RLHF and constitutional constraints.

What they don’t measure: what emerges between the model and the human.

I'm doing some research to help address this m3data.github.io/somatic-ai-s...

We Are Earthians A sonic remembering for all beings sharing this spaceship Earth. Born from morning rituals where earth meets sky,

Our commonalities on this planet need to become more powerful than what divides us in this time of increasing polarisation.

Dropped this track a while back as away to express this challenge.

Every retired federal resources minister since 2001 has gone on to work in fossil fuels Lobbying has become big business, with around 727 lobbyists registered in the national capital, more than three times the number of elected officials sitting in parliament.

We really need to change this. Politics shouldn’t just be a career path to lobbying

Reflections on Occupying Sydney 10 years on - m3data Reflections on the occupy movement ten years on, memes, social movements and persistent non violent civil disobedience.

Reflecting on this piece I wrote and wondering what new forms of playfully persistent non-violent civil disobedience are needed now?

What would sacred refusal look like today? And what would make it joyful, collective, globally synchronised and impossible to ignore?

🌑 Rest in End Times Wondering about the state and practice of rest in these end times.

🌑 This New Moon, @m3metix.bsky.social and I wonder about the state and practice of rest in these end times: tethix.substack.com/p/rest-in-en...

What does rest mean to you in these end times?

How might we stop role-playing as machines? Sceptical of the promises of AI salvation, we question our internalised industrial logic and explore how we might find our way back to human being and belonging.

Thank you, dear Earthian brother @m3metix.bsky.social, for another beautifully meandering, messy, and wonderfully human yarn 💜 We invite you to tune in if you're just as tired of role-playing as a machine as we are.

Australia, who ya gonna call? - The Shot An anxious time cries out for leadership, not platitudes.

Here's @marquelawyers.bsky.social. 'Australia, who ya gonna call?'

'The United States is no longer our guarantor of defence, security and peace. It is no longer reliably there. Unpredictable as Trump will remain, nobody can be confident that it will honour its treaties, stand by its allies...'

Dutton left ‘very serious’ cyclone area for Hemmes’ Sydney mansion The opposition leader said people wanted the prime minister “governing, not campaigning” as Queensland braced for the storm.

Dutton and his cronies are playing the same game. Emboldened to find their place in the old world order made anew.

What’s the role AI and digital tech could play in collective futurecrafting? We dare you to dream, to imagine ways of coming together, both online and onland, and ways of taking the future into our caring, loving hands.

If you need a break from existential dread, take a deep breath, shake off any anger or stress you might be feeling right now, and join @m3metix.bsky.social & I as we help each other co-regulate and explore collective futurecrafting.

You're not alone 💜

I know many of you feel it too. How can we play and learn together better?

Sooo, TikTok has gone dark in the alleged land of the free. While Facebook Page owners are being prompted to link their TikTok accounts. Will Zuck be allowed to ruin one more app for all of us? Or Musk?

How do our human bodies fit into an AI-enabled future? Exploring the tension between how Big Tech wants to shape our bodies with AI and what our bodies actually need, as current events force us to face the traumas and shadows of extractive colonialism.

Thank you, @m3metix.bsky.social for feeling all the feels with me in the first episode of #PathfindersPodcast in a year in which the lunacy of tech is already at 11. And for having this mind-bending yarn on how silicon bodies are shaping our human bodies & exploring some possible future horizons.

What happens when the internet disappears? Huge swaths of the web are vanishing. What does that do to our culture?

I'm at @theverge.com today talking about digital decay, link rot, watching my work slowly being erased from the internet, and how it makes me feel like I am fading away.

Super helpful activity Casey! You might find the taxonomy of mirrors interesting to play with tethix.co/air/designin...

AI emotional lock-in as the next big competitive advantage Is AI emotional lock-in the competitive advantage tech companies need to make switching not only costly but emotionally painful and harder to regulate?

What should we do with the time that new technologies save? What are we saving time for? Who and what are we borrowing the saved time from? What does this mean for the tech we build?

The learning is in the journey not the destination. Uncle Sam know this. But he gotta sell the hype and hubris.

With these tools we save time on some task, but for what ends? We explored this and more in a recent podcast that may be of interest open.substack.com/pub/tethix/p...

Another cycle of lunacy in tech.
