finished reading Against Reduction by Sasha Costanza-Chock

Some good essays in here, though I probably would have liked all of them better if I had read the collection in 2021 when it first came out. From the vantage point of 2025 a few of these essays come across as too naive about the people and pressures driving the current AI hype train. Maybe it's too reductive of me to expect each essay to include a "Here be Dragons" section, but there was plenty known and published already in 2021, and some of these essays do a very good job outlining those dangers (Sasha Costanza-Chock's "Design Justice, AI, and Escape from the Matrix of Domination" is a good example).
