        Subject: mining energy, mining knowledge

Those here concerned about and with the cost and other consequences of
our technology's bleeding edge will be interested in a new article by
David Krakauer (Santa Fe Institute), "The Fossil Logic of the Industrial
and AI Revolutions: How Civilization Learned to Mine Energy and Now
Knowledge", published last month in Blue Continuum: From Deep Ocean to
Deep Space. See
