The Cybernetic Turn: Generative AI as a Dynamical System of Meaning

Generative artificial intelligence is usually explained in the vocabulary of computer science: architectures, parameters, objectives, scale. That vocabulary describes the machine accurately but leaves its most consequential property unexplained: why a system directed by short, lo...

Computer Science Beyond the Instrumental Paradox

Computer science confronts a strange moment: the technology unsettling its foundations is its own creation. Generative AI—built from the discipline's theory, algorithms, architectures, and data—now produces the very artifact around which the discipline organized itself: executabl...
