Slow Technology Reader. A Tool for Shaping Divergent Futures, Edited by Carolyn F. Strauss, Design by Haller Brun, Valiz, Amsterdam, 2025 [Perimeter Books, Thornbury, Melbourne]
taking much of the debate about ai (or really any emerging technology) over the past however long as basically ground zero for partisan ideology seepage into the realm of tech criticism. you got folks shouting about the free market & competition & innovation & opportunity but you also got like marxists out here literally coming to the defense of the AI machine god despite its obvious yandre tendencies… why must everything be so political

Impact and innovation of AI in energy use with James Chalmers
In the very first episode of our monhtly Explainable AI podcas, hosts Paul Anthony Claxton and Rohan Hall sat down with James Chalmers, Chief Revenue Officer of Novo Power, to discuss one of the most pressing issues in AI today: energy consumption and its environmental impact.
Together, they explored how AI’s rapid expansion is placing significant demands on global power infrastructures and what leaders in the tech industry are doing to address this.
The conversation covered various important topics, from the unique power demands of generative AI models to potential solutions like neuromorphic computing and waste heat recapture. If you’re interested in how AI shapes business and global energy policies, this episode is a must-listen.
Why this conversation matters for the future of AI
The rise of AI, especially generative models, isn’t just advancing technology; it’s consuming power at an unprecedented rate. Understanding these impacts is crucial for AI enthusiasts who want to see AI development continue sustainably and ethically.
As James explains, AI’s current reliance on massive datasets and intensive computational power has given it the fastest-growing energy footprint of any technology in history. For those working in AI, understanding how to manage these demands can be a significant asset in building future-forward solutions.
Main takeaways
AI’s power consumption problem: Generative AI models, which require vast amounts of energy for training and generation, consume ten times more power than traditional search engines.
Waste heat utilization: Nearly all power in data centers is lost as waste heat. Solutions like those at Novo Power are exploring how to recycle this energy.
Neuromorphic computing: This emerging technology, inspired by human neural networks, promises more energy-efficient AI processing.
Shift to responsible use: AI can help businesses address inefficiencies, but organizations need to integrate AI where it truly supports business goals rather than simply following trends.
Educational imperative: For AI to reach its potential without causing environmental strain, a broader understanding of its capabilities, impacts, and sustainable use is essential.

A Horror-Scope from the Division of Dark Megastrology
Threeperson: History repeats itself, ya dig? If its happened before its gonna happen again. Prepare for things that already happened.
Mermastronaut: Categories are broad things. Plant, animal, inorganic, archaeodeon, these are all just words that don’t mean anything. You live in between definition. Make it count.
Genuinely Unkind Unicorn: Four things. A party. A urinal. A jilted lover. A coroner.
Left Tit Best Tit: Some people will steal anything they can get their hands on. This can get uncomfortable if you let them anywhere important, such as the parlour, or the storeroom, or inside your pants.
Trashbeast: Do you really have a date with a woman this Thursday? Or do you really have a date with an apartment full of cats faking a personality?
Bundle of Grapes, but, like, the Grapes are Filled with Vinegar and Salt Instead: Just because your coworker was in a local restaurant commercial when she was eight she thinks she can hack it in Hollywood. As if. You remember her getting turned down for the role of guard #3 in the high school production of a student written play that you starred in.
Crumbs: The only thing better than one devotee is two devotees. Like this, child, we multiply. Like this, child, we spread.
Suck: You will run into your old babysitter this week. She will be disappointed with what you’ve become.
Detective That is Actually Four Wolves in a Trenchcoat: Some of these tech industry startup owning dweebs are getting a little close for comfort. Put thumbtacks in their keyboards to send a message.
Why?: Do not show them what you are. The mind is weak and frail and ill prepared for the real depth of all that can be seen but never known. Your mask is their barbed wire fence. Unsafe, but far less dangerous than what lies beyond.
Sensible Hat Wearing An Outrageous Hat: Be the baddest bitch in the room. Show up on a flaming skateboard. Crack a raw egg into your aged whiskey, and drink it in one gulp. Heck, light the whiskey on fire too. Just don’t let it cook the egg. Show everyone you are the cosmic source of big dick energy.
Stick Figure: If someone hits you its okay to stab them. I promise I wont tell.
Cup: Disease can be an unforgiving thing. Monte will have a particularly rough time with a virus this week. Not to blow things out of proportion but you should sleep on the couch when it starts getting bad; not out of fear of catching it yourself, but because you’re going to want a new mattress once he’s better. Some stains don’t come out, and some fluids aren’t worth trying to clean.

Introducing Cognitive Sensations.
Cognitive Sensations is a programme investigating the neurological effects of the digital age. Featuring talks, artworks and debates, the programme will uncover several concepts exploring the physiological and psychological changes occurring in humans, as a result of their engagement with digital technology.
Drawing on a range of neurological topics such as perception, memory and attention, Cognitive Sensations will take place between November 2018 - May 2019, and will be hosted by FACT in Liverpool and THECUBE in London, and curated by me, Gabriella Warren-Smith. Uncovered through the perspective of a curator, the programme will evolve through collaborations with artists, neuroscientists, psychologists and architects. The aim isn’t to establish a single perspective or theory, but to produce a body of research that will inform our knowledge from various positions in the great digital debate.
In neuroscience, the effects of digital technology is a contentious subject. Scientific research investigating mobile phones has only emerged over the past few decades, which means that our knowledge around their effects is in an extremely early period. Without the ability to provide hard evidence of the effects of smartphone use over a human lifespan, how can we scientifically declare their effects on human evolution and development? As a result, many of the scientists who are sharing their research and views on the effects of digital technology with a negative stance, are seen to be making sweeping comments with little scientific basis.
Perhaps most importantly we should be thinking about our youngest generation, who are most neurologically susceptible to their physical and cultural environment. These ‘Digital Natives’, or ‘Generation Z’, are born into a media rich environment, raised on an appetite of iPads and smartphones, where finger swiping dexterity matures quicker than language skills. What is the future of their neurological development, and what impact will it have on our future?
This blog will uncover some of the research that has led to the production of Cognitive Sensations, and act as a record of the programme yet to come. Various collaborators will be invited to make contributions, so stay connected for further discussions exploring the potential neurological outcomes of the digital age
