Tectonics of the semi-permanent: Reassembling fit-out architecture by Schnitzler, Jenna

“…The uneven wearing that Bolton wrote about in 1911, appears again in the iconic shearing layers diagram from Frank Duffy and Stewart Brand, who make a very similar economic argument, demonstrating that the economically fast-wearing interior layer accumulates the most investment over time, rebuilt on a cycle of every 5-10 years. We are facing a turning point in building; as of 2020, over 35% of total construction activity is renovation work, and we are making increasingly rapid changes to building function. …”

Artificial Intelligence and the US-China Balance of Power by Chang, Benjamin Angel

“…I find that control over the production of advanced AI chips by the United States and allies almost certainly means the United States would better exploit such weapons, if they emerged as decisive in modern warfare, within at least the next ten years. Potential Chinese policy responses, such as cannibalizing its civilian sector or substituting with older chips, would likely fail for technical reasons.…”
