Dear All,

In this <https://4sonline.org/news_manager.php?page=40127> Backchannels
post, Ola Michalec considers the collective excitement surrounding AI and
the ways in which the 'hype machine' mobilises resources, enrols new
actors, creates pressure to accelerate responses, clouds judgement,
conceals power dynamics or detracts from crucial infrastructural work.

Will the bubble burst? Thinking together about hype machines in the
contemporary technoscience.
