People worry about AI controlling their lives, but if you think of the Technosphere as an already existing artificial intelligence, it already controls our lives: we can’t survive when the grid breaks down.

As Paul Edwards and Gabrielle Hecht argue, infrastructures enroll us: we maintain the grid because we depend on the grid, creating powerful lock-in effects. Failure triggers restoration protocols (human and automated), which is why “return to normal” often outruns “rethink normal.” The question isn't whether the technosphere exists, but whether we can develop the governance structures to manage something this vast and path-dependent. The technosphere has evolved faster than our ability

Peter Haff's concept of the technosphere is a useful shorthand to say that we're not just living in nature—we're living in a hybrid system where the technological and the biological have become inseparable. The technosphere is an assemblage of machines and infrastructure, the entire globally coupled system of human activity and technology that now processes immense flows of energy and materials.

hello this is some regular text! f

this is some text after it. I want to see how it looks in context but I'm gonna need to write a lot to make it seem like I'm smart and know what I'm talking about here.

this is if the thing I am writing is very short actually. I think it looks fine in either case but it does bother be how much it jumps.

hello this is a code block

const Component = () => {
return (<div>hello</div>)}
//comment!

And it looks nice!...hopefully
