It's very fun seeing people getting excited about the potential new designs for the Euro banknotes. And change is good! But there's something you may not know about the current designs. You may be aware that the bits of architecture on the notes are meant to be imaginary, sort of generically European-looking. But there's a good story about the bridges. [1/4]

Today, I was expecting to write a &quot;Reading&quot; post on Langdon Winner&#39;s &quot;Do Artifacts Have Politics?&quot; Instead, thanks to two things in the last couple days that have made me very irritable, I seem to be writing a very irritable post about how &quot;AI&quot; discourse is sucking all the air out of the room (and the room is the world). Fun!
