Friday Harbor周五港
Friday Harbor is a column from the Humanistic GIS Laboratory, edited by Bo Zhao. The name takes two layers — first, the University of Washington's marine field station on San Juan Island, north of Seattle; second, and more to the point: the 1993 Friday Harbor meeting held there, the first sit-down between GIS scientists and critical social theorists, the moment that opened the social turn in geographic information science. This column continues that conversation.
「周五港」是人文主义GIS实验室的一个专栏，由赵博主编。名字承袭两层——一是华盛顿大学坐落于圣胡安岛上的同名海洋田野站；二，也更要紧：1993 年在那里召开的「周五港会议」，GIS 科学家与批判社会理论学者第一次正式坐到同一张桌前的对话，自此开启了地理信息科学的「社会转向」。这份札记，是那场对话的延续。

If AI Takes Over Mapping, What Is Left for Humans? 当AI接管制图，人类是否应该退场？
From mapping to GIS and GeoAI, many cartographic abilities are being taken up by technology. The more capable the tools become, the more clearly human judgment matters. 从制图到 GIS，再到 GeoAI，许多和制图直接相关的能力正在被各类新兴技术接管。技术越能干，人的判断越重要。

Hartshorne, Schaefer, and the Question GeoAI Cannot Escape Hartshorne、Schaefer 与 GeoAI 无法逃避的问题
The 1950s debate over regional synthesis and spatial law reorganized geography around explanation and training. In the AI era, GeoAI raises the same question again: how can models change geography without replacing geographic judgment? 1950 年代关于区域综合与空间法则的论战，曾围绕解释与训练方式重组地理学。到了 AI 时代，GeoAI 再次提出同一个问题：模型如何改变地理学，而不取代地理判断？

AI Capital Becomes Infrastructure AI 资本如何沉积为基础设施
The money appears to chase models, but it settles into chips, clouds, data centers, power systems, and sovereign industrial capacity. 资本看似追逐模型，最后却沉积为芯片、云、数据中心、电力系统和主权产业能力。

East Data, West Computing, and Descending Labor 东数、西算与下沉的劳动
China's AI geography links platform cities, western computing hubs, and the local labor systems that absorb annotation, moderation, testing, and training work. 中国 AI 的地理把平台城市、西部算力枢纽，以及承接标注、审核、测试和训练的地方劳动体系连接起来。

The Invisible Labor of AI AI 背后的隐形劳动
Automation arrives as a smooth answer, but behind it are data workers, moderators, evaluators, maintainers, and reorganized workplaces distributed unevenly across the world. 自动化以一个顺滑回答出现，但其背后是数据工人、内容审核员、模型评估者、维护者，以及被重新组织的工作场所。

The Redrawn House 被重画的众议院
Five states quietly redrew their congressional maps mid-decade — chasing roughly seven seats in a chamber decided by three. Texas, North Carolina, and California, side by side, before and after. 5 个州在中期悄然重画国会选区图——为抢约 7 个席位，而众议院的多数席差只有 3。把得州、北卡、加州的旧图与新图并排，看一眼这场对称的军备竞赛。

A Century of Anglo-American Human Geography 英美人文地理学的百年演变
Ron Johnston and James Sidaway's Geography and Geographers chronicled the field across seven editions; the streamgraph extends the frame to a century and threads in the world events that pulled each turn into being — from the Depression and WWII to '68, the oil shock, the Berlin Wall, 9/11, the 2008 crisis, and COVID. Ron Johnston 与 James Sidaway 的《Geography and Geographers》以七版编年记录了这门学科；河流图把视野拉到百年，并把每一次转向背后的时代脉搏串起来——大萧条、二战、六八、石油危机、柏林墙、9·11、金融危机、新冠。

Mackinder, Redrawn 麦金德，重画
In 1904 Halford Mackinder gave the world a map of pivots and crescents. A century later the locks of power aren't where he drew them. They're a dozen chokepoints — most of them on Spykman's coastal rim. A different geography. 1904 年，麦金德给世界画了一张枢纽与新月的图。一百二十年过去，权力的锁点不在他画的地方——而是一打咽喉点，多数落在 Spykman 的海岸弧上。一种不同的地理逻辑。

The Mirror Scarcity 镜像稀缺：电与卡
The US and China are both running out — but of different things. America has the chips and the money but not the electrons; China has the electrons and the policy but not the chips. Read the asymmetry on a single time axis. 美国与中国都在「不够用」——但不够的是不同的东西。美国有卡、有钱，缺的是电；中国有电、有政策，缺的是卡。把这种不对称放在同一根时间轴上看。

1.23 Million Eviction Filings 123 万次驱逐
Last year's eviction filings, mapped by the city. The geography is not the geography of housing-market pressure — it is the geography of law. 去年全美的驱逐起诉，按城市标在地图上。这片分布不是租房市场压力的地理，而是法律的地理。

Where the Cloud Touches Ground 云落在哪里
Every prompt typed into ChatGPT or Gemini takes a path through specific buildings on specific land. The cloud is geography. These are the dots. 你在 ChatGPT 或 Gemini 里敲下的每一句话，都要经过具体土地上的一栋具体建筑。「云」是一种地理事实。这些就是它落地的点。

Does the AI Really Know Your City? AI 真的懂你的城市吗？
Asked to draw Seattle's neighborhoods from its own internal model, GPT-5.5 Thinking returned polygons that mostly miss their real-world counterparts. Read the misses as a diagram — where a language model's geographic imagination thickens, and where it thins. 让 GPT-5.5 Thinking 凭它自己对城市的建模画出西雅图的邻里边界，它画出的多边形多数对不上真实邻里。把这些偏差当一张图看——一台语言模型的地理想象，在哪里厚、在哪里薄。
