Dear AI, What Is the Comfortable Belief That Keeps Holding Me Back? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You believe some things because, based on the most accurate human understanding, they are true. Gravity. The Earth revolving around the Sun. All that stuff.You believe other things because nobody knows the exact answer, so why not just adopt whatever version sits most pleasantly in your head? This is why I don’t like politics. Nobody changes their mind based on facts or consequences. They just believe whatever it is they most want to believe.A bit cynical, I know. Tell me I’m wrong. I don’t thin
Dear AI, Are You Going to Take All the Human Jobs? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI takes all the jobs. Humans sit at home, consume media, and order DoorDash as often as their meager Universal Basic Income permits. Sound good?Most of us don’t want that.And, thus, we quickly arrive at The Moral Argument for Human Jobs: If AI results in large-scale loss of human jobs, that is unfair and/or wrong and/or bad for society.I’m not going to discuss that argument today. It matters, but it tends to monopolize the conversation, which is unfortunate, because we should also be talking ab
AI vs. Loneliness (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Humans in our modern world are incredibly lonely. Maybe AI companions can help.THAT’S A HORRIBLE IDEA. IT CHEAPENS HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS. IT DEHUMANIZES OUR WORLD. AND IT’S JUST…WEIRD.So goes the discourse.I’m not going to argue into it. I’d rather just point out that “loneliness” and “companionship” can mean many different things. The topic is nuanced and complicated, and I’m inviting you to interact with it in a way that honors that.The words in the grey box below are written for AI, and also fo
AI = Words Are Magic Now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI can be incredibly useful, and I often write about that. Useful is…useful. But I want more.I want you to feel like you are 12 years old, and arriving at Disney World for the very first time. Not every time you talk to Claude. But at least once per month. An AI wowgasm. When was the last time you had one?The world is different now. You can build things just by saying words. In another age, they would have called that magic.I’m inviting you to have three simple conversations with your AI today.
Dear AI, Who Is the Greatest Person of All Time That Was Mentally Wired Just Like Me? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It feels useful to read biographies. Each of us only gets a single life. Surely, it’s helpful to learn from the strategies and the mistakes of other people. But…Most of those other people are nothing like you.They had different talents, different weaknesses, different demons. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t read about them and learn their secrets. It just means those secrets probably aren’t going to play in your world.So, who is the greatest person of all time that was also mentally wired just l
