Can you train yourself to have a more interesting mind with AI around? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I love people whose minds build multiple roads through things.You could talk to them about a specific movie and suddenly, a book is brought up in the conversation. Or, at a seemingly ordinary dinner, you debate something boring that happened at work, and fifteen minutes later, that something is connected to a historical fact nobody expected.The connection sparks something in that little brain of yours. I love that!So, of course I’m interested (and fascinated) by what happens when AI starts makin
The internet is developing an accent (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes we’re four paragraphs into something before we’ve made up the person behind it in our minds, much like when we build our ideal image of a character from a book.Let’s call them “Person Y.” We never really see their face, but we notice all their quirks - we know what kind of company we’re in.

A man shaves his moustache; meanwhile, his wife and friends are adamant that he never had one. That he’s going mad, that he should see a shrink.The man knows his wife likes to joke around, make fun of him, and keep him fooled for days on end.Except, the joke doesn’t end. Ever.I read Emmanuel Carrère’s La Moustache while following him and breathing down his neck at every turn: as he travelled to try to escape the horror, doubted himself, lied, and schemed. I was in that room; I was there when he
Apparently, AI would really like to name this thing (opens the original)

When ROBOTS ATE MY HOMEWORK was born, I went to AI with it and asked:“Hey, here are some of the ideas I have. Here’s what I do. Do you think this would work as a newsletter?”It came back with:Yep, an AI newsletter!And once AI decided I belonged to the “AI newsletter” category, it started helping me build one.Meanwhile, I had 542 suitcases carrying narratives full of detectives, dead historians, visual systems, castles, an old philosophy book, and AI behaviors.Half my brainstorming time was then
