How to be in a room together (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The other week I wrote about a powerful salve to our predicament - to simply be together IRL in a room, doing stuff and looking into each other’s eyes.You all went in to the comments and chimed in with forums that are active now and open to new participants. I pulled them all out in to a neat list for you today. Can I challenge you to commit to joining one? Or something similar?As I’ve said before, once you’re in a room with other humans it almost doesn’t matter what happens next. It’s the being

I’m going to start doing some shorter, snappier posts that respond to mad shit happening in the world. I won’t corner myself into having to have a hot take on the news of the day.

Why are they making AI if it will kill us? (AN EXPLAINER) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everyone1 is suddenly paying attention to the insane, zero-sum, race-to-the-bottom reality of AI. And the anti-human future it presents.We thought it was a fun play thing at first; it was dangled before us as such. Then we thought it could help us “get ahead” (presumably of our peers, our friends, our actual abilities and desires). We chose to ignore the ludicrously obvious risks and bought into the peak neoliberal and thoroughly sad promise that it would make us more productive cogs in the mach
