Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

This is a good documentary about prosperity without growth, including debates around degrowth and green growth. I would’ve left out the sufficiency “experiment” with the family for many reasons. Otherwise, it’s a good overview of a central issue of our times.

This is such a great, speculative, hyper-quotable, essay by

conceptualizing Modern AI as a kind of discovery, a camera that allows to peer into “computational reality” (or, perhaps, I’d say, computational possibility?).

This is the best critique I’ve read so far of Andreessen’s techno-optimist manifesto. It nails something I’ve thought about since I read the original e/acc pieces that inspired Andreessen, which is that… 1/5

Significant paper. Having said that, I wish those efficiency and quality gains would be leveraged to advance a semi-automated/augmented, cyborgian-centaurian four-day workweek instead of the workload rebound effect to which they will probably be deployed.
