The very rich already suffer from sycophancy, from living in echo chambers, and it untethers them from reality – including often the reality of their own mediocrity, and this seems truer of the oligarchs of Silicon Valley than almost anyone.
What technology takes from us – and how to take it back | AI (artificial intelligence) | The GuardianThis ends up meaning that we can minimise our presence in the world and maximise time spent working and online, which also means maximising alienation and isolation. This has involved a reordering of society right down to our retail landscapes.
What technology takes from us – and how to take it back | AI (artificial intelligence) | The GuardianI think AI is going to change your life for the better in ways you don’t expect, but it’s not going to change the lives of AI CEOs in the ways that they hope. Things will get a little easier for you, and they are about to get a lot poorer.
The AI Bubble is Bursting - Hugh HoweyWe shouldn't. Our attention and energy are too scarce for it.
Unscale the internetWe've been taught to see scale as the whole point of being online — a delusional VC logic we've accepted as the cost of participation.
Unscale the internetThe body knows how to take care of itself. Athletes train specifically so that thinking drops away and they can dynamically move and respond from somewhere beyond thought. Surfers are deeply in touch with this, attuning to the water and wind and swell until the self disappears and flow takes over.
You're probably addicted to thinking - by Alex OlshonskyThe nervous system learned that if you can think your way through something, you don’t have to feel it. Thinking became your protector. At the time, it was a smart strategy.
You're probably addicted to thinking - by Alex Olshonskythought moved to the background and direct experience moved to the foreground.
You're probably addicted to thinking - by Alex OlshonskyThe claim that “humans” need control pretends that we are all one homogeneous mass but there are differences in power and access. Every monstrosity humanity did was under human control. Human control feels great because everyone reading it thinks it means them. It does not.
Nothing to DeclareThe “take the fall for the decisions an automated machine made” trick.
Nothing to DeclareI don’t care how well their ‘AI’ works – or if you found a fancy fun use-case. It fucks me up watching peers treat this tech from people who want to eradicate me as a future worth considering. I don’t want any of this.

Claude magicMy effort only seems to count if it produces visible progress.
Effort Without Improvement - Kristie De GarisLooking ahead, I expect these types of errant conjurations will come under more scrutiny when the free money subsidies run out and consumers inherit the full cost of the models’ mistakes.
Magic Words - daverupert.comThis is a reverse centaur, and it is a specific kind of reverse centaur: it is what Dan Davies calls an “accountability sink”. The radiologist’s job is not really to oversee the AI’s work, it is to take the blame for the AI’s mistakes.
AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage | AI (artificial intelligence) | The GuardianThen there are science-fiction fans who believe that they are reading the future. A depressing number of those people appear to have become AI bros. These guys can’t shut up about the day that their spicy autocomplete machine will wake up and turn us all into paperclips, which has led many confused journalists and conference organizers to try to get me to comment on the future of AI.

The Discourse is a Distributed Denial-of-Service Attackwhat would be lost when nothing felt special anymore, when everything was just a copy of a copy with no original left to anchor it.
The Discourse is a Distributed Denial-of-Service AttackOrwell feared those who would ban books. Huxley feared that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. But the discourse suggests a third possibility: a world with infinite books, infinite takes, infinite content of every kind, delivered at such volume and velocity that reading any of it becomes impossible.
The Discourse is a Distributed Denial-of-Service AttackTo engage with the discourse, an expert has to compress their nuanced understanding into takes that can compete with the confident nonsense being spouted by random accounts with anime avatars.
The Discourse is a Distributed Denial-of-Service AttackThe evolutionary pressure favors whichever species is better at acquiring the contested resource.
The Discourse is a Distributed Denial-of-Service AttackThe underlying cause is something deeper and it's about how humans interact when controversy becomes abundant and attention becomes scarce.
The Discourse is a Distributed Denial-of-Service AttackThe Socratic method works by forcing people to confront the gaps in their own reasoning, to follow their beliefs to their logical conclusions and notice when those conclusions are absurd or contradictory. It's slow and frustrating, usually ending with everyone realizing they understand less than they thought they did.
The Discourse is a Distributed Denial-of-Service AttackUnderstanding involves admitting what you don't know, while the discourse punishes uncertainty as weakness.
The Discourse is a Distributed Denial-of-Service AttackThe discourse is great at generating positions. It's terrible at generating understanding.
The Discourse is a Distributed Denial-of-Service Attackbecause by the time you've finished a thought that begins with "Well, it's complicated..." someone else has already posted a much simpler take that makes people feel validated, and the algorithm has moved on.
The Discourse is a Distributed Denial-of-Service AttackCrucially, the attack doesn't need to compromise the server's judgment or trick it into making bad decisions. It just needs to make sure the server never has time to make good ones.
The Discourse is a Distributed Denial-of-Service AttackYour attention is a finite resource being strip-mined by an infinite army of takes.
The Discourse is a Distributed Denial-of-Service AttackNot even the failures, the dead ends and the wrong turns. Eventually, it will all weave together into a rich tapestry of skills, knowledge, people, places – all the things that make you uniquely you.
How to find your direction, in work and life - The Creative LifeBut on a smaller (a bit short-sighted) level CEOs are looking towards “AI” not so much as actual replacement for labor but as the leverage to push down cost in the long term by crushing labor power.
Winning the wrong game“I think we should shed the idea that AI is a technological artifact with political features and recognize it as a political artifact through and through. AI is an ideological project to shift authority and autonomy away from individuals, towards centralized structures of power.”
Winning the wrong game“workslop” (meaning the extra work created for the rest of the organization by one person using “AI” lowering their work quality)
Winning the wrong game“AI” (which these days basically means chatbots)
Winning the wrong gameLow agency is being “too busy” to reach out to your childhood friend, and getting the phone call that they’ve suddenly passed away.
