"OpenAI’s AGI bait-and-switch wipes anything that does not count as economically valuable work from the definition of intelligence. That’s a massive erasure of our human capacity and a reduction of ourselves that we should resist." noemamag.com/the-danger-of-…

This recent piece by David Gunkel on the future of writing with LLMs and what happens to authorship has real implications for startups building on text input I won't spoil it, but it has me thinking differently about the purpose of written content noemamag.com/ai-signals-the…

“We tend to believe that because we’ve made something & know its parts, we understand its capabilities & limitations & what materials & algorithms can & cannot do. But we do not.” —Michael Levin noemamag.com/living-things-…

This is an excellent essay on AI & authorship by David J. Gunkel. I agree with his observation that AI models require us to reflect on what authorship means & has always meant, even if we weren’t able to see or admit it. But I differ on some small points. noemamag.com/ai-signals-the…

The tech oligarchs choosing “to throw their lot in with the MAGA movement is not because they have all shifted allegiance from the political left to the political right,” Dan Zimmer writes. Rather, they think Trump won’t stand in the way of their goals. noemamag.com/a-new-politica…

“One of the things that amazes me about some of the rhetoric on the right is that people will say we have no freedom in the U.S. anymore! ... These are people who have no idea what an actual dictatorship is like.” —Francis Fukuyama noemamag.com/to-make-govern…

"When a system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to lift the entire system to a higher order.” (llya Prigogine, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, 1977) What system will emerge from today's entropy? noemamag.com/the-coming-ent…

“Life is inherently computational. This may sound surprising, since we think of computers as decidedly not alive, & of living things as most definitely not computers. But it’s true: DNA is code.” — Blaise Agüera (@blaiseaguera.bsky.social) & James Manyika noemamag.com/ai-is-evolving…

"As the forests burn, the ice caps melt and new AI systems continue to eclipse human capacities, we enter a world increasingly caught somewhere between technological transcendence and ecological collapse." Excellent piece by Dan Zimmer for Noema Magazine. noemamag.com/a-new-politica…
