The idea of humans being replaced by AI was kind of overblown Realistically software engineers are going to replaced by a version of the nodding bird in the Simpsons (add it to their list of future predictions)

Working on 'human flourishing' research in AI feels like planting a garden in a server farm Everyone tells me there will be flowers but all I smell is hot metal

A healthy relationship is probably the best antidote to needing strangers on the internet to tell you you’re interesting

Interesting how foundational literature around memory frames it as a process that resides within an individual. Yet living systems have stored memory across networks for generations. Information tech means that our memories are increasingly externalised. Then think about AI.
