Today, I wrote about and “Moore’s Law”:

…and “Moore’s Law”.

Any Asimov fans in the house?

Chatgpt and other generative ais graded.

This started me down this journey, some 20 years ago.

Interested in thinking about how AI and accelerating technological change is changing our way of life? I talk about stuff like that every day:

Join me to stand against the ever-shorter attention spans that modern social media encourages. Let’s think together.

Fun thought experiment today:

What if today’s ultra-wealthy— the Musks, Bezoses, and Zuckerbergs of the world— decided to demonstrate the true extent of what AI can do today? What if money were no object? Let’s think about some ambitious, albeit costly, applications of current AI technologies that are already within our grasp.

Personal Protection Army

In the realm of personal security, AI-driven technology offers a tantalizing glimpse into the future. Imagine a scenario where, instead of a cadre of bodyguards, a personal drone swarm follows you around, providing an unprecedented level of safety and protection.

Oh hey, AI enthusiasts and futurism fans! I’d love to share with you an article I recently wrote on my Substack. It takes you on a journey from the ancient Greek device known as the Antikythera mechanism, all the way to the generative AI explosion of 2023, tracing the history of computation and AI.

For more than a decade, I’ve been writing about technology, society, and the future, aiming to provide thoughtful analysis and critical thinking on the latest trends and their implications. I’ve been following these topics for over 15 years, and I am enthusiastic about initiating a meaningful conversation with you about the changing world and its intersection with technology.

Well, not that shocked.

I remember when Gmail launched predictive answers to emails as a quick way to respond to folks. This moment sparked my curiosity about where this kind of technology would lead us. In those first few moments after discovering this feature, I understood that language itself, and perhaps even human thought, were on the brink of a massive transformation.

This was even more evident with predictive text. The idea is that the prediction is accurate, or close enough, so eventually, people will just start using the same small set of responses, with the conversations becoming more homogeneous and less original. Original thought is endangered.
