I've been enjoying @beccacaddy's The Future Hunter newsletter, & this week's is particularly excellent.
"You might refuse the blue pill. Me too. But would either of us notice if it was slipped into our lives one tiny convenience at a time?"

What happens when Al gets cute? We've been anthropomorphising tech for as long as we've been making it. But now that question feels much, much more urgent.
Read (or listen to me read!) my full Substack essay about this at thefuturehunter.com
Today's Substack essay is an important one to me. It's about the advantages of being "left behind" by Al and what we might be able to see more clearly when we stop trying so hard to keep up with the hype.
Read it (or listen to me read it to you) here: thefuturehunter.substack.com…

.@BeccaCaddy gets it completely right: 8K Blu-ray would be a solution in search of a problem that doesn't exist. Backed up by Victor Matsuda, who represented Sony in the BDA.

I was talking to someone recently who had no idea that Al is deliberately designed to seem human-like. So this week's essay on The Future Hunter is a primer on anthropomorphic design choices and why anyone who uses Al should know about them: thefuturehunter.substack.com…
