The internet archive's Wayback Machine library is a planetary treasure. It preserves the archive of the web. Don't let publishers take it down. theatlantic.com/technology/2…

Why the Internet Needs a Memory

Publishers have every right to challenge businesses that exploit their work—but the Wayback Machine has become collateral damage.

What if AI becomes the environment? Located everywhere, and no where in particular? It is likely to be a swarm intelligence. Here is what that might mean: kevinkelly.substack.com/p/sw…

Gary finally wrote a book detailing what we have learned so far, and on Thursday, October 8, 5:30 PM at the Book Passage in the Ferry Building San Francisco, he and I will introduce his book and do a classic QS show and tell session.

Everyone freaking out about agentic "swarms" should read @kevin2kelly 's classic book "Out of Control." (and, for the more policy-minded, may I modestly recommend my own book, "Getting Out of Control," which the excerpts below are from.)

Replying to @emollick
This is a good list for troubleshooting human-designed complicated systems but it is a limited guide to understanding complex systems. I think we could learn a lot about AI agent interactions from Kevin Kelly's description of swarm systems in his excellent book "Out of Control":

Come visit our Burning Man art piece that we installed today. It's a mile-long line of solar powered LED strobes that create a streak of light moving at the speed of the Earth's rotation. You can feel your spin. At 11:00 and far fence.
