"...when a million languages and cultures are pureed into glop, when an ancient social compact – whatever its limitations and flaws – is smashed beyond recognition, are we setting ourselves up for mass psychosis?"

I commissioned this new feature for @backmarket by @liam_writing on how creating original radio shows & then burning them onto CD has helped with his mother's Alzheimer's disease.
This is about the power of tech when it comes to sparking memories. Read: backmarket.com/en-us/c/tech-…
Wrote about Folk Valley... sorry!

Ever spoken to an AI chatbot like it's a real person? Don't worry... we've been doing that since ELIZA, the very first chatbot was created.
I spoke to Jeff Shrager about Joseph Weizenbaum's creation and what it can tell us about Claude and ChatGPT...

Wrote about the TikTok Farlands (after reading @thomasgermain's great piece) and how they show the heaviest content in the trench of social media, somewhere deep and altogether different from where our algorithms suspend us most of the time...

What would you bet that aliens exist? Would you put a fiver on Epstein being alive?
These are questions winning – and losing – people money on Polymarket and Kalshi.

Seen a video that felt engineered to make you angry?
It might have been. AI is being used to spread countless rage bait videos across the internet, fuelling anger, fooling journalists and changing political discourse as it goes.
My piece on it here:

My favoured articles are space articles that are called ‘THE SUN IS WAKING UP AND WE DON’T KNOW WHY’ or ‘ANGEL-LIKE SHAPE PICTURED IN THE DEPTHS OF OUTER SPACE’
Neither sleep nor death will sever your connection. But it wasn't always this way...
I spoke to the pioneers of dial-up connection, as well as @lui_gough and @MsShade about nostalgia for a slower time. And @glovink about how it could all come to an end

New commentary! Thought provoking piece from @liam_writing for @Independent with latest insights from @SandraWachter5 @OxGovTech @oiioxford @oxsocsci @UniofOxford on the ethics of AI.
They made Will Smith eat spaghetti. So, what can AI make you do?
The world of ‘personal misinformation’ is growing, fuelled by bad actors, but also by your own content habits.

They made Will Smith eat spaghetti. So, in the hands of malicious actors, what can AI make you do?
The world of deepfakes and voice cloning is only getting larger. But, possibly the most damaging AI is the type we inflict upon ourselves.
