TLDR: I’m launching a new show about the future. This is a 2m teaser for it.
We are living in a strange moment.
AI is everything, everywhere, all at once. Democracy is very much on the ropes. We are all confused about what comes next.
Upstream of our troubles are a handful of algorithms that are legible to us for now — tools built by social media companies that have fundamentally changed our daily lives. But the newest systems in development will be far more influential, more intimate, and more powerful than social media. How might we safely navigate this transition?
Over the coming months I’ll be releasing conversations with some of the smartest people I know unpacking these issues, and sharing my essays in video form on my YouTube channel here. Guests like: Jonathan Haidt, Tim Urban, Esther Perel, among others. There will be audio versions, but the videos will be produced with extra sauce.
We’re on the threshold of a very strange transfer of power — from human brains to artificial ones — that will very likely determine the quality of the rest of our lives. This is a show dedicated to uncovering what comes next.
I’d love for you to join me.
