Who are the experts / journalists / researchers you turn to for critical perspectives on AI & the tech world? I created a feed of experts who watch AI developments with a skeptical & critical (but *informed*) POV. I'd love more people to follow it, but I'm also looking to add people - recs welcome!

One thing I’ve learned from listening to quite a few @fallofcivilizations.com podcast episodes is that an empire will have a good thing going for literally centuries until one a random first born son fucks it all up for everyone.
Every time I see JV DJT’s name I think of Tom Paine’s explanation for why hereditary rule is such a stupid idea, because so frequently nature gives us “an ass for a lion.” bsky.app/profile/seth...
"An ass for a lion" (in all caps) is probably one of the best lines in the American political canon.

The thing about being neurodivergent is that I Like It. What I don’t like is that the world imposes numerous taxes on me for being like this.
I don’t view it as a Me problem.

As a fiction copyeditor, I endorse this take. In The Chicago Guide to Copyediting Fiction, Amy J. Schneider repeatedly reminds the would-be editor that "sometimes people just talk like that."
Unpopular #writer opinion: being "grammatically incorrect" can be a good thing, when you're actually just using non-standard dialects. I like to write how the character might think, and yes, they probably split infinitives and say "gonna". #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

I edited for this! It's a super interesting little game about combating demonic forces (or trying to, anyway) while dodging government agents. It's steeped in a rich presentation of late-Soviet Eastern European existence. Well worth a look!

Pay an editor. Pay a proofreader. Things genuinely would be going better if we didn't base entire political and economic plans on avoiding paying humans to do good stuff that they are good at! We pointed this out when the NYT fired all their copy editors. Look how that went.
Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment?
It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.
