Coronavirus as Automation Accelerant
To coin an overused phrase: that escalated quickly. Ushering in the New Year/New Decade with my customary January 1 just-north-of-a-coma hangover seems like a page from someone else’s life, lived a long time ago. Now, reading a constant blitzkrieg of COVID-19 coverage and pondering the long-term, peripheral impacts to come, I continue to feel hung […]

Yonder, Mr. Altman describes a scenario in which humans have melty-melded with information technology. This entails pumping tech […]
Want This Rug? Hold Still While We Scan Your Brain.
