Strategy positions
Near-term harms firstmixed
Documented present harms outweigh speculative existential narrativesBrings a historian's perspective: argues each new wave of computing has been heralded as transformative, and that AI is similar, real and overstated at the same time.
I have covered every major computing inflection since the personal computer. Each one was heralded as world-changing; some were, some were not. The pattern with AI is closer to the former.
