There's much talk of AI-driven unemployment, not so much about AI-powered employment. Reflecting on a week in which I accomplished a lot more than I could have two years ago, I'm feeling conflicted. It's exhilarating to be empowered by tools that make me a more effective thinker and doer. It's also starting to feel exhausting. As with all forms of augmentation, we need to find balance. Just because we can exercise these new superpowers doesn't mean we always should.
@culturednyc thanks. Dan was really fun to hang out with. I always thought it was great when he showed up at my CS/security talks and people would whisper, "what is Dan Dennett doing here?" just before he said, "hi, Gary."
