My inaugural article in @thewalrus on what the research is telling us about the effects of Generative AI on adult cognition. A fun piece to research – but an even more amusing one to write. layered.news/walrus

I’ve observed a change with the latest version of X on IoS when I forward a tweet on the native mail client. The original behavior included a text preview of the tweet while the new behavior is to only include the link. Screenshots below. Confirmed on multiple devices.

It’s been 3411 days – more than 9 years – between these two pieces I had featured on @RCScience. From anticipation to reckoning in under a decade. Links to both articles below: layered.news/wwgy layered.news/alphago

Eight months ago, on the way to soccer practice, my six-year-old asked, “Dad, where does ChatGPT live?” and unknowingly stirred his father’s creative impulses. The resulting piece can be found below. layered.news/wwgy

An excerpt from the Jan 1991 issue of @PCMag, highlighting their technical awards for 1990. The prose below makes for quaint reading 34 years later. Feels apropos to share this on the first day of 2025; we’re at the precipice….
