A little shot of hope and optimism today from the United Nations. I got to speak about AI at their annual Internet Governance Forum (my first time at a UN thing 🤩) and it really does feel good to see so many people from so many places around the world convening in good faith to figure out how we can all work together to help the future go well.

Debates over AI would be more productive if we could stop over-simplifying. AI is not all bad, and it’s not all good. Just because someone’s excited about the tech doesn’t make them complicit with the Oligarchy. And just because someone’s advocating for responsible guardrails doesn’t make them a Communist.

I wrote a new post about this, and the overly-simplistic Silicon Valley trend known as Effective Accelerationism… Link in my bio.

Sure, let’s accelerate building AI, but can we also steer? 

Whenever anyone mentions guardrails for AI, someone else objects, “No, we have to go fast!” But just because we’re going fast doesn’t mean we’re going the right way. 

I wrote a new journal entry about it… full video at my link in bio.

At its core, punk rock has really always been about a bunch of underdogs banding together and firing each other up against complacency. That’s what needs to happen now.

It’s easy to let our time bleed out into scrolling distraction, always onto the next thing and the next. But it leaves life feeling vapid.

I think there’s a worthwhile analogy between taking a dramatic pause in a scene of dialogue, and taking a moment of time in our lives to “do nothing.” It’s the value of silence. Stillness. Negative space.

When I first saw the email offering me a part on The Simpsons, I yelped and laughed at the same time. But then I think I gasped when I saw the role they were offering me.

Finding the voice for such an iconic character was daunting. I was definitely worried I’d piss a bunch of people off. Maybe I have.

Big Tech’s newest products would be worth $0 without everyone’s data, but they don’t want to pay for it.

As long as an AI company can copy all of our content into their model at no cost and spit out quasi-new content for close to no cost, there’s no logical business case for paying creators anymore. But let’s be crystal clear—this is about so much more than content creators.
