The hidden history of modern machine intelligence has more to do with medieval poetry and Russian folktales than the myths being told in Silicon Valley. A very different conversation about AI with Dennis Yi Tenen, author of Literary Theory for Robots. teamhuman.fm/episodes/265-d…

I wasn't really eager to relive the toxic ol' days of Y2K, but Alex Kazemi's raunchy, harrowing and heartbreaking debut novel New Millennium Boyz took me there. In fact, I am a background character. I wrote about it + talked to Alex for @thedailybeast thedailybeast.com/new-millennium…

It was so delightful to see you, @rushkoff!! If you haven’t read Survival of the Richest you are missing out - it is a gripping and fascinating socioeconomic analysis of our world today, and what we need to do to make sure we keep moving forward!
