robertogrecoRay Kurzweil was prescient about many things, and one of them is this: the merger has started. He predicted the outer layers of our neocortex would be wired to the cloud by the 2030s, extending human thought the way the last round of neocortical expansion produced us. But think carefully about what consumer technology alone already does. (And that’s just CONSUMER technology.) We have built ourselves a second nervous system.
“We have built ourselves a second nervous system”! This is the kind of sentence that sounds like revelation and means, on inspection, that you can look things up very quickly on your phone. We have indeed built ourselves a very fast library. That library has caused a lot of unhappiness, but certainly it’s a remarkable technological achievement. That achievement did not, however, eliminate tuberculosis.
And while we’re talking about Kurzweil and nervous systems, we should take time to point out his fundamental misapprehension of that system. Kurzweil has always had one goal, above all others: to avoid death. As a means to achieve this ambitious project, he has repeatedly invoked the desire to “upload” his consciousness to a computer. But this is folly: there is no consciousness that is distinct from the brain that houses it. Consciousness is brain, is tissue, is cells, is wetware. There is no discrete program that is the self that can be extracted from the brain and deposited into a conveniently durable chassis. To imagine a consciousness that can be housed on a floppy disc is to participate in a dualist fantasy of the kind that should have died out hundreds of years ago. Kurzweil has had this pointed out to him many times, but his desire to live forever apparently overwhelms his more rational faculties. The fantasy wins.
Dee dismisses “techno-pessimists” as people trying to stop something that has already happened. (Jasmine Sun goes with “AI populists,” a term I find a little inscrutable.) Perhaps I am a techno-pessimist, but if so, it’s only because I’ve been alive for most of the dispiriting past 50 years. “We were promised flying cars,” goes the cliche. But flying cars are at least possible; it’s just that they’re hideously inefficient and offer no advantage over our current boring-but-effective combination of cars and airplanes. We also were told to dream of time travel and faster-than-light travel, both of which are forever forbidden by elementary physics, and of colonizing distant worlds, which is forever forbidden by more factors than I can list. As Kim Stanley Robinson and others have pointed out, that last bit is essential, because if we recognize that we only have one world to live in, we might become better stewards of it. And that’s why I’m a techno-pessimist in general. Though I’m frequently accused of hoeing this particular row because I like disillusioning other people, I am instead trying to make this reality clear: we cannot sit back and wait for technological progress to save us. The only solutions to our problems - the problems of hunger, of poverty, of injustice, of disillusionment, of alienation - are political solutions. I understand feeling totally defeated by that idea, given what politics is like on this planet. But it’s all we have. We start to build the political structures that can enable humanity to take care of all of us or we drown. There is no fate but what we make.
Whatever you think of my motives, I will not stop pointing out that we are still here, still in this boring muck, still circling the parking lot at Target looking for a space. And until and unless the usual suspects can produce actual evidence of something happening right now, the skeptic’s work is not over. They promise AI will cure all disease; AI has not cured a single disease. Ezra Klein routinely throws around 20% economic growth as a baseline for the AI age; these few years with LLMs have produced the same anemic ~2% growth as we’ve been used to in this, the digital century. And I still say, wake me up when that changes. My techno-pessimism is a pessimism grounded in a fact derived from the historical record: that civilizational-scale technological transformation is extraordinarily rare, that it happened once in a rapidly-receding extraordinary century, and that we have been living in its long shadow ever since. And now some mistake that shadow for the sun."]]>freddiedeboer ai aislop artificialintelligence llms chatgpt openai cluade anthropic 2026 howwewrite generativeai genai slop photography images code coding music technology scarcity abundance videogames applications video film writing imagery 2022 internet web online energy housing cnacer medicine masstransit transportation society civilization siliconvalley socialmedia raykurzweil consciousness singularitarianism singularity jasminesun aipopulists technooptionism technopessimism kimstanleyrobinson humanity ezraklein economy economics growth katherinedee history health healthcare aibubble aihype lifeexpectancy us aviation progress labor work gdp maintenance innovation culture samaltman darioamodei maryharrington industrialrevolution communicationhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:ba413984e58c/Ten years of "Alaska": Maggie Rogers on going viral and singing for 200,000 protestors - YouTube2026-04-18T04:31:04+00:00

https://joshbrake.substack.com/p/an-e-bike-for-the-mind
robertogrecoAny invention or technology is an extension or self-amputation of our physical bodies, and such extension also demands new ratios or new equilibriums among the other organs and extensions of the body.
He goes on to quote the 113th Psalm to argue that by using technologies, we are both formed by them and conformed to them.
Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.
They have mouths, but they speak not;
Eyes they have, but they see not;
They have ears, but they hear not;
Noses have they, but they smell not;
They have hands, but they handle not;
Feet have they, but they walk not;
Neither speak they through their throat.
They that make them shall be like unto them;
Yea, every one that trusteth in them.
"They that make them shall be like unto them." Indeed.
This is the question we had better be asking much more regularly, publicly, and with each other: to what image is our technology conforming us? In recent years, there has been much conversation about the conforming power of algorithmically-powered social media and internet-connected devices that are practically attached to our hands. In so many ways, we accepted them into our lives with a false promise of augmentation without amputation. Only in retrospect are we noticing what’s been cut off.
In the midst of it all, there is hope. We can work to reclaim those things we have lost. Perhaps amputation is the wrong metaphor, and it is more a desensitization from infrequent attention and use. But if we thought that the societal impact of smartphones and social media was significant, just wait till we see the downstream amputations on offer with the promises of artificial intelligence.
As we consider the potential augmentations of AI, we need to hold them in tension with the concurrent amputations. E-bikes and their tradeoffs can offer us some wisdom.
Today, I’d like to riff on three e-bike-inspired perspectives I’m using to think about my technology use.
1. What: What is being augmented and amputated?
2. How: How does the augmentation interact with our effort?
3. Why: What are the values and stories motivating our choices?"
...
"At the end of the day, we must remember that innovation is a bargain. We often consider what technology promises to enable for us, without considering what it will almost certainly disable.
Most of the time, we fail to stop and consider the tradeoffs. Perhaps e-bikes may give us a metaphor to frame our thinking."]]>ebikes bikes biking joshbrake ai artificialintelligence marshallmcluhan technology smartphones socialemedia augmentation friction innovation change tardeoffs stevejobshttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:f4f28ddc49e1/Don’t be Fooled—the AI Bubble is the Strategy2025-09-03T03:42:26+00:00

robertogrecoBut these days, it’s much more likely that protagonists also have to overcome societal forces — political movements, systemic inequality, rampant capitalism. These are basically things that seem too big to fix.
It’s also far more likely that the narrative explores inner conflicts — moral dilemmas, identity crises, and wrestling with our understanding of what it means to be human. We don’t just face outside threats; we also face threats within ourselves.
Ultimately, today’s sci-fi stories are far more likely to be a commentary on current social issues. These might be critiques of political ideologies, runaway capitalism, irresponsible innovation, human apathy, or eroding mental health.]]]>scifi sciencefiction history 2024 visualessays alvinchang 1950s capitalism inequality politics politicalmovements innovation socialissues society apathy mentalhealth humanconditionhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:f3b55fc5f71a/Added by @havenwatchco Instagram post I'm teaching WINNERS TAKE ALL by @anandwrites which, if you haven't read it, do, fast, but he says something in an interview (with @camanpour) along the lines of "innovation doesn't necessarily mean progress." . .
