AEWCH 298: A.I. ERROR_ / 11 CONSIDERATIONS ON HOW TO PROCESS A.I.
Thursday, 17 July, 2025
Friends,One reason I started this show eight years ago was to have big talk instead of small talk, to get us past surface conversations and into thinking more deeply. I hate small talk is because it’s so algorithmic or pre-programmed. It's limited by its connection to the past and expectations. I don’t want to have conversations that could be produced by just anyone in any context with predictable results.I wanted something more living, surprising, vitalizing; conversations that nourished pushing my thoughts and feelings and actions forward. So the mission of this show has always been, in a way, to address to algorithm.The conversations on AI in the public sphere have been so dead and dead-ended even when they’re well-meaning. My big problem is not that people aren't saying brilliant things about A.I. -- I'm not sure I'm up for that task either -- just that everyone is saying the same stupid things over and over. There are phony debates held with unearned urgency, wild projections based on investment fantasies, and anxieties produced by deliberate mystifying hype.On this episode, I go over 11 thoughts I have on AI to get to where we need to go for a better base level conversation. My hope is this clears out some debris and helps us to start thinking about in new directions.In other words, this is more about the discussion about AI than AI itself - . I don’t have a “side” on AI - but I want to talk beyond some of the most repeated pointsI hope this offers a fruitful new starting place.SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: patreon.com/connerhabib
