Every exponential in history has reorganized the system it entered—and the thing that becomes scarce is never what the curve predicted. This time, it's the capacity to know whether any of the abundant, coherent, AI-generated output is actually true.
Our newsletter includes our ideas, our research, and our reviews of the science as well as our picks from others. We send our newsletter once a week because we strive to slow the frantic pace of debates around AI, down-regulating the noise so you can see stories in context.
Our vision for AI follows in the legacy of the Macintosh—technology that is equally science and art, humanities and engineering, and, above all, designed 'for the rest of us.'
