Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

“By contrast, the top 0.1 percent, including those with incomes over $4.3 million, would gain on average more than $389,000 ..”
