John Battelle's Search Blog
Thanks in large part to society’s rapturous embrace of AI, technology has absorbed the finance industry, adopting its amorality and its rapacious appetite for risk.
But today’s AI industry?
At its core, it’s the same bargain we already have with the tech industry.
We are literally flooding the AI industry with our deepest fears, hopes, wants and dreams.
No need to ask for permission – it’s already been granted by the platforms that built the tech industry.
