Hi Wired and Sam Altman and the cool kids that read me, here's the latest news from the edge of things summarized by Sam chatbot here. It's the first part: The Ultimate Abstraction argues that we’re in a global crisis where tech, especially AI, has outpaced society's ability to steer it responsibly. The metaphor of a "sinking ship" emphasizes the urgency of leadership and collective action. The article proposes that it will take more than just a few visionaries to save us; it will take a unified group of 49+ people from across tech, governance, and research to shift the world’s trajectory. AI researchers: How can we balance rapid innovation with real-world impact? Are we in danger of innovating ourselves into a crisis, or can we use tech to solve the very problems we've created?
