The Machine in Us: Thoughts on AI

<p>What you are about to listen to is a short essay I posted on <a href="https://1dimereview.substack.com/p/the-machine-in-us?r=2sschq" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Substack</a> a while ago that was originally a speech that I presented at my friend Greg Guevara’s (the YouTuber known as <a href="https://open.substack.com/users/65128963-jreg?utm_source=mentions" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Jreg</a>) “<strong>Anti-Clanker</strong>” rally back in September. It was an event about critiques of AI, featuring other guest speakers such as YouTube creators <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Gokanaru" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Gokanaru</a>, <a href="https://open.substack.com/users/350768420-art-chad?utm_source=mentions" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Art Chad</a>, <a href="https://open.substack.com/users/152859294-duncan-clarke?utm_source=mentions" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Duncan Clarke</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@WereInHell" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Were in Hell</a>, and <a href="https://open.substack.com/users/106052116-cricket-guest?utm_source=mentions" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Cricket Guest</a>. I didn’t publish my speech because I had not launched my Substack yet, but I figured I might as well put this article out now before someone else writes something that says more or less the same thing (maybe someone already has, but alas). Enjoy!</p><p><br /></p>
