“Hype is eating the future, and leaving us the bones.” Sun-ha Hong of UNC-Chapel Hill says the Silicon Valley hype machine systematically “borrows credibility from the future to purchase legitimacy in the present.” The cost, he argues, is a planetary-scale drain on our alternatives.

Tech Hype is Cannibalizing the Future
Every day, we are told that we live in the future—but hype is eating the future and leaving us the bones," writes Sun-ha Hong.

if you don’t keep up with the youth i want you to know they’ve renamed “tramp stamps” to “cake toppers” which feels like the first advancement for feminism in a long time

Small fracture on left clavicle and one rib. Impossible to fix with without rest, and inactivity means more sarcopenia (muscle loss). It’s a slow spiral.

Just back from a long weekend and woke to news that Mom fell late last night. She seems fine, but we are in the ER getting all of the things checked. We are the least critical emergency here, so lots of waiting, waiting, waiting. Two falls in three months means an assisted living move very soon.

I teach an early Vinyasa class every Wednesday, and usually students sit or lie down while waiting for class to start. Today was the first time everyone was standing at the front of their mats, ready. Maybe it’s the Cornell news, or just … everything going on right now. People are wound UP.

The past couple years have helped me understand the compulsion to download and store things, to buy hard copies, to organize things for our own reference. Archives are rarely profitable. Credibility has been deprecated in favor of speed. We only value trusted sources when we don’t have them.

🔇 🔇 🔇 My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders! I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣 ✴️ You can now preorder it at www.simonandschuster.com/books/Deep-U....
Cover of my new book, Deep Unlearning: The Rise of AI and The Radicalization of a Tech Idealist. 

There are two concentric circles in the book, the left being circuits in black an white, and the right being a bunch of dots with orange accents. The cover background is cream. And the words are written in black except for "Un" which is in orange.
