This Machine Rages Back: An Interview With Ewan Morrison

Ewan Morrison's For Emma is billed as a sci-fi thriller, but it’s just as much a work of deeply philosophical horror.

And to be slightly more eloquent, I can't recommend @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social's latest novel "For Emma" highly enough as a cautionary tale of where unregulated AI companies will lead us (if we haven't been led there already...)

We are driven by technological progress, but what is driving it? Is it an evolutionary force? Is it a force independent of us, that ultimately does not care for us? Can we resist tech progress? Do we have a choice? Your thoughts appreciated. A little video, turn on the volume please.

Friends concerned about AI - this is the article by the dead Open AI whistleblower Suchir Balaji - explaining why the scraping of media & data by AI does not constitute “fair use”. The entire industry is based on the lie of “fair use”. Save this: suchir.net/fair_use.html
