AI’s Walking Dog – Boston Review:
In an era when “cultivated” people purport to care so much about the origins of the stuff they put into their mouths, will they be as cautious with the stuff they put into their minds? Will they be able to resist the information sausage meat that AI is about to serve them?
I used the Eleven app to hear AI read this article in the voice of Burt Reynolds. It was a very enjoyable way to hear the article while I was walking. That doesn’t take anything away from what Eno writes. I agree with him. Neal Stephenson famously said that it will take humanity fifty years to figure out the internet… how long will it take us to get over, and integrate LLMs or, if it ever happens, actual AGI? What a time to be alive!
Hi Ottmar,
I’m a big fan of your playing and music and my comment /question has nothing to do with your article above but I was just wondering you’ve moved and live in Europe now but how come you never perform there? or at least it seem’s that way from your posted concert dates ,just curious.Thank you
It’s been a while since the last tour in 2017 (?) but in the decade before we played in Europe almost every other year. That last tour lost money, because several gigs that were promised didn’t happen, and so I decided to separate from my European agent. I never bothered to replace him.
