My new book, Co-Existence, is out today. It is a guide to how to live & work in a world where AI is sometimes, but not always, better than you.
(And, for the release, I worked with Opus 5.5 to make a quite interesting experience for the book's website: co-existence.ai/)

Protecting kids online shouldn’t come at the expense of constitutional rights. Algorithms help platforms filter harmful content, promote age-appropriate material, and manage the scale of online information. Preserving the freedom to curate content is essential to both online safety and free expression. buff.ly/4PXR6Bn
