This week we published the most important essay we’ve ever run about the artificial intelligence revolution. It’s about nothing less than how AI will create the most profound identity crisis humanity has ever faced—and how we can all survive the coming maelstrom.
On Tuesday, I hosted a livestream conversation for subscribers with the authors of the piece: economist and Free Press columnist Tyler Cowen and Anthropic chief of staff Avital Balwit. We unpacked the big ideas in their piece: whether we are helping create the tools of our own obsolescence; what this profound technological change will mean for human flourishing; and, on a practical level, how to adapt to a world where the machines are much, much smarter than us.

I guess this means the end of The Free Press.
Excellent conversation on a subject I've been thinking a lot about. Unfortunately, I missed parts of it. Can you send us out a transcript so we can read it at our own pace? Sure would appreciate it.....
