Has anyone ever written about the power politics of microphones, audio quality and how they influence a remote meeting?

I leave so many meetings realizing that the people who had the most influence on the call were those with the best audio quality.

I wish people would realize that those who are qualified to build statistically-based, optimized, data-driven learning algorithms are not necessarily qualified to evaluate the larger notion of consciousness, how the human brain works, or how purely inductive reasoning systems are going to magically become self-aware and terminally-misaligned from a goal perspective.

We aren’t remotely close to AGI and you’re being duped by people with a strong financial incentive to convince you we are.

In trying to describe how the things that are happening to us (AI, DNA editing, climate change, resource contention, autocratic leanings, etc) are happening together in self-reinforcing ways, I summarized it as “The Suarez Multiverse”. Imagine all of @DanielSuarez’s books happening simultaneously.

A top European auto safety body is releasing new rules that will require physical buttons and knobs for key vehicle features to receive a full five-star safety rating. I’d like to see the same in North America.
