Introducing: The Alphabet of AI

Or: "Fragments from my notebooks"

Writing is mostly editing — an endless process of shearing off material that, while interesting, isn’t right or relevant for your purposes.

So, in the spirit of conservation, I’ll be repurposing some of these fragments in the form of short (micro) essays — three to four paragraphs in length — on themes, ideas, or topics that have surfaced during my research. While I’ve called this series the Alphabet of AI, these fragments aren’t merely meditations on technological innovation or the particulars of AI development. Instead, I’ve taken liberties (and license) to write thinkingly into a range of topics and themes, to explain or expand on what they mean, and to tackle why they matter.

The first essay in the series will go live this week. I hope you’ll stick around!
