The plan for now is to freelance, so if you’re an editor taking pitches or working on a podcast, let’s talk! My shtick is a little hard to summarize, but I love writing analysis, essays + features w/ voice across all kinds of beats, often at the intersection of politics + culture

Does the future of war look more like the cyberpunk world advertised on DC transit, or like a drafty factory in northeast Pennsylvania. A roundup of my recent work over at Substack.

How it is possible that the most expensive military on earth doesn't have enough ammunition to fight a war?

I tackle that question in my first piece for @time, linked below

While it’s not impossible that future AI systems could turn on humans, far more likely in the short term is that hallucinations, poor design, or misinformation will lead to a disaster, writes @joshuakeating. https://t.co/8pl25lm7sx

[Josh Keating @joshuakeating]

Superintelligent AI might still kill us all, but for the moment, I'm more worried about the times when AI is still kinda dumb

I expanded on my latest @NewYorker column in Substack, with shout-outs to smart, related pieces by @alanboswell, @_hudsonc, @joshuakeating, and others https://t.co/pSsNiuzl1U

[Keith Johnson @KFJ_FP]

I don't have, nor do I have much interest in reading about, "super intelligence." But If you must, you must read @joshuakeating

I published my first Substack. I'm going to start every week by surfacing bits of my New Yorker column and other related commentary. I'd welcome all new subscribers, especially those who were used to reading WorldView on a regular basis.

1/ China reportedly proposed reciprocal visits to nuclear test sites & national labs—a potentially significant and surprising step given active developments at Lop Nur & CAEP facilities.
What might explain this seeming softening of Beijing’s resistance to nuclear engagement?

The problem with "human in the loop" might be the human.
