@tedchiang.bsky.social I was at an event several years ago for your book release, where you spoke about the coming panopticon. An audience member raised the question of what to do when people look at the same video and see different things….this is what he meant. Do you remember this?

I just created a series of seven deep-dive videos about AI, which I've posted to youtube and now here. 😊

Targeted to laypeople, they explore how LLMs work, what they can do, and what impacts they have on learning, well-being, disinformation, the workplace, the economy, and the environment.
Part 1: How do LLMs work?

Destroy our friends, and after weep their dust;
Our own love waking cries to see what’s done,
While shameful hate sleeps out the afternoon.
