morgan baskin“a short and accessible book about AI that is neither fear mongering nor hype regurgitating. the focus is primarily on how AI (and all technology) can be used as a tool or can use humans as a tool. Cory zooms way out, contextualising AI in labour, copyright, and economics. he also talks about what we can do and where we should focus our energy. you can buy DRM free from his website, or anywhere you can buy books. I borrowed from the library so worth checking yours!”
