My favorite one from qntm is probably Miguel Acevedo [1]. It is pretty spot on wrt. several topics related to the current AI boom ; for instance the licensing topic.

MMAcevedo, the TV series Pantheon, and the play The Summerland Project are all excellent treatments of the topic.

If you enjoyed any one of those three, then I recommend the others.

That's one of those ones that really sticks with you. First time I read it I had to sit alone and just think for quite a while afterward.

It's like four pages and it lays out the fiction better than many 400-page novels or entire films dealing with similar subject matters have, IMO.

I just completed the work and have to agree with you.

My timing is poor. Should have taken that "sit alone" part more seriously. I have an intense need to do just that!

I can give myself some time. Unlikely to be enough.
