Dear AI Overloads, Don’t Fuck This Up
For the latest Wired cover, I photographed the history-making force of Open AI (Chat GPT, Dall-e anyone?). It’s mind boggling to think that that these once-far-off sci-fi dreams are being transformed into reality right from San Francisco’s mission district.
The technological advances have profound implications and it begs the question - what does it mean to be human in the age of AI?
I thought of Irving Penn’s corner portraits for how it suggest humanity in a vulnerable space. Could I create a corner/curve to let the story of the team and their motives unfold?
They were less the distant tech giant that one might expect, but rather idealists driven more by a bold idea than an ego or a product. And all of this takes place in a city full of contradictions that is San Francisco. It also where I happen to call home.
Excellent story by Steven Levy

BIG personal news: I wrote a book! And it’s good. I promise. It comes out on September 15th!
So what is I DISAGREE about? It’s my answer to the question I get the most: How do you do it?
It’s not just Democrats that ask me. It’s people of all political stripes who watch the Five or see clips of me flying around and feel like they’re going to get an ulcer from just a few minutes of the heated political debate we engage in daily. They want to understand the dynamic - “what’s it like in commercial breaks?” - but more than that they want to know how I stay true to my values, find common ground where it’s available, and communicate across political and social divides. And they want to do it, too!
That’s what I DISAGREE does. It uses my life experiences, and some social science, as a roadmap for big lessons that can help all of us do better in representing our beliefs in tough situations. Hopefully, we’ll be able to forge a path toward better politics and, crucially, better relationships. You could be facing anything from the Thanksgiving table, to the water cooler at work (if you go to the office), to a TV hit in front of 4 million viewers. It’s all rooted in using the same accessible tools for building confidence, knowledge, and approach to difficult conversations and issues.
I DISAGREE is available for pre-order now at the link in my bio or my story, and comes out on September 15th. Hope you’ll get a copy! Can’t wait to talk to all of you about it ❤️
