This week, we welcome back our friend Max Read\\u2014dad, Twitter lurker, hat seller, and creator of the incredible Read Max newsletter\\u2014for an anniversary chat. (12:30) We speculate about the next phase of A.I. ascendancy and (28:25) large language model pioneers, and (44:00) unpack the labor dimensions of these technological shifts. Speaking of labor, (45:30) we get Max\\u2019s inside perspective on the WGA strike (in which, again, A.I. \\u2026) and express solidarity with the Insider journalists who just went on strike for a fair contract!\\xa0

In this episode, we ask:\\xa0

Will the next generation be expected to know how to write?\\xa0

Who will ChatGPT threaten to (awkwardly, inadequately, terrifyingly) replace?\\xa0

Is A.I. doing to writing what earlier technologies did to the music industry? Are we getting schooled in notions of collective authorship?\\xa0
