Miles_Brundage · x · 2026-10-23
Miles Brundage shares a new essay by deepfates in Long Now's Pace Layers 02026–02027, exploring AI and time: how an influx of new minds simultaneously disrupts every pace layer of society, ecological-level thinking about AI, and the strangeness of compressing human knowledge into a diamond-like mind. The author notes recent events have only made the thesis more relevant; the piece is readable online with a print issue available for pre-order.
