The Permaweird with Venkatesh Rao
After some weeks of nativity bliss and medical drama we are back! A joy to invite Venkatesh Rao to take us down a number of his bunny trails, focussing initially on his great piece The Permaweird, the latest in his Great Weirding series. We discuss the tendency to call "crisis!", a generally ambient sense of weirdness, and how the latest developments in AI suggest that isn't slowing down anytime soonThe Permaweird: https://studio.ribbonfarm.com/p/the-permaweirdSubscribe to Ribbonfarm: https://studio.ribbonfarm.com/Follow Venkatesh on twitter: https://twitter.com/vgr
