Paul Levinson returns just in time to discuss the release of Robots through the Ages, published by Blackstone Publishing, it includes stories from some of the best writers of science fiction, both old and new. This anthology, with an introduction by Robert Silverberg, offers a sweeping survey of robots as depicted throughout literature. Paul's story, Robinson Calculator, is included in this collection.

We talk about the future of AI, should robots have rights, and what does the way we treat our technology say about us.

The possibility that our new innovations and technologies could re-humanize us. Apr 14, 2023

Show notes

What if we have been focusing on the wrong things to define what's 'human' and 'normal'?

What if a shift in the definition of healthy human behavior and how time is best spent can be realized through our technology?

This in no way minimizes or re-frames my concerns that I still have about AI or screen time in general. But several things can be true at the same time, and as a tech optimist, I am hopeful we can find our way forward in better and more beneficial ways.

This is an audio version ( Me Reading) of my recent Substack post.
