This is another media interview, this time with Pacifica radio host Arnie Arnesen, on the topic of AI and Google, and also AI more generally. For a clickable transcript you can use to navigate the conversation, use the “Transcript” button above. (UPDATE: See illustration below.)

The piece we discussed is here:

Along the way we covered several interesting topics. For example:

• Why does fiction often make facts more real?

• What was the Cult of the Airman and what’s the equivalent today?

I’ve known Arnie Arnesen for years and have been on her show many times. I hope you give this episode a listen.

Arnie and I also discussed a book I’m completing, a near-future political thriller called A Complicated Man. Stay tuned if you read thrillers — and let me know in the comments if you want to hear more.
