ted chiang on AI (20251021)

Life Is More Than an Engineering Problem | Los Angeles Review of Books

i finally disgorged this from my reading queue. there’s a lot to unpack in here. some interesting discussion about how language can frame our reality and some subtle (and important) reframing of how we talk/think about things in a world where AI seems to be omnipresent.

that it’s ted chiang musing on this makes it all the more interesting.
