There's an incredible feedback loop between sci-fi and technology. I'm so excited to announce I'll be hosting a panel South Park Commons on how the stories we tell shape the world we build, featuring: Neal Stephenson Ken Liu Cyan Banister Joscha Bach

My essay, "The Cinematograph and the Noematograph," is out at Big Think. It's my attempt to work out what exactly is "AI art" and why it might be interesting to human artists and art consumers. Let me know what you think! bigthink.com/high-culture/k…

Ken Liu's essay Big Think is well worth a read. It's not only an original take on AI but a lovely reminder that for creativity will evolve both art and technology in ways we can't (yet) imagine. A delight getting to work with you on this one, Ken!

Mark Lawrence asked 4 authors to write flash stories and generated 4 more stories using ChatGPT 5. Then he asked readers to vote and see if they could tell which ones were AI-authored. I have much to say about this, but for now, go try it yourself. mark---lawrence.blogspot.com/2025/08/so-is-…
