Welcome to The Nightcrawler — a weekly newsletter from Eric Markowitz covering tech, innovation, and long-term thinking.
Video games matter. Their continued technological and artistic development is reshaping the way we satisfy our ancient need to tell stories.
AIs can imitate but not innovate — for now, at least.
Flexible organic circuits might someday hook right into your head.
In a state of “hyperwar,” accidents or unexpected AI decisions could lead to widespread devastation before humans could intervene.
It’s far less likely to wander into bizarre lies, emotional rants, and manipulative tangents.
