Imagine if LLMs were building models around your specific skill sets, and doing so without your consent and without compensation, and then allowing users to access your skills by mentioning your specific name in a chat. This is what’s happening with writers and other creatives, and this is what very specifically happened to former Pitchfork editor-in-chief Mark Richardson when we were making the first episode of our new newsletter, Erasures. I sat down with Mark for a video podcast and spoke with him about that experience, and what it means for the future of creatives and the idea of what intellectual property means in a post-AI world. Excerpt below, and full podcast/Q&A in the link in first comment.

What a fun episode of TeleGeography Explains the Internet. I'm just catching up on our interview with Tim Urban, and I love that the discussion explores why humans communicate the way they do. Eventually, the podcast returns to the topic of how technology influences communication today, but I was left with a deep appreciation for just how young the internet is in the grand scheme of things. It's no wonder the internet *feels* so crazy—our brains are still adjusting to having access to this much information. Really interesting.

Listening to today’s What’s On Dec? podcast, I noticed a lot of overlap with a blog I wrote back in February on AI in claims adjusting. William Harnett described how underwriting workbenches are finally tackling the long-standing pain of unstructured submissions - emails, PDFs, Word docs - and turning them into structured workflows. That mirrors exactly what I wrote about on the claims side: • Adjusters and underwriters both drown in messy, inconsistent data. • Processes have stayed unstructured by design, because it was impossible to standardize the inputs. • Every file is different, so traditional rule-based systems broke down. The difference now is AI. For the first time, we have tools that can interpret unstructured text, images, and documents, and convert them into structured, usable insights. That’s what enables real process discipline, faster cycle times, and less burnout - without forcing your 80-year-old offline customer to change their ways. Underwriting or claims, the story is the same: AI is making it possible to finally bring order to the chaos. #Insurance #Claims #Underwriting #AI

When did "being seen" become our only measure of cultural value? We've living Dashboard Culture: if something doesn't register as a metric, it doesn't exist. Spectacle eclipses substance. The counter? Camouflage Culture: output invisible to brands, metrics and algorithmic capture. Algo-speak, "vibes," Chatham House Rules, three hour podcasts, Yondr phone-locking pouches. But can we critique without fear and without going invisible? The latest for ZINE is a collab with Remi Carlioz and exploration of what happens when we lack the necessary "distance" for criticism.
