We had SO MUCH fun talking to Pitchfork EIC Puja Patel on this week's Have a Nice Future podcast. If you've been totally blown away (or fooled) by Fake Drake and other AI-gen music in recent weeks, this episode's for you. Also, I test @glichfield's AI music chops, and let's just say he does very very well https://www. wired.com/story/have-a-nice-fu ture-podcast-7/

"By elevating fringe characters and encouraging them to repeat or reference unfounded conspiracy theories, Carlson—who was suddenly dumped by Fox News—has helped bring often dangerous misinformation into the mainstream around the world.

Tucker Carlson isn’t just an American problem. He’s a dark spot tracking across the global internet."

So I'll be posting about this process from time to time, as it's my first real stab at book-length work. Who should I talk to about the intersection of tech and memories? What are some of the most compelling stories you've heard (or can share yourself) about the ways you've either felt more alive or, alternatively, de-humanized by tech's constant reminders?

Some big news: I'm writing a book, about the various ways the digital world has affected our memories & our sense of self. This is a topic that came to a head for me when I underwent major life changes in 2019-2020 and found myself bombarded with digital memories from the past. But that experience, and the story I eventually wrote about it, got me thinking much more broadly about the ways we store memories now, our nostalgia for an offline age, & what it means for our identities going forward.
