AI is making us a little crazy

Posted on May 20, 2026

I’ve been working on a new piece. It was originally intended to be a Daily but I’ve struck a nerve in myself and its message is more significant than I originally intended.

In some sense this piece is the opposite side of my Daily AI makes us creative.

I think it’s an important message and getting the tone right has been tricky so I’m giving myself a few extra days to revisit and edit it.

It will be called The Permanent Underclass and it will be published as a Thought in a few days, at which point a dedicated email will go out to subscribers and I will also edit this post to link to it.

I hope you’ll check it out.
