Steve Ledlow: ‘Intersecting Interests’

I’m simultaneously interested in how these modern technological advances (LLMs, for example) can be used for real value in our world and in how we as a human species can regain ground when it comes to our fragmented focus and battered attention spans. These interests are almost always in conflict because I recognize how much the first is being used against the second.

“Fragmented.” “Battered.” “Onslaught.” “Exhausted.” These are not healthy words to describe what’s happening to our attention. I’m curious what daily life will look like for humans in a century’s time, and how they’ll look back at the way we live. With longing? Or disgust?
