Kevin Roose Didn’t Use AI to Write His Book About AI
The author of The AGI Chronicles says his book “was written by a very tired, overworked, under-slept human being.”
Kevin Roose and Casey Newton recently launched a new media company called Machine Gods Media, with a podcast sharing the same name. The duo left The New York Times with the intention of discussing artificial intelligence progress seriously, acknowledging its capabilities and risks, and entertaining people in the face of uncertainty.
The new show aims to address the gap in the media landscape, where some critics claim AI progress is a hype cycle and others focus solely on the positive aspects without discussing potential risks. The show, published in partnership with NPR, seeks to reach a broader audience, including those not typically interested in tech news.
The investment from NPR is seen as beneficial, providing distribution on radio and helping the show grow.
