Hey, Alberto here! 👋 Each week, I publish long-form AI analysis covering culture, philosophy, and business for The Algorithmic Bridge. Paid subscribers also get Monday how-to guides and Friday news commentary. I publish occasional extra articles.
QUICK REMINDER:
If you read the free edition and have been thinking about subscribing, this is the best time. I won’t do another offer anytime soon.
You don’t know what AI will do to the economy, to your job, or to the way you spend your days. That’s great news for our topic today: how to prepare for a long period of uncertainty.
AI uncertainty is not a temporary condition. It’s not that we’re waiting for more data, and then we’ll know. No, we won’t know. We never do, actually—AI just makes it weirder because it belongs to a class of phenomena that Nassim Taleb calls fat-tailed: the range of possible outcomes is so vast and the extremes so disproportionately impactful that the average outcome—the most likely AI scenarios—tells you almost nothing about what to do besides “proceed as usual.”
