if you ask me this is what technology is for. the sooner we stop letting the most antisocial people among us decide the course of scientific and technological progress and the purpose of existing tech, the better
A Houston hospital is the first in the U.S. to use a device that lets parents hold their premature babies skin-to-skin while they remain in an incubator. The technology is helping families bond during an especially difficult time. bit.ly/4z2W4lz

As a fantasy writer, I'm often thinking about the ephemera of our technological era as it might inform a high magic setting. Today we embed technological widgets into the simplest things. What would that look like in artifacts from a high magic civilization? A child's doll with runes that twinkle?

In reality a range of medical problems are all but solved in a technological sense.
Based on available diagnostics, drugs and vaccines, no-one has to die from measles, malaria or AIDS to name just three. The bottleneck is not the lack of a technological solutions but of political/social ones.

I'm not against technology, but I am against most technological pursuits of for-profit U.S. companies over the last 15+ years — where everything has been designed to extract wealth from consumers through harassment or enshittification, irrespective of demand or quality

In my latest Substack piece, I argue that hopes for a technological breakthrough may be more the consequence of a reluctance to rebalance than the cause of its perpetual postponement.

Rebalancing and Technological Breakthroughs

they kept saying technological progress was inevitable regardless of public opinion, i wonder what changed
So what I'm hearing is tech oligarchs, industry leaders, investors pre-blaming Dems for an AI boom slowing down due to likely increased oversight of data centers and/or pauses on AI-specific data center build out. Reminder: AI data center opposition was coming from all sides, GOP & Dem voters alike.

"magic systems" aren't magic at all, they're just irrealistic technologies. There's nothing wrong with technological fantasy! but it's not the same thing as magic!
the next time you feel inclined to explain the magic in your story bear in mind that bad system is a billion times worse than no system and magic is the beautiful thing that doesn't need a system and if that still doesn't do it for you ask yourself if learning about midichlorians made you happier
