Hey, Pulse readers!
You have no idea how good it feels to be back and write these lines! Sorry for disappearing on you for a while. It wasn’t out of laziness or anything like that, but when life gets in your way and you need to prioritise, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do…
But now Pulse is back, and hopefully will continue to be consistent like the few years it has been.

Pets, Aliens, Spirits, and Slaves
Kevin Kelly’s Technium is a must-read blog and his latest post is a fantastic piece on our relationship with AIs…
“There are roughly five different models we can adopt for our relationships with AIs. In the future our lives will be packed with thousands of different species of AIs, so we’ll relate in multiple ways depending on the type of AI were are using at the time.”
Pets, Aliens, Spirits, Slaves, and Overlords are the types of relationships KK explains we probably will have with different categories of AIs in the future. It was a great reference point for me to structure my thoughts around our behaviour with AIs.
