Hi, itās Charley, and this is Untangled, a newsletter about technology and power.
In February:
š§ Ā I published the essayĀ āThe ongoing tug of war between open and closed AI.ā
šĀ I published my second Tiny Book,Ā Crypto Untangled.Ā Now, a paid subscription gets you access toĀ two e-books,Ā all special issues, andĀ every other issue, includingĀ the podcast.
š I publishedĀ my second-ever āreading listā for paid subscribers, contextualizing my favorite articles, papers, and books about crypto and blockchain technology.
šļø I Untangled the News about techno-authoritarianism, how values become encoded in machine learning models, what we misunderstand about the harms of social media on kids, and what everyone is getting wrong about Sora, OpenAIās text-to-video tool.
