Slow Variables

Slow Variables is a weekly essay on the things that change slowly and decide everything else — science, technology, A.I. and the Internet, with an interest in second-order effects rather than product news.

Each edition is read aloud here, about ten minutes, with chapters. The voice is synthetic; the words are the writer’s. The full text, footnotes, and a public ledger of every prediction made — graded when it comes due — are at slowvariables.net.

Nothing is locked and nothing is tracked. If an edition was worth something, you can pay for it: slowvariables.net/support
