Hi, I'm Miriam.
For fourteen years, I watched search engines learn to think. I get paid to understand how algorithms make choices, how they nudge us toward certain purchases, certain beliefs. A few years ago, I realised I had been studying power all along.
This became personal the day my son turned six and I realised he would inherit whatever we were building.
I am not against artificial intelligence. I am fully aware of its potential to accelerate cancer research or model climate solutions. What unsettles me is the haste. The venture capital. The men who speak of artificial general intelligence as if it were inevitable, as if we had already agreed.
I see the gap between what Silicon Valley promises and what ordinary people need. The way safety concerns get reframed as obstacles to progress. The peculiar certainty of leaders who have never faced redundancy.
I write because someone should be watching. Not from inside the industry, not from the academy, but from here, where the consequences land first.
I ask questions that make people uncomfortable. I read the fine print.
Thank you for reading. 🖤
