A brilliant article on the dangers and ramifications of gamification, with some powerful thoughts on how to find a silver lining.
For decades, smart people have been quietly turning your life into a series of games. They've been doing this because the easiest way to make you do what they want is to make it fun. So how do we play, without getting played?. My new essay.

What an absolutely incredible premise: re-living one’s life in a non-chronological order, but by some other grouping/ordering of events sharing a “quality”. The snippet below suggests one, but could also be proximity, people involved, emotional state at the time, etc 🤯.
@shreyas @patrick_oshag @davideagleman This book operates on a different plane. If this preface doesn't get you excited to read it, not sure what will. Thanks for recommendation @shreyas

I’m very proud to work @DeepMind where we’re not only pushing the research frontier in AI but also investing in developing African participation in AI, starting with @DeepIndaba the last few years, and now also with scholarships at my alma mater @StellenboschUni. Exciting times!.
To ensure that AI is a technology of global benefit, increasing African participation is vital. We’re very excited to announce DeepMind’s first scholarship programme on the African continent with @StellenboschUni. Read more about it here:
