Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Last Sunday, August 14, I organized a drum circle as a memorial for my husband, who died exactly 6 months earlier on February 14. His birthday was on August 14. Like GPD-3, I cling to the belief that in the afterlife, we reunite with those we love. It is my only comfort right now.
I missed the first appearance of the Sturgeon moon too but I caught it again last night (in the middle of a village in Scotland). It came over the hills full and bright and beaming out a magnificent light. It's face had an O and it looked a bit surprised to see me. It generously bathed us in its light (I'm sure the bot could describe it better). I've never seen anything like it, in terms of where I was stood in the world. It felt very intimate. It felt important for me at that moment in time.
I apologise about the UK Royal Family and Anthony Gormley. I dont feel either of those institutions are a good representation of us. I often find AG's work very disappointing. I loved this newsletter and the chat with the bot. Sometimes I worry if my husband has set up a bot to answer me when I message him (this is a running joke between me and him, he is a techie and I'm a bit of a luddite so don't be concerned). Take care and enjoy riding the waves of this month's incredible moon energy.
Turing was amazing! Thank you for this story sharing more about his life. And that moon was gorgeous!! Glad to know it was a special one even if it was a day late.
This one moved me so much Will. There was a book I read a few years that dealt with this exact premise of the main character sitting in a lab and administering the Turing test to an AI and it was one of the best romances I'd read in a while. Can't remember the name though. I rambled. Have a fab weekend

If it helps, true AI hasn't been achieved so there's no need to be afraid of it... yet. And surely, the statue is homophobic 💀

This is so beautiful and gives me hope that we'll all be reunited with our loved ones in the After Life Lounge some day. Thank you.
Nice post here
Aye this is gorgeous writing. You have the gift. I binge read a bunch of your columns before my flight took off.
Really enjoyed reading this. Thanks Will!😊
Lots of rich metaphors here for these early manifestations of what we see today.
Wow. Wow on this piece. This is so well done. Thank you for this.
Gosh this is just tremendous. Thank you Will 💓
So cool—love it!
Loved this!
Turing’s story is so sad. I’m pleased we remember him with open hearts and respect. Thanks for a very interesting post.
Great article!
