Blood in the Machine

By Brian Merchant

A newsletter about AI, Silicon Valley, labor and power.

Brian is one of the most phenomenal tech journalists working today. His work covering AI and automation is unparalleled and he is one of the few tech journalists out there regularly challenging power and holding Silicon Valley billionaires to account. I cannot recommend his Substack more highly!!
