The New Mystērion

Dinner Party Jargon

This weekend I was at a dinner party with the theme “The AI Bubble.” A brilliant conceit: an evening structured around a single conversation topic; perfectly in keeping with the kind of generative thinking that always comes from my dear friend, who recently lectured at MIT on the future of technology. The dining room and living room were filled with minds moving easily between literature, quantum computing, and art: a constellation of thought floating there several storeys above Central Park West.
