What We’re Reading: What Can’t AI Do?

Hi everybody, I’ll be honest, when concerns about generative AI first made headlines, all I could think about was Robocop, the ’80s Terminator series, and Minority Report. Those movies are about mixing technology with humanity to create superbeings that, in theory, stop problems before they start. …

How a U.S. Army veteran found a way to share his experiences with the world

An interview with writer Benjamin Sledge, whose Medium stories on mental health and military service lead to a book and helped build a community — Benjamin Sledge is a mental health advocate and U.S. Army veteran who uses Medium to reflect on his experiences at war — and to help fellow veterans feel less alone.

A selection of Medium stories you may have missed this week — I was perusing Medium this week for stories about Tina Turner, the iconic American rock and soul legend who recently passed away — age 83 — at her home in Switzerland.

What we’re reading: You can’t wait until later

A selection of Medium stories you may have missed this week — As we enter mid-May, I’m struck again by the swift passage of time. The year, which seems like it only just began, is already more than a third of the way over. One of the most affecting pieces I’ve read recently on Medium is a meditation on time’s fast flow…

What we’re reading: celebrations and sorrow

Reflections on Mother’s Day, a window into the Carroll v. Trump trial, and more perspectives worth reading — Hey y’all, I recently received an email from a retailer, asking if I would like to opt out of Mother’s Day emails and congratulations. (For our international readers: celebrating motherhood in mid-May is customary in the U.S.) I pondered that email, thinking about my two children, who are a joy…

Nuance over monolithic narratives

This month, we’re sharing a collection of personal stories exploring the joys, challenges, and complexities of the Asian American and Pacific Islander experience — “We are treated as a monolithic group, despite comprising more than 19 groups speaking over 38 languages,” Ellen K. Pao and Tracy Chou explain in a popular Medium essay about being Asian American in tech. It’s a good reminder that, though May in the U.S. is “Asian American and Pacific…
