#HappyWeekend — and happy thinking, too. 
The Hybrid Species — When Technology Becomes Human, and Humans Become Technology
A fresh transmission from my Musing On Society and Technology newsletter:
We used to build machines to serve us.
Now we build them to complete us.
So… what happens when the line between us and them disappears?
This is the follow-up to my Robbie piece — where #Asimov made us wonder if trust could be earned by a robot that didn’t even speak.
Well, now the machines do speak. They pretend to understand us. And we pretend they do, too.
But here’s the twist: maybe we’re not just surrounded by machines — maybe we’re slowly becoming one. Or better yet: when carbon and silicon don’t just coexist, but converge… maybe something new is emerging.
A hybrid species.
Not science fiction — just evolution, with a bit of attitude.
No panic. No utopia either. Just me thinking out loud, wondering what’s coming — and whether we’re wise enough to carry the best of ourselves into whatever comes next.
No time to read? Let my AI companion TAPE3 read it to you — it’s got a voice and just enough sass to make it weirdly charming.

If you find these musings worth your time, share them with someone who likes to think sideways. And follow both my newsletter and podcast — there’s a lot more where this came from. 
Cheers,
