Paul, I appreciate how you elaborate on the uniqueness of stress due to AI and how it connects to techno-stress and adaptation over the years. I would be interested to keep reading more about the stress of feedback loops that reward the same power structures that are sapping our ability to be healthy human beings as we find our way. It seems like a small number of people/companies have an outsized impact on this, and we are trying to adapt downstream more than changing conditions upstream.

Paul, huge congratulations on hitting the 700 subscriber milestone and publishing your 100th issue! That’s no small feat. This here is a fricking grind lol.

We talk about burnout and workplace stress a lot, but rarely dissect the source code, so to speak. AI may be the latest stressor, but your framework shows it’s part of a larger lineage.

Looking forward to seeing how this evolves.

Happy Wednesday to you..

Like the graphic. We sure have come along way from the stress of work computer/personal computers and going from Internet at work to everyone having it at home 🏠

Very interesting and complex issue. I’ll be very interested in following your path detailing technostress.

My technology interests are companions to yours. Technophilia which is the love of and immediate adoption of all new technologies and technolatency especially compound technolatency which is the delayed recognition of the effects on society by a technology or - for compound - multiple supportive technologies acting together
