Skynet versus Bluesky

AI has escaped the walled gardens already, don’t bet on Bluesky, and an exclusive subscription offer (oooh)

THE HARD SELL: A thousand of you have signed up to the free list for Techtris. Thanks! I hope you’re enjoying it, and getting some value from it. This, however, will be the penultimate completely free weekly issue – after next week, the bulk of the full weekly newsletter will be for paid subscribers only.

I will continue to send shorter, news-y updates to the free list, but this longer weekly email will become for paid subs only. I hope some of you consider upgrading. 

For a limited time only, if you take out an annual subscription I will send you a free copy (of your choice) of either Post-Truth: How Bullshit Conquered The World or The System: Who Owns The Internet And How It Owns Us. 

Postage will be free for the UK, £5 for EU nations and £7 for the rest of the world, and delivery will take a couple of weeks (so I can send everything in a batch). If you already have an annual subscription, you are very welcome to a free book as a thankyou – just drop me an email if you’d like one!
