Amy Webb 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hello again!

I joined Twitter in 2007, back when it was a weird little experiment, and stayed for nearly two decades as it became the place where I did my public thinking — signals, forecasts, arguments that occasionally changed my mind. I was there for the fail whale. Then, all my people left, and I stopped using the platform too. My conversations moved to private groups, and I’ve been mostly quiet on social media since.

After a long hiatus, I’m now back... on Substack. I'm lurking here, but if you want to chat you'll find me over there. The next few years will be stranger than most people are prepared for. Let's make sense of them together.

As you know, AI leaders are breathlessly calling for slower frontier model pacing to make sure humanity doesn't end.

In 2019, I wrote about this very situation in The Big Nine and offered concrete plans for what to do when we got to this day in the future.

I'm thrilled (read: extremely irritated) that our lawmakers sat on their hands and the debate now is more about market consolidation than safety. (1/ many)

In 2017, I thought that the Rolling Stones would be dead but still making new music thanks to a nascent generative AI tool for music. I got the band wrong but the tech right.

(Literally, how are they still performing?!)

I'm grading my previous scenarios -- read on to see how I scored on this one.
