An essay I wrote tracing the 80-year evolution from Vannevar Bush's 1945 vision of the memex to Geoffrey Hinton's contemporary warnings about artificial intelligence.

Shout out to the Advent of Computing podcast (https://adventofcomputing.com/) for finally getting me to read Bush's classic essay. As I read it, I was struck by the parallels in AI today.
