Welcome to the November issue of The Highlight

AI is improving at what feels like a breakneck pace. Once, it struggled with basic syntax; now, it can ace some college-level coursework. The better it gets, the more reason there is to worry about what it could soon mean for all of our jobs — and whether continued progress could doom many to a permanent economic underclass. In this month’s Highlight cover story, Eric Levitz examines the fatalistic futurist’s vision of “AGI-induced neofeudalism” and how it can still be avoided. Also in this issue: how police body cameras have turned from an accountability measure into YouTube content. A better way to think about caring for yourself. And why peanut butter is back in the lunchroom.
