Recommended sources to read up on new tech and thinking

So, I feel like what with all teh AI and LLM talk that many articles deal with the nitty gritty technical side, and not so much about the philosophical, social, or community aspect of this new tech, and to what sort of future we are heading for. I used to read Daring Fireball for its short, to the point approach, but the articles have become quite lengthy; I don't mind lengthy when it is more academic, just not so much for opinion-oriented. I'd love to hear suggestions of who to read, what sites to peruse, and even which (e)books to pour over, please.
