About Spatial Awareness

Most AI and tech newsletters tell you what’s new. Spatial Awareness is about what it’s doing to you.

AI isn’t just changing software or workflows. It’s changing how people think, what they pay attention to, what they believe, and how they relate to reality. Most people are adapting to that without realizing it. This publication is about making that visible.

I’m Chris Sotraidis. I studied psychology and cognitive science, then spent the last decade working in tech, across product strategy, Web3, and AI systems. That perspective shapes how I approach emerging technology: not just what it does, but how it reshapes human behavior, culture, and cognition in ways that are often hard to see in real time.

Each essay connects what’s happening in AI to the deeper shifts underneath it. Not just new tools, but the erosion of attention, the rise of synthetic media, the collapse of trust, and the changing role of human judgment. If you find yourself wondering not just what technology does, but what it does to people, you’ll feel at home here.

What you’ll get

New essays and short takes each week on AI, emerging technology, and how they’re reshaping how you think, work, and interpret the world. No hype, no surface-level summaries, and no trend-chasing — just clear, grounded thinking about what’s actually changing and why it matters.
