I used to have my thumb on the pulse and would constantly read tech blogs but I just don't care anymore. Everything's becoming too expensive, boring, and problematic.

He might have somewhat of a point. Im definitely not enthusiastic about where AI is probably gonna take us.

I keep up on tech too. Maybe it's just me, but a lot of it seems like tech for tech's sake. We're getting beyond making things easier and more convenient with some of these projects.

Black Mirror has be black pilled on technology to some degree.

Outside of the scifi or even doomerist shit, it really does seem like the recursive efficiency and optimization intrinsically built into technological development and its integration is taking some of the spice out of life.

Are we working towards a utopia where Earth is a giant nature zoo/park where I can live wildly for 10,000 natural years like a fucking elf before I decide to merge into a godlike collective consciousness? No. We're turning the planet into a shit hole.

And back onto the doomerist shit;
ignoring the problematic shit with Weinstein and the fact that this video is an ego inflating faux intellectualist fearmongering, he's pretty much 100% spot on.

In the book 1984 all entertainment was written by computers too. Another way it's being used as a guide.

I'd say I'm a Luddite as far as specific applications of AI go, but I disagree with going backwards.

It would be nice if we detoured off the "make smartphone faster and social media algo more evil" tech tree to pick up fusion and flying cars.

ChatGPT is probably the bare minimum of what my kid brain would have expected by 2023.
