I think about this a lot, and have been vacillating between AI-driven cultural and technical stagnation due to it being so much easier to generate derivative slop rather than make something new from-scratch, and an age of cultural/technical acceleration because so many people have interesting but latent thoughts and now there are great tools to help get them out into the world much more easily.

I’m just another internet rando, but I did get this exact email on my work account maybe 2 weeks ago. I thought it was so clever I didn’t even forward it to our cybersecurity team.


Gasp! Now other companies will be able to produce rounded, silver rectangles!
Even back then they knew AI wouldn’t sit idly by and serve humanity.

This is beyond insane. Besides all the usual reasons, the shingles vaccine was recently demonstrated to be the single most effective deterrent to Alzheimer’s and dementia, reducing the risk by something like 20%. I can’t believe that an older MAGA would be any more excited about getting dementia than a normal person.
Looking forward to? You’re already living in it.
