      Submission statement:
      It’s easy to underestimate how much the world can change within one or two generations. Reflecting on the major shifts we’ve already seen and gaining perspective over past changes might give us a better sense of how dramatically things could evolve in the years and decades ahead. This seems particularly relevant in the context of AI. It’s hard to imagine the arrival of technologies that will fundamentally change the world we are used to.

      Time is fascinating, and events appear to be increasing in frequency. What will the future hold?

      Should we allow for mostly open technological distribution? Or is some tech too dangerous?

      I was born before the internet was mainstream. Like it still existed but only for like schools and stuff.

      Now there are kids who are practically raised by the internet. It’s not just the nerds who are good at programming and bad at social structures who are into it any more, it makes the kids bad at social structures now.

      All of that said I don’t think generative ai is going to change the world the way companies are spending like it will.

      I think it’s going to kill the internet. Which is probably ideal.

      I’ve been thinking about this for a while now.

      Since advent of the internet, mass communication and cell phones, the ability to share ideas instantly has become ubiquitous.

      At 45, I’m at that unique age where I was able to experience my childhood before technology, but young enough to grow with it.

      I never in my wildest dreams thought I would have the access to knowledge like I do today.

      I can go on YouTube and watch Princeton lectures on quantum mechanics by Ed Witten, how to cook a gourmet meal by Gordon Ramsey, and then learn how to do a kickflip by Tony hawk (which I still can, thank you very much.)

      When I was a kid, I got my info from one of 5 channels on TV, the library or the playground.

      However, as with all good things, there can be the potential for bad; The spread of misinformation. We see it everywhere. I believe it can be a dangerous threat to humanity, especially with the advancement of AI.

      I’ve noticed myself shifting focus on being a better critical thinker, how to filter data and draw my best conclusions based on multiple sources and peer review.

      Like, what techno scams are going to be so convincing that they fool me when I’m my 70s?

      It’s been amazing, but terrifying and sad. I have the whole knowledge of humanity literally at my fingertips. That ability alone has to have some unpredictable effects on human progress.

      Tldr: I’m high.
