People are starting to wake up to the imminent disruption of their careers, lives and societies. If you’re one of them, you may find news from the frontline of interest
Great article ✅💯🎊 I am even more optimistic about the future. Humans have evolved from compulsory drudgery to optionality of choosing their path forward, what we DO need to work on is updating & improving our understanding of values, wealth, ethics, financial expectations etc… if one expects to keep centuries old economic and financial goals & incentives static, why sure , the new shoes will definitely NOT fit … plenty of room to design /invent / discover/ stumble into different set of incentives, motivations, social systems etc etc … humanity has been doing so since it’s inception… we should celebrate the new superpowers we’ve been given
Thanks … it’s not going to be smooth, I’ve started studying this more closely, there are definitely reversals in store and previous apex cultures faded into dust… some lasted thousand of years and some just a few decades… I keep reflecting on the fact it wasn’t until quantum mechanics turned up, no one had a clue how our sun worked until literally 100 years ago, and then Schrödinger came up with equation, the idea of quantum tunneling appeared, this opened up the conceptual barriers to enable nuclear fusion as a possibility. Up to that time, literally 100 years ago, the brightest minds and essentially all humans thought it was either some god, or burning wood, then coal, then oil. Once QM was understood, it took only a few more decades for small temporary suns(H bombs); now we’re working on fusion reactors that will free us from the tyranny of fossil fuels…
I am still looking for human intelligence to apply artificial intelligence intelligently ...
Ha!

Well, I certainly hope your optimistic take turns out to be the case, Elan! Thanks for the thoughtful feedback.

I'm too much of a wordcel to understand much of that shape-rotator science, but I'm oddly reassured by the point I think you're making, Elan!
