The internet was a mistake, and the AI "uncanny valley" can never be bridged if you know what life was like before it all went to absolute shit. We should have stopped it at like 2000 CE. The internet was squishy. It had fun corners and shapes. Only one person could use it at a time, maybe two if you were lucky. You could LEAVE. You could get up and leave. Remember being able to leave? ... AND it didn't follow you. I'm not saying things were happier back then, but I think it was less invasive, and it wasn't monetized much. The internet could empower us, but I do not think that's the direction its lil ol' stakeholders have in mind. Yeah, the internet can connect people in positive ways, but as we move forward in a new technological paradigm, the internet itself has entered the chat. Large language models like chatGPT have become the spicy mayo of the internet. Certain people love it on everything until you realize it's not for everything. It's good for very specific situations and when it's good it's great. Jobs will be morphing into quality assurance of the automated job you once had. Once you automated the quality assurance, our technocrat billionaire overlords will, I dunno, ask us to guard their fallout bunkers? Why can't accountability be the spicy mayo? Don't forget to vote and vote at the state and local level.
