If you can't see the difference between prior technological jumps and this current jump, you are part of the problem.

The world is changing quickly. Our most coveted defining traits - our minds - are under attack. This is a technology that seeks to replicate your thought processes and critical thinking and then to execute it at machine speeds.

If you think this is like the industrial revolution, you're actually right. We're still replacing animals with machines. But now we are the animals.

Anything other than a serious discussion about UBI or a post-labour economy is a joke. This is technology that aims to displace most of us.

What new jobs/fields do you see developing out of AI tools and how they've been marketed so far? Every step of automation across the history of humanity has led to a "concentration of power" in jobs/fields which required brainpower. AI is the technology coming for brainpower. Where do we go from there? Back to farming? And when I say AI is coming for the brainpower, it's coming for it in two ways: directly where it takes our jobs and indirectly where a lot of people using it are seemingly getting dumber. Both are quite dangerous to our combined futures.
