I could get into a complex and somewhat pessimistic argument over economics and the scale of the AI bubblr on top of other financial time bombs.
But instead I cast PALANTIR!
I guess im saying im optimistic things will swing the other way, and the fallout will hurt like savings and loan or the housing crash, but people can still find a way i think to build new things that are more sustainable and more ethical and restrict the harmful stuff. AI is a wide field. Of course it the landscape is horrifying now, im just trying to do what I can to stay positive.
Stay alive. This is likely going to get much, MUCH worse before getting better.
