I deleted a toot in which I expressed anxiety that people would steal my CDs at my garage sale today. Ha! only 3-4 people even bothered to look at them and I only sold a few.
What is wrong with you people?!?
Apparently (I've been told) NOBODY listens to CDs anymore because they're all streaming or Siri-ing or YouTubing. Hell, back in my day...
You know what, forget it - before you know it AI will be telling us all what to listen to anyway. Too much change

A different way to make AI, in the very early stages of development. Might even work...

You Can Have the Blue Pill or the Red Pill, and We’re Out of Blue Pills

We can still choose which future we want with A.I. When godlike powers are matched
with commensurate responsibility and control, we can realize the benefits that A.I. promises.

We have summoned an alien intelligence. We don’t know much about it, except that it is extremely powerful and offers us bedazzling gifts but could also hack the foundations of our civilization.

This new Microsoft tool that can mimic anyone's voice with 3 seconds of audio (and the improved versions that come later) is going to unleash all kinds of potential for mischief. Cool, but also terrifying. arstechnica.com/information-te

You have a point, a person cannot successfully challenge authority if they have no rationality nor respect for evidence.

Part of the problem is their disrespect for evidence is so great it becomes a denial of reality found in mental illness.

Personally I'm fond of @cstross working hypothesis that it is caused by future shock.

Is a history containing more artificial elements, like CGI, Bots, and Deep Fakes, less meaningful than some other history containing fewer of these elements?

Are we on the brink of making history meaningless?

I mean, what good is a history if it can overwritten so easily?

Everyone everywhere should read Alvin and Heidi Toffler. Reading Future Shock (1970) changed my whole way of seeing the world and now that I'm reading The Third Wave (1980) I can see that it's they that are great, not just one of their books. Seriously, do yourself a favor and read their stuff. Put a longer scope on your time horizon, bro.
